Oh and Jarrod I agree about Parenthood, 22 even would be way better than the amount we go this year

Parenthood is such a good show I can not believe that Body of Proof has more viewers. I hope Parenthood is back next season.
I like Ringer and it gets better each week but for some reason SMG is not pulling in the viewers like the Buffy days...I have a bad feeling it will be cancelled

sad for ringer as well! It stepped up it's game a lot! And I'm sure itt would be better if it aired on a more adult channel! Just my opinion!

Sucks for Ringer hitting a series low. It did pretty average last week for The CW. Was hoping they'd pick up. Oh well, I guess the writers better plan their next 7 episodes accurately to prepare for a major final wrapping up all storylines.
In regards to Parenthood, I really look forward to NBC renewals. I know it'll get a 4th season, but I hope they give it a fair amount. 24 for example?
