New TV Show puts a focus on Autism

I don’t get the the time to watch TV very often. My schedule rarely coincides with TV show times partly because of school and work. However, when I heard about a new Drama on NBC called Parenthood I had to make some time. The one hour drama that airs on Tuesdays 10/9c was inspired by the movie Parenthood. The pilot episode introduces us to the very colorful Braverman family who are anything but perfect and would easily remind you of an average family.

I became interested in the show because one of the main story lines within the show involves  a couple (Peter Krause, “Six Feet Under” and Monica Potter, “Trust Me”) who finds out that their son has aspergers . The show deals with the very real emotions that a family can face with a diagnosis on the spectrum. I am interested in seeing how the story continues to unfold with each new episode.

To learn more about the show or to watch the first 2 episodes visit http://www.nbc.com/parenthood/. You can also watch it at http://tvgorge.com/ along with all your other favorite TV shows.

How do you feel about the show? Would you recommend it to others?
