Question: Now that Parenthood has been renewed (best news ever, btw!) and The Event has not, is it possible we will see Jason Ritter return in season 3 to rekindle his relationship with Sarah? — Kellen
Ausiello: Seems likely. Even highly likely. In fact, when Mitovich spoke with Lauren Graham, she was hoping the same thing you were — so much so that real-life beau Peter Krause teased that she liked her leading man. “We all like him,” she laughed. “I like him for Sarah Braverman!” And you know what else the former Gilmore Girl likes for her current character? A job. “I think it’d be cool for her to have a career [as a writer],” she says, “and build on that some more.”
YES! That would be excellent. Wife and I wanted them to be together but we knew he had The Event so he prob wouldn't be on much. This would be great.
When Sarah dropped by his place to have her play read by an outside opinion, it just reminded me what great chemistry they had and how I'd hoped for The Event's failure just for this to happen again.

Yep, same thing I thought as well on the same scene! They do have great chemistry together.
For those interested here is the box art for the yet again DVD only release of season 2. Hopefully next year is the year where all shows or most will make the transition to Blu-ray.
Season 3 Preview: Kristina and Julia Deliver Major Baby Drama
Quote:
When NBC’s Parenthood kicks off its third season this fall, the Bravermans will be juggling multiple baby-themed plots.
When we last saw the fam, Adam and Kristina (played by Peter Krause and Monica Potter, respectively) were reeling from their pregnancy shocker, while Julia and Joel (Erika Christensen and Sam Jaeger) circumvented their infertility troubles by deciding to adopt.
“The Kristina/Adam/Haddie/Max/baby arc is really interesting and will essentially last the whole season,” creator Jason Katims tells TVLine, adding that “the idea of Julia wanting to have a baby is something that can be gripping and emotional, so I want to play that out, as well.”
Katims also reveals that he “absolutely” plans to incorporate some maternal conflict between the sisters-in-law, given their contrasting baby plots. “It’s interesting to put those two together,” he says.
Considering that Parenthood just received its Season 3 order, cast members are still in the dark as to what lies ahead for their characters. However, Jaeger hopes Joel and Julia’s impending journey will delve into the complicated adoption process.
“There’s a lot of great storytelling in that subject alone,” he shares. “I don’t think it will be easy for them to adopt — it never is. Plus, I don’t know if it’s happened too often on TV where we’ve seen the struggle to adopt, but boy, it’s an endless cycle of meetings and paperwork.
“It will be an issue that adoption is out of Julia’s hands,” he continues. “She likes to be in control, and this is a situation where there are tens of thousands of families that want to adopt, too.”
Krause, meanwhile, says his alter ego faces his own set of challenges. “I’m sure Adam’s wondering who the father is,” he deadpans. All joking aside, Krause predicts the new arrival will add further strain to the household, if only because “Adam doesn’t have a job, and [he] has enough problems already with Haddie and Max.”
Might we offer a completely logical solution for all parties involved? Kristina and Adam give their baby-to-be to Julia and Joel. (Yes, we did pitch this ridiculous idea to Katims and the cast, and for the record, Jaeger was on board.)
“Right?! They have two of those damn kids, they don’t need a third,” he laughs. “That’s a great storyline. It’s too early to tell, but I’d say you’re on to something there.”
The official and much better cover art for the season 2 DVD. Looks more like a drama show now and not a comedy. Also has a release date of August 30th.
NBC Head of Entertainment Paul Greenblatt said yesterday that Parenthood's third season will be 16 episodes and it's possible they will run almost sequentially. From the link:
Quote:
There could be a scenario where "Parenthood" runs all 16 episodes almost sequentially, which is a benefit to "Parenthood." We saw as we ramped up through the finale in May, it grew, grew, grew. Then when "Parenthood" is done, we'll probably have 10 or 12 weeks of the season left where we could put a show like "Awake."
To run almost sequentially Parenthood would likely need to take a break from new episodes for a couple months.
It's good that the number of episodes are lowered - smaller number of episodes = less filler. But if they do stop new episodes for a couple/few of months the show is going to become forgotten, IMO. NBC does this a lot it seems.
I absolutely love this show so far, not sure if I love it enough to add it to my collection but it is a very solid show. Excellent cast, great writing and enough jokes to have me laughing for a good part of every episode. Had been missing Monica Potter and Lauren Graham, this definitely helps.
