''Parenthood'' is an American comedy-drama series based on the 1989 film of the same name. Executive produced by Ron Howard (who also directed the film), the series aired for one season on NBC. ''Parenthood'' was one of many failed movie-to-TV adaptations in the 1990-91 season, also including ''Baby Talk'' (a follow up to ''Look Who's Talking''), ''Ferris Bueller'' and ''Uncle Buck''.〔Carter, Bill. 〕 ==Synopsis== The series delivered seriocomic vignettes on rearing children, revolving around four generations of a middle-class California (the movie however, took place in St. Louis, Missouri) family, the Buckmans. The Huffners of the film were renamed the Merricks on the TV series. The pilot episode was considered by ''USA Today'' and ''New York Post'' as the best movie-to-TV spinoff since ''M *A *S *H''.〔Bianculli, David. "One Big Happy Family," ''New York Post'', August 20, 1990.〕〔Collins, Monica. ""Parenthood," Fun for Kids of All Ages," ''USA Today'', August 20, 1990.〕 However, ratings for the series were low and ''Parenthood'' was canceled after 12 episodes. The series is notable for featuring a number of people who at the time were unheard of but later became famous. One of the writers on the show was Joss Whedon. The cast featured Leonardo DiCaprio, David Arquette, and Thora Birch (billed simply as "Thora" here). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parenthood (1990 TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
