Parenthood Week - Day 2: Favorite non Braverman(s) (Spouses/ Guest Stars etc). Mark Cyr, “I’m really glad I knew you”. I was rooting for him and Sarah so hard.

There are so many good options here. I also really liked Hank Rizzoli (except for the ‘fighting over Sarah with Mark’ arc), and Jasmine Trussell, and Joel Graham.. aww, now I miss them :(

“Early on in season one, we all had a swimming scene, … and at the end of a really long shooting day, our main producer-director, Larry Trilling, got on the high dive in all his clothes and jumped off into the pool. It was a very symbolic gesture that said, ‘If we’re lucky enough to go seven years, this is going to be a joy-filled seven years.’ From the top down, it told us that we’re all going to have a lot of fun doing this job, which has held true.” - Dax Shepard

Good things come to those who wait.. like this Parenthood panel from last June's ATX TV festival that has finally been uploaded to Youtube! The 18-minute video features Jason Katims, EP David Hudgins, Lauren Graham, Peter Krause and Ray Romano.

"I have been excited because we have been planning to end our show by shooting the final sequence in San Francisco. It would be the first time we've been able to shoot up north since the pilot. We've talked about going there for six seasons, but schedule and budget have always made it impossible. This time, we have been planning for months — saving for months, to make it possible. Unfortunately, San Francisco is about to be hit with the biggest storm in 50 years on the exact day we are supposed to be shooting there.

Our San Francisco trip is canceled. We have no location in Los Angeles yet, and we shoot in two days. Cary assures me that we will find a great baseball field to shoot the sequence. We were going to be at a beautiful park in San Francisco, with unprecedented views of Golden Gate Bridge, the wharf and the city. That night, I am emailed location photos of baseball fields. Larry, our production designer Steven Jordan and I all separately have the same first choice. We have to move fast to secure the location — so the place we will shoot the final sequence of the show is decided by photos on an email. No scout. No van rides. No scout lunch.

The morning of the shoot, I let my GPS guide me to the field. It takes me across the street from Universal Studios, where we have been shooting the show for the past six years. We went from flying the entire cast and crew to San Francisco to shooting in our backyard.

(...) We are shooting now. I sit by the monitors and watch Larry Trilling craft beautiful shots like a true artist as our cast is on the field looking happy and carefree. Since there are no words being recorded, we have a soundtrack of feel-good Braverman-esque songs playing, one after the other, and I sit back and watch and tear up and think this is perfect. This is exactly where we should be shooting this scene. This is exactly where we should all be."

Scott Porter on a scene that got cut from the finale: "There's a scene where they meet. [My character] Peter and his daughter are at what amounts to a Kidtown, like an indoor jungle gym playtime place. Peter has his daughter and Amber has Zeek. Zeek gets lost in the ball pit and Peter goes bravely in to save him and brings him back to Amber."

Parenthood - A Surprise Visit from Seth (Deleted Scene)

[bravermanfan]

"We had this scene where Seth comes back and has a moment with his grandson, and you can tell he’s really going to try to be there for him. And in that same scene, he acknowledges Sarah getting married and moving on. It was a really nice moment, and it was painful to cut it." -Jason Katims

Writer Sarah Watson said she’s most excited for fans to see “the very last shot” of the episode, adding that the writers “figured out what the actual last image would be very early on.” And while Watson can’t yet know how viewers will respond to the final episode, she says she’s very pleased with the show’s conclusion. “As a writer, it felt like such a gift to drive toward something and not have to feel like you’re dangling some threads and tying other ones up,” she said. “It felt like a beautiful, perfect ending.”

Via TVLine (spoilers!). Watch the finale 10/9C, NBC.

"The first moments where I got excited about the potential of this show beyond what I thought it could be, I was in the editing room watching one of the early episodes—maybe the second, or third, or fourth—and I remember this feeling of getting really sucked into a scene and compelled by that story and then coming to a completely different storyline in another family unit that had nothing to do with the one before it and I was like, ‘oh yeah, those guys! What’s happening with those guys?’ I felt like right then I had the viewer experience of it. That was a very cool, surprising feeling, totally unexpected, but great.”
