Ill tell you who: the Bravermans.

Often in a montage, often to an indie-rock soundtrack that fades into the end credits.

Look and learn, people.

Empty calories be damned, say the Bravermans.

When you live in wine country, make the most of it.

Angry arm gestures, raised voices and sarcastic under-your-breath insults to family members are the bread and butter ofParenthood.

All the arguments the Bravermans have are just another way of them all expressing their love for one another.

After all, if they didnt care, they wouldnt expend all that energy shouting.

Another method the clan has of expressing their love for each other is by saying it.

Dont agree to a round of the drink any time someones wearing plaidParenthoodgame unless youve got a hollow leg.

A couple of seasons later he was buying an Airstream at least.

Who knows, perhaps the Bravermans have found a lucrative way to monetise talking over one another?

The Bravermans arent shy about nepotism when it comes to dishing out jobs.

Even Adam and Crosby are business partners now.

When unemployment strikes, just hit up a sibling.

Unless theyre a relative (see above).

This isntGame Of Thrones.

And Amber did her boss, politician Bob Little, on the day she was promoted to his assistant.

The gestational period of a Braverman baby is exactly one summer hiatus.

Oddly, none of them are offended and everyone joins in giving her a hardy round of applause.

Zeek even plays himself.

Bonus marks for the ukulele accompaniment.

NB: Does not work if you are a deadbeat alcoholic, drug addict in a tacky rock band.

Bravermans, we salute you.
