Parenthood Turns 10: The Episodes to Rewatch If You Need a Good Cry

May God bless and keep you always… and may you always have some Kleenex nearby when watching Parenthood.

Throughout its six-season run, the NBC dramedy — which aired its first episode on this day 10 years ago — established itself as one of TV’s most tear-jerking series of all time. Brought to life by an ensemble led by Lauren Graham, Peter Krause, Dax Shepard and Erika Christensen, the Braverman family experienced all kinds of challenges across six years, including breast cancer, autism, teen pregnancy, infidelity and dozens more.
