Parenthood is an American television comedy-drama series based on the 1989 film of the same title. It is also the second television series based on that film (the previous series aired during the 1990–1991 television season).

The series premiered on March 2, 2010 at 10:00 p.m. on NBC, following The Biggest Loser.[1] It was originally scheduled to premiere on September 23, 2009, on NBC. However, on July 10, 2009, it was announced that Parenthood would be pushed back to midseason, due to actress Maura Tierney's breast cancer.[2][3] The show was replaced by Mercy on the fall 2009 schedule.

Subsequently, on September 10, 2009, a spokesperson for Tierney announced that she was leaving the show due to conflicts with her treatment schedule.[4] On October 9, 2009, it was announced that Lauren Graham would replace Tierney in the upcoming series.[5]

Parenthood was expected to premiere March 1, 2010, and air on Monday nights at 9:00 p.m. However, after the cancellation of The Jay Leno Show, NBC moved the premiere to March 2, 2010, at 10:00 p.m.

The series premiere of Parenthood was dedicated to the memory of Nora O’Brien, an executive at NBC who died on the set of Parenthood in April 2009, while filming the pilot in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The series pilot was filmed in Northern California, using local crews, while the rest of the series will be filmed in Los Angeles.[citation needed]
