Parenthood is an American comedy-drama television 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).

Series background and premiere

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 NBC on September 23, 2009. However, on July 10, 2009, it was announced that Parenthood would be pushed back to midseason, because of actress Maura Tierney's breast cancer.[2][3] The show was replaced by Mercy, a medical drama, 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[citation needed] on the set of Parenthood in April 2009, while filming the pilot in the San Francisco Bay Area, California.

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