    The Highlight of My Day!
    During a recent rewatch of the show, I was curious if anyone had done a rewatch podcast and stumbled upon Parenthood Pals. What a freaking delight. Now, I look forward to their thoughtful insights to the storylines and their infectious laughter every day. Being a Bay Area native, the “Would this happen in Berkeley?” bit killed me. Thank you, Caleb and Melissa!

    Love listening to Parenthood Pals
    I had been meaning to start Parenthood after the show was recommended to me if a Facebook post asking for suggestions that are similar to This Is Us & A Million Little Things & got a comment mentioning the podcast, started listening after I finished the first season & I’ve loved Melissa & Caleb’s insights on the show & their fun chemistry. I will definitely be hoping for another podcast from them after they finish Parenthood but am excited for the rest of the journey

    Worth a rewatch just to listen to this podcast!
    Caleb and Melissa have created such a well thought out and interesting podcast about the TV show Parenthood. I am on my first watch, and I look forward to listening to their episode breakdowns as much as I enjoying watching the show. Their guests are interesting and bring a new perspective to a theme within the show and both hosts include them in their everyday banter in such a positive 1-2 hours. I also love the background research Caleb does for each episode. Both hosts are interesting and reflective, and I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy each podcast.

    So happy I found this podcast!
    I’ve been obsessively rewatching Parenthood again and was so happy to find this podcast! Melissa and Caleb are very knowledgeable and provide opinions on the show that I never thought about. They are also funny and have great guests that add a lot to the discussion! Highly recommend this podcast!

    Thankful for this podcast
    I really enjoy listening to Melissa and Caleb recount parenthood episodes. They do such a great job dissecting scenes and story lines, spending just the right amount of time on each. Their range of professional background in writing and performance while maintaining a casual friendly feel is what makes them a success. I feel at home, like I’m talking with friends or family. PS - This comment originally had too many “I” statements, so I corrected. Lol grateful for you two! Love the jingle Caleb!

    Love pod but you’re too easy on Joel
    Joel is no saint - he’s like a wall and doesn’t seem to care what she’s saying - he’s also quite dull possible hot take - Julia and Joel are dull together

    So glad I found this podcast
    I love to listen to rewatch podcasts while I work, so this is perfect! Parenthood is one of my favorite shows. I was really hoping to find a rewatch podcast for it and I’m so glad I stumbled upon this one! I love that Melissa and Caleb take time and go in-depth on each episode. They have some interesting perspectives and great commentary. I am sad to see there haven’t been more people to rate and review. I hope they continue to grow and get the recognition they deserve.

    Trying to like this
    Parenthood is my favorite show ever, so I want to love this. I'm only just starting the first episode but the stupid woke race nonsense is already annoying. It's about a family, of course they will all be the same race. Not to mention the fact that Crosby has a kid and marries a black woman. Hoping this idiotic attempt at bringing racism into this perfectly wholesome show does not come up again. Pushing through the first episode with high hopes.

    Great Insights!
    I watched Parenthood when it was on, and now this podcast has me binge watching it again. I love Melissa and Caleb’s insights into the show. It’s making me look at things in a different way. Also love the guests! Some hilarious discussions.

    Great insight!
    I just started rewatching Parenthood and have thoroughly enjoyed Caleb and Melissa joining me for the ride. Their tales are insightful and truly thought-provoking. It has made me look at many of the characters and situations in new ways. Keep up the great work!

    Highly recommend this podcast!!!
    I rewatched this show during quarantine and it has always been a show that has brought me so much joy and I decided to check if there was a podcast for it. I absolutely love this podcast and Melissa and Caleb!!! I have listened to many podcasts and this is the only one that I have actually been able to stick with. This helps my hour commute to work soo much, that I find myself even listening to it during work! I highly recommend this podcast if you enjoy Parenthood!!!! Melissa and Caleb have the best chemistry and insights and I feel like I am part of a community listening to it! Thank you so much!!!!

    Comfort Listen
    I wasn’t a huge Parenthood fan when it was on TV, but I could listen to this podcast all day! It’s sweet, funny, and light without being shallow.

    Amazing
    I’m so appreciative of Melissa and Caleb and their elite media viewership. I’m praying for their happinesses.
  • Rewatch podcast fan
    Funny, sweet, and comforting
    I love rewatch podcasts, especially the ones where the hosts have great chemistry and the objective is to analyze and reflect on the episodes, not just summarize them. (I've already seen the show; I don't need a beat-by-beat summary of it!) Gilmore Guys was like this, but I hadn't found another rewatch podcast I enjoyed as much until now. Parenthood Pals is really funny and sweet, like the show itself, and it is bringing me a lot of comfort in this difficult time.

    Fun, encouraging and hopeful
    Parenthood was such a wonderful TV show. I watched the whole series and am so excited to find other fans. Melissa and Caleb are delightful. They share such earnest insight and commentary on the characters lives. It’s fun to go along the parenthood ride again with two fun guides.

    Great podcast.
    I was never into Parenthood. This podcast started me down the path of binge watching the show.

    Fun, Heartwarming, and Thoughtful
    I loved this show back when it was on TV, and I'd heard through friends of friends that there was a rewatch podcast of it. It just began, but I'm already looking forward to going through the whole series again. The hosts are just regular people, but seem sweet and smart and obviously have a nice chemistry with each other. And they don't just recap the episodes but discuss the plot points and their opinions on them and how they relate to their own lives. I often find myself chiming in as if I'm part of the conversation too. If anything, I think they sometimes go TOO much in depth, haha, but it's great to listen to while working around the house or driving. I forgot how much I liked Parenthood, it's a good time to revisit such a sweet show.
