Maybe Parenthood should have toughed out more of its stories or left a couple of them dangling ambiguously. And the baby boomlet at the end, to which all branches of the family contribute, may strike viewers as a little too resounding a triumph of hope over experience.

Unfortunately the canoe weighed on the order of 200 pounds and was filled with another 500 pounds of water. Only the Incredible Hulk could have pulled that canoe to the side against the current...
