Go watch Parenthood on Netflix instead...

I like the show. I enjoyed the 2nd episode even better than the first.

I'll keep watching.

But it's no where as good.

It just isn't.

It's post pilot green lighted material via wealthy television executives who think US is US.

It's not:

Does anyone here drive $100,000 + car?
Is anyone here the star of a television series?

2 of the 4 characters are ultra rich...so it's not actually really "US".

It's just pretend and then pretend TV.

Surprised to see ratings for "This is Us" doing much better than "Parenthood" ever did even 6 years ago.

A shame.

Not sure if you are a troll or being serious, but I think you might want to know that This Is Us refers to the group of people highlighted that have a connection to each other. It is not supposed to reflect YOU. 

Yeah, that's why you should ask them before you knock them out, John.

They sound like a troll to me, I love when people try to dictate what someone should or shouldn't what and what show is better.

I'm a huge Parenthood fan but that shows first season was NOT good. This show is off to a better start.
