Baseball season is upon us, so it seems fitting to note that NBC has finally brought us a prospect instead of a suspect.

Parenthood (Tuesdays at 10 p.m. – why program it opposite The Good Wife, which is still running strong?) has a good cast, a conventional but well-crafted set of storylines, and a family drama that looks like it could turn out to be entertaining and possibly engaging.

We’ll wait and see…
