finally a TV, Drama Series which depicts the importance of the Father and his role and his importance in the family. How fathers leave a lasting legacy on their children. This is Us is a TV show everyone should be watching. If you have cable, you can see it from the beginning as most have a free On Demand Channel.

Many Knights of Columbus members and Christians are watching this new TV Drama, check it out.

Seriously the best season of TV I’ve seen. 24 had a few up there, but this is so supremely written that it tops any others. I miss seeing it every week since the season finale.

Where do we see it?

Maybe it’s me but I can’t find a channel listed.

It’s an NBC show. I don’t see it on the schedule for the foreseeable future, but I imagine the first season will be rerun at some point.

[Mears]

Thank you.

I thought it was overrated.

Sappy and saccharine; I can see why chicks would like it.

Plot line was just silly.

Newsflash: When your baby dies at birth, the hospital doesn’t simply give you a replacement just because one becomes available.

I lost respect for Gerald McRaney.

Also, if you have cable TV, many offer free on demand for network shows.

I’ll wait and see if they add a gratuitous homosexual character next season before I invest any time in it.
This is network tv after all.

Thanks !

It is an utterly ridiculous show that has no basis in reality. It is a progressive fantasy of how they think the country should look like. Pure garbage that I’d never watch, although my wife does.

I stopped watching once they turned it into a homo-promo.

I just remembered they already did...Jack adopted an abandoned black baby when one of his triplets died at birth...as an adult, the adopted child found his biological father who was a former drug addict and a bi-sexual and had AIDS. At the time of the show, he had a male lover. The biological father died a few episodes later.

It’s still a great show...

Pure garbage that I’d never watch, although my wife does.

First...all I know about this show is what I've read in this thread.

I'm a guy....entirely hetero.Love war films,Mafia films,political documentaries,the NFL and the NHL among many other "guy" things.

I also like some (but not many) so called "chick flicks".

My point:just because your wife watches it does that automatically mean you won't? If this show depicts a normal,decent,respectable husband and wife,mother and father it seems that that puts it far ahead of shows which feature every kid as "transgendered".

Yes,Leave It To Beaver was a bit "dull" but it most certainly wasn't scandalous as is so much of what we see on TV today.

Just sayin'....

This show does so many flashbacks, no one really dies from the show.

[american colleen]

I thought I would die of boredom .

I dunno, I am probably an awful person but I think the show is so fake and boring!!

I did however watch the entire season on demand after work. (I work nights and it helped me fall asleep).

Shows like this make me wish I had cable.
