I would like to touch a bit more on Tanner’s mom this week and tell you about a group that has been established in her honor. The name of the group is DebShred, and while some might find it an odd name, it was actually Debbie’s nickname.
There were many things I loved about Debbie, but one attribute in particular was her devotion to her family, friends, adventure, and being outside.
So, in her honor and in her memory Team DebShred was established as a means to openly promote a way of living that Deb enjoyed. The members of Team DebShred gather to participate in challenging outdoor events as a means of symbolism and to promote awareness of the hurdles faced by those dealing with brain tumors and other life challenging diseases… and to humbly remain aware of how lucky we all are in comparison.

No doubt you’ve seen ads for the new sitcom Parenthood on commercial breaks during the Olympics. Based on the 1989 film, Parenthood is about, uh, parenting. But is it good? Apparently not. PopMatters didn’t seem too impressed, scoring it a dismal 3/10.
Even though Parenthood‘s parents are all making completely misguided choices, the series doesn’t consider these as a means to education, through which the adults might reach that kind of self-awareness. That lack of consideration is the series’ most unfortunate waste of a promising storyline, one that could have imbued this second version with something refreshing or even revelatory.
Other critics are mixed, but the general feeling is lukewarm (though much better than how people feel about The Marriage Ref). Oh well, guess we’ll just keep DVRing Modern Family then.
