NBC's Parenthood returns from its winter hiatus on Tuesday with an episode that's likely to bring tears to every parent's eyes.

In a clip from Tuesday's "Road Trip" episode exclusive to The Hollywood Reporter, Max (Max Burkholder) lashes out at his mother after Kristina (Monica Potter) turns off his video game after he ignores her repeated request to turn it off.

Lauren Graham is nothing more than a paid gang bang nymphomaniac

Lauren Graham is being paid money to date Perter Krause, her former customer

It is my belief and opinion that Lauren Graham is a bad influence and a wrong example for a public role model for anyone who believes in monogamy for any kind of relationships sexual or not.

I absolutely love this show, few shows bring back what it felt like growing up in a loving home. It's a show I record and enjoy. I grew up when the Waltons were popular a show that can bring families together is worth watching. I can't say enough how good this show is, but it's fabulous.

You are so correct! I love this show and hope that it has a long run on NBC.

This is my favorite show. What a great way to start the new year with a brand new episode. It's a shame they never were able to have a Christmas show. This show is nearing the end of it's season and the last episodes are the ones where situations really blow up. Betcha Crosby gets with Rachel. I can totally see that happening.

I LOOOOOVE This show. My TV sits in its corner unplugged and silent almost everyday of the year. But when Parenthood is on I can't wait to turn it on. If I miss an episode I look for it on line. I have no interest in wasting my money on cable TV, (though Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann are making that decsion hard for me to stand by), and I have just about completely given up on TV, (except for PBS). Parenthood is the only primetime show that I rush home to watch. I just hope that NBC is smart enough to keep the show going. Well written / well-acted primetime shows are extremely hard to come by nowadays.

I love Parenthood and the cast is terrific. I also love TV, I'm addicted but from what you listed I watch and can't wait until Bill Maher returns in mid January. Good taste you have :)

Max Burkholder is so convincing playing a child with Asperger's Syndrome that you forget that he's acting. He should be nominated for an Emmy for making this part so believable. The nomination committee overlooked him last time, they should not this time, same for the Golden Globe although they made their picks already. Let's make them aware of this by petitioning for his nomination come next fall.

Love this show. Watch it with my teen son. It starts conversations on important issues that parents should have with their kids. Plus, it doesn't make me look like the bad guy when the parents do something I've done or said.

I think this show is so well written and well acted; it is a joy to watch and know that astute writing and great acting still exists. The stories are real life and the characters the same. Bravo.

I agree. There aren't many shows worth watching on network TV but this one is.

I love your avatar..Even after 20 years after leaving Oklahoma for Washington state, I still miss the Cardinals in the winter. So cheerful and bright!

I completely agree. It's a great ensemble cast and the family dynamics, issues, and problems all feel very real. I especially like the actress who plays Kristina. Excellent show.

I concur. The actress who plays Kristina really should have been/should be nominated for an Emmy. She is SO believable.

As a mother of a child on the autism spectrum, I applaud this show for raising awareness of ASDs. However, just at the point this show starts to show what autism is truly like, they pull back to a happy ending. Often, that's simply not true. My son has done so much more than call me a bad name and throw a pillow at me. I realize they can't show what a true meltdown is, but they do tend to sugar coat it every time. I applaud Monica Potter, she does these scenes beautifully.

Just yesterday watched a rerun of Patch Adams and wondered what ever happened to Monica Potter. I always thought she looked kind of like a prettier, blonde Julia Roberts. I don't watch Parenthood, but glad to see that Monica has a good dramatic role.

...just what I was thinking.
Also, I think she was in a cute movie with Freddie Prinze Jr, as well as the rom-com "Im with Lucy." I enjoy her work.
