Parenthood: Crosby, Jasmine, Jabbar related scoop on episode 4x04 "The Talk" from Zap2it's Carina Adly MacKenzie

Here's some scoop on Parenthood from Carina Adly MacKenzie's Monday Kickstart column for the week of 10/1/12.

"Parenthood": This season, we've been focused on Kristina's upcoming battle with breast cancer, but in this week's episode, our attention is diverted to Crosby's family a bit. When Jabbar is in the studio with his dad, he hears a rapper use the N-word, which prompts a refreshing, honest family dilemma as Crosby and Jasmine try to explain what the word means. It's a bit jarring to hear it used on a broadcast TV show, but the honest look at the issue and the beautifully written moments that the family share make it a story worth telling. (P.S., this is also "Friday Night Lights" star Matt Lauria's first episode... and he's great. Keep your ears peeled for a fun FNL reference.)
