karen z,

I was aware that the timing for Parenthood makes it difficult for the producers and writers to do multi-season arcs because they do not know whether they will be picked up for the next season. While the show is not a ratings blockbuster, it does draw big numbers in the demographic that the advertisers are seeking, and it is also critically well received, which is a feather in NBC's cap. They are pretty much a lock for another year, but I do understand from a business standpoint how they cannot operate on that assumption without a commitment from the network.

Hopeful

ps - I am too busy keeping up with current stuff to go looking ahead! Thanks for the spoiler alerts, though.
