On tonight's episode of the NBC drama PARENTHOOD entitled, 'Missing', Kristina (Monica Potter) and Adam (Peter Krause) become overwhelmed with their work schedules and put Max's (Max Burkholder) well being in danger. Also, Kristina offers Amber (Mae Whitman) a new opportunity, and Crosby (Dax Shepard) and Jasmine (Joy Bryant) struggle to deal with their complicated relationship. Meanwhile, Julia (Erika Christensen) tries to keep her distance from Zoe; Sarah (Lauren Graham) and Mark (guest-star Jason Ritter) think deeper into their future. Also starring: Sarah Ramos, Miles Heizer, Craig T. Nelson, Bonnie Bedelia, Savannah Paige Rae, Sam Jaegar and Tyree Brown.

PARENTHOOD is a one-hour drama inspired by the box-office hit of the same name. This re-imagined and updated Universal Television/Imagine Television production follows the trials and tribulations of the very large, very colorful and imperfect Braverman family.

Sarah Braverman (Lauren Graham, "Gilmore Girls") is a financially strapped single mother trying to raise two teenaged kids, the bright but rebellious Amber (Mae Whitman, "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World") and sullen and sensitive Drew (Miles Heizer, "ER").

On the home front, Sarah and her kids live with Sarah's larger-than-life, headstrong father, Zeek (Craig T. Nelson, "Family Stone," "Coach"), and pillar-of-strength mother Camille, (Bonnie Bedelia, "Heart Like a Wheel"), who are continuously dealing with their own marital issues.

Meanwhile, Sarah's sister and complete antithesis, Julia (Erika Christensen, "Traffic") is a successful corporate attorney trying to juggle work and motherhood, alongside her loving, but increasingly restless stay-at-home husband, Joel (Sam Jaeger, "Eli Stone".) Having encountered difficulties getting pregnant, Julia and Joel enter into the complex world of adoption in an attempt to grow their family.

Commitment-phobe Crosby (Dax Shepard, "Baby Mama"), Sarah's younger brother, is helping raise a son he had out-of-wedlock with former flame Jasmine (Joy Bryant "Antwone Fisher").

However, it's Adam (Peter Krause, "Six Feet Under"), the oldest Braverman sibling, who has had to relinquish his expectations about what constitutes a "normal" family as he, his quietly forceful wife, Kristina (Monica Potter, "Trust Me") and independent-minded teenage daughter, Haddie (Sarah Ramos, "American Dreams"), struggle to cope with their eccentric son and Haddie's little brother, Max (Max Burkholder, "Brother & Sisters"), who has Asperger's Syndrome. Adam's life gets even more complicated as he and Kristina discover they are unexpectedly expecting a third child

Although each sibling and family has its own share of life and everyday challenges to grapple with, they still manage to be there for each other in their hours of need.

PARENTHOOD airs Tuesdays at 10:00 pm/et on the NBC network.
