AirTime – Parenthood

Welcome to ‘Air Time,’ a segment taking the ‘time’ to share coaster cameos and references that ‘aired’ in pop culture media.

In this installment we revisit the 1989 motion picture comedy ‘Parenthood.’ Steve Martin’s character prefers life to revolve safely like a merry-go-round, while his wife enjoys the thrill of a coaster. In this scene, ‘Grandma’ provides a metaphor explaining that parenthood is a roller coaster worth riding.
