The Pearsons are just out there slicing ice cream like it’s cake. Jack is superman, Nicky always in need of rescuing. Pearson grows more awful by the day, and is especially tough on Nicky, and so Jack spends most of his childhood standing up for his mother and brother. Octo(11:58 p.m., if you want to be exact): Nicky Pearson is born.Īlmost immediately, Jack Pearson takes full responsibility for keeping his younger brother safe from life in general, and their angry, abusive dad (who wasn’t always that way!) specifically. Raise your hand if you downloaded William’s song “We Can Always Come Back to This” and listened to it on repeat. It is the first “almost” and “could’ve been” in a life full of them. He’s born with the gift of poetry, and eventually uses it to achieve minor success while in a cover band with his cousin Ricky. William Hill’s father dies overseas and leaves behind a pregnant war widow.īut not before singing the sweetest version of “You Are My Sunshine.” It’s obvious where Young William gets his musical talent. So he’s the dude who is to blame for all the crying. Jack Pearson’s grandfather arrives in New York City.Īs Kevin explains, the man has a son who has a son who has the Big Three. Know that investigation of facial hair length is a real and wonderful thing.Īdditions from the final season are noted with a ➽. I’ve added actual dates where I can, but for some of them, I had to make my best guess. I’ve recapped 106 episodes of this show, so I figure I might as well put all that Pearson knowledge to good use, sorting out all the major This Is Us moments chronologically.
Honestly, who has time to think about dates and what happened before that other thing when there is so much crying to be done?Īdmittedly, me. Keeping a timeline like that straight can feel like an overwhelming task. It was a saga that continually expanded, connected, and circled back through the past, present, and future until its very last episode. Over six seasons, NBC’s weepy family drama This Is Uspresented the multigenerational saga of the Pearsons, a family full of people with an affinity for emotional speeches and nice, long cries.
