The season finale aired in 2015 and honestly, we're still having withdrawals. The Bravermans will forever be one of our favorite fictional TV families, and the actors who portrayed them hold a special place in our hearts.

And while we may think of seasoned professionals like Lauren Graham, Peter Krause, and Mae Whitman as Bravermans for the rest of eternity, they were in the spotlight and walked the red carpet years before we watched them all together on NBC.
