Date My Dad

Me and my daughter just finished watching this and it was awesome. I was sad that it only had one season though. It was funny, sweet, touching, and great acting.

I started watching this show because of the great actors and I love family dramodies, and then this one surprised me. It has been very educational and helpful to watch for advise for friends and families who have lost a loved one. A very dear friend of mine past away last month and this show has helped me be a better friend of the family, so I can be a better friend in need to her young daughter and entire family. It is lighthearted, full of love and joy, but also very honest and real. Great show! I wish there was another season - I can use all the help and enjoyment I can get - this show was all that.

Being a Barry Watson fan since 7th Heaven I was really excited when I found out he was starring in a new series.

This show is all about family, in this case a widower with 3 young girls to raise. Ricky Cooper is very lucky to have a great support network including his mother-in-law played by Raquel Welch.

UPtv Channel does get family and this show is an excellent example of their 'feel good' lineup. These days we really need more of this type of programming.

All the episodes are enjoyable however the 7th episode is especially meaningful.

This show has a lot of heart and a genuine goal to bring the concept of family television back to the forefront. In a society where content is more designed to cater to niche audiences 'Date My Dad' reminds us what family TV is all about. Each episode deals with a relevant topic but does so in a way that doesn't 'talk down' to the younger viewer while at the same time displaying respect for the parent figures. In one particular episode the topic of bullying is addressed from two different aspects.

'Date My Dad' is easy to follow and focuses more on the overall message of each episode instead of forced laughs. The show has funny moments for sure but the best part of the show is its simplicity in delivery and the warmth and heart which shines through so brilliantly.

Admittedly Berry was the draw for me. I'm currently binge watching after it initially stalled out for me. But now I must admit each new episode is getting better. It still needs some bunching up. I feel it needs to be a bit quicker, script wise. But the additional guest stars are amazing. I mean Robert Wagner! Brilliant. But above that the content is now hitting home. Each episode includes a real life lesson whether your a single parent or not. Some bring me to tears.

Just a bit more speed in the script and I believe you'll have a winner on your hands.
