Dads

You take two nearly 40-something year-old men-Who acts like kids, and their two dads-who just moved in to live with them. Sounds strange, Huh? Well, this gets more complex because this show has 2 really fine-looking ladies who also lives with them(Vanessa Lachey & Brenda Song). But they're here for the support.

Now here's the story; Seth Green(Chris from "Family Guy") plays a guy who runs an architect firm, and his dad played by Martin Mull; And Giovanni Ribisi ("Ted") plays a businessman whose father happens to be played by Peter Reigert.

Anyway... The show comes from Seth McFarlane, and apparently he needs to stick with making prime-time cartoons. "Dads" is going nowhere but down to the ground.

First let me say that I am a huge fan of Macfarlane's Family Guy. Maybe I am a bit tainted but frankly I think that I would like to give this show a bit of a lead and watch a few more episodes. It is obvious that many of the bad reviews posted were the result of the pilot episode. I watched that episode as well and was more than a bit underwhelmed. However, I just finished watching episode 5 and am having a hard time coming down! That episode was hysterical!. I didn't have the opportunity to watch episodes 2 thru 4 thinking I wasn't missing much but now I will use my "On Demand" and get caught up in a hurry. The first thing that struck me was the announcement at the top of the show that it was filmed in front of a live audience. Secondly, MacFarlane's humor was quite evident. This episode could have easily been transposed to a very funny Family Guy moment! Perhaps Seth found it necessary to make his presence known a bit more? Perhaps not? But in any event, I do look forward to getting caught up. If only to see if episode 5 was a fluke!

Four men, all so funny in various individual roles, yet, somehow, not at all funny when collocated in one show. I could yak for hours about the talent of Giovani Ribisi and Seth Green.

What happened? It was not simply that the script was bad. It wasn't only the lack of reality in the relationships or even the premise. It was just bad.

There is a laugh track. For some reason, the laugh track commenced at the end of every line and every piece of business from every actor. But I only laughed once. When the lovely Asian-American assistant appeared in a special outfit.

I do not understand why the show felt so contrived and stilted, as though it were a stage play. The laugh track sounded like a track, not a live performance. I hope to see all these actors in different, better productions soon. This show filled me with sadness.

just a simple silly show that gives a laugh or two hope it is not canceled. no hidden message or agenda in this show take it as it is reminds me of how married with children was in the beginning. hope the show stays compared to what is out there it is good enough to stay on. with all he reality shows and junk on TV it is a relief for there to be some shows that are not politically correct.which to me is refreshing. yes the laugh tracks are a bit much but with all the simple minded people who tweet and believe everything online they need to be reminded when to laugh. so take the show as i is simple and enjoyable for 30 minutes. also martin mull really helps and the character Edna needs a little more lines.

I would have agreed with other reviews about how terrible this show is but I had to give it time. I LOVE Seth Green, Giovanni Ribisi, and Peter Riegert and refused to believe they could produce something so god awful.

While it isn't the best show out there, with each passing episode I can see the characters settling into themselves. I will say the Dads more so than the Sons as of now but the comedy IS getting better!

Seth Green's maid is definitely a show stealer. I'm impressed by the writers for never translating what she says in Spanish. It adds a special comedy for me since I am bilingual. I feel as of now the two strongest characters are Peter Reigert and the maid. Their relationship is hilarious!

I am also particularly impressed by Brenda Song. While most would discard her as a former Disney actress, her role in this show really speaks to her talents. Her character is a strong and smart, constantly keeping the boys in line and pretty much responsible for the continued success of the company.

Blame it on nostalgia if you must but I really want to see this show continue and develop into something greater.
