This show is hilarious! I am so happy I watched the pilot and I haven't missed an episode since. Great cast! At first they kind of over-acted, but it seems more natural now. Really funny obvious plots that I can't help but laugh out loud. Love seeing Tempestt Bledsoe grown up. She is still such a great actress. Anthony Anderson is always funny too. And I haven't seen Jesse Bradford in such a good role since I was a kid watching Bring It On and Clockstoppers. Definitely watch the first episode and fall in love because the rating on here is way too low. Even though I don't have time to watch TV when it airs I love seeing Guys With Kids on my Hulu queue Thursdays. Another great thing is that the show is filmed in front of a live studio audience which is not something we see too often anymore. But you will literally laugh right along with the audience. The couples fit together so well on the show and the kids are all adorable and play their roles really well. Must see!
I'm not a big fan of TV comedy these days, as most of them desperately and relentlessly reach for the gutter for their "comedy". Not that I'm easily offended - I can appreciate an occasional, well justified and thought out piece of raunchiness as anybody. But to be in the gutter the majority of the time like a bunch of high school boys? Is this why the average rating here is just 5/10? Not enough raunchiness for people?
This show is refreshing because it's good non-gutter comedy. These 30-ish dads haven't given up their fun improvisational attitudes toward life yet, and find themselves getting into classic comic not-so-smart undertakings that backfire, getting in trouble either with their wives or with one of the other guys. And there's warm and fuzzy make-up moments when the characters manage to rise to maturity in the face of being proved stupid.
So far, the show has gotten me to laugh out loud at least once per episode, and that's rare for me; even when the comedy is good, I don't usually do more than smile.
update 12/08/2012: The episodes since I wrote this a month ago have been somewhat lame. One show was spoiled by too much focus on the bitchy ex-wife (I suppose some people would like that). Overall, the show is losing the focus on the guys as described above.

I think NBC is finally getting back to their old "Must See TV" roots! Between this show and Matthew Perry's Go On, you have filled a void long over due! The emptiness from the loss of Friends has been somewhat fulfilled by this "parents-now" version of Friends-like show! Jimmy Fallon is genius and every time my husband and I watch it there is a scene we can identify with or... It sends us down memory lane when we ourselves as parents were in the same situation! Please, please, please, keep this one around for us 30-something's who don't want to watch the filth, crime scene, or just plain ridiculous other sitcoms and dramas on prime time!
I ran across this old comedy on my firestick. I had no idea this show existed. I can't believe it. Very funny. So sorry it was only one season. To be a cast of mostly less known actors, it is so worth watching. I regret that the most wholesome comedies somehow get cancelled while the raunchy stuff runs for too many seasons. I'm very glad I found this show. I look forward to watching it over and over because their are no good comedies these days. Love the fact that the cast is biracial and they have a wonderful chemistry. The friendships seem very genuine and not forced at all. If you haven't watch it, you have missed a good laugh.
One of the best I've seen... Don't know why it was stopped... Would really like to see more....
OK, it didn't get me in the first few episodes... But by the 7th, I was hooked...
Great acting, Great story and genuinely funny, and the babies are amazing and very cute...
There are really few shows which have got me really interested, and this is one of them...
Please, Producers, bring this baaaackkk!!!!!
A very high rating from me....
