I am not sure why so many people here are giving negative reviews of this show. I just happened to come across this program last fall while I was surfing channels looking for something to watch. It was the third week of the season and I stopped to watch.That is all it took and I was hooked!!! I have watched every episode, every week since that funny night and for the first two weeks I watched those On Demand! The storyline is usually believable and could happen in real life, but isn't probable unless you are an extremely unlucky person. Those four main actors and even their sidekicks make it so believable and funny! I have always enjoyed watching them on other shows and now they have pulled it together and added more characters to their posse and have developed a great sitcom! They are so funny and it is always fun to see what their next antics will be! I see that this program is on the hatchet list and will probably be done this season. I can only hope that FOX will reconsider and those of us who like it can convince those that are negative to watch it and give it another chance and they just might be surprised at how funny it really is! It is one of those shows that you can come home and watch and be able to tuck your troubles to the back of your mind and forget about them, at least for a few minutes. So if you haven't seen it, check it out and see what you think and if you have seen it, watch it again and see if there is something you missed, you just might be surprised! I am sure that at least one of those characters will bring a smile or two to your face! From my point of view I am not sure how they could miss! For myself and many others we will continue to watch and LOL!!!

Hands down, Dads is the best new show on TV. Compared to the likes of the campy Agents of Shield, the mindless (read: stupid) Dracula, inane comedies like 'Trophy Wife' (seriously, I already have a fav trophy wife - Gloria from Modern Family). Dads is as fresh as Family Guy and funnier than all the other comedies combined. Well, the Goldbergs are good, though!Anyways, it's good to see Fox finally taking some right decisions. They recently renewed Dads for a second season, even before less the half the first season finished airing! Of course, they had made a huge mistake by cancelling Family Guy, and had to eat their own words when they HAD to bring it back. They have finally learnt a lesson!I can see Dads running for several seasons, just like Family Guy does. And I see that the reviews here simply mirror those Family Guy received following its debut. To hell with the naysayers, we ain't quitting this show! Dads forever!

The show gets progressively better. Starting at episode 7 they are laugh out loud funny. If you only watch one here or there you probably won't like it. The actors are funny, jokes are spot on and there is at least one character for everyone's sense of humor. Give the show a chance. It is definitely worth watching for the long haul. Very funny show, despite the first few episodes starting off slow. Bottom line, If you like family guy, you will like this too. If not, you won't.

Need I say more? Martin Mull is a pure comic genius. Anyone one who remembers the old Fernwood 2 Nite and America 2 Nite shows knows this. He makes this show worth watching! and it is a pleasure to have him back in televisionI will give it the highest rating for this reason and this reason alone. Beware, Martin Mull's humor sometimes goes over the head of the average viewer but the writers keep it simple here. The characters are interesting enough to bounce off of Martin's humor. If they expand his role and give him a little more freedom, then the show can work. My only complaint is that the other dad should have been Fred Willard. What were they thinking? They would have had a number 1 hit on their hands.!
