After the success of NBC’s This Is Us, the peacock seems to hoping that the new Council of Dads series will also be a hit in the ratings. Does this family drama have what it takes to survive? Will Council of Dads be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
Based on the book by Bruce Feiler, the Council of Dads TV show stars Sarah Wayne Callies, Clive Standen, J. August Richards, Blue Chapman, Emjay Anthony, Michele Weaver, Thalia Tran, Steven Silver, Michael O’Neill, and Tom Everett Scott. A loving father of five, Scott Perry (Scott) has his entire life’s plan thrown into upheaval by an unexpected health scare. He and his wife, Robin (Callies), call on a few of their most trusted friends to step in as back-up dads to help guide and support his growing family – just in case he can’t be there to do it himself. They include Scott’s most loyal friend, Anthony Lavelle (Standen); Scott’s tough-love AA sponsee, Larry Mills (O’Neill); and Doctor Oliver Post (Richards), Scott’s dedicated oncologist and his wife’s dearest friend. Scott’s kids include adult daughter Luly (Weaver), son Theo (Anthony), son JJ (Chapman), and adopted daughter Charlotte (Tran). Together, this group discovers that there’s more to being a father than anyone could do alone — and more to being a family than they ever thought possible.

Council of Dads is an amazing show. It shows strengths, struggles and lots of love with the whole family! Three dear friends step up an help with challenges, and life experiences for all family members and themselves. It is my favorite show, we need MORE TV shows like this one, to help families show life is hard but with love, it is good. Especially with families struggles in our society today!
This show is great. Please bring it back. Fell in love with the family. Realistic problems. Why cancel this when there are so many really bad shows on that no one wants to watch.
We watch tv through Hulu and Netflix so our viewing, as I assume many others also watch when ratings aren’t counted. Council of Dads is a wonderful show and although I read that it’s been cancelled, I hope someone changes their mind and brings it back. It’s so good that I will watch Season One again .
GREAT SHOW… CANNOT BELIEVE IT WAS CANCELLED….. I NOTICED IT WAS NOT PROMOTED ENOUGH…HOPE THEY RERUN EPISODES TO GET MORE FOLLOWERS..PROMOTION!!!

I’m so bummed just found this show and I love it. I don’t see how the ratings can be accurate. I never watch anything on the night it is on working swing shift I watch the following day. Please give it a chance to be found and enjoyed. It was very refreshing.
Best new show, please give it another year to prove itself. Very diverse and heart warming. We need more shows like this one. Characters are wonderful, story lines are awesome.

Why leave shows on that has constant cussing and show things that should be kept private in ones home?
COUNCIL OF DADS IS A GREAT SHOW. LOVED EVERY ONE OF THEM. MISSED THE FIRST THREE SO I WENT BACK AND WATCHED THEM ON STREAMING. THE STORYLINE COVERS ALL THE “NEW” FAMILY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY. I AM SO TIRED OF REALITY SHOWS, COP SHOWS AND VIOLENE – DON’T WE HAVE ENOUGH OF IT IN REAL LIFE. IT WAS WONDERFUL FOR THURSDAYS TO COME AND SOMETHING TO WATCH THAT WAS INTERESTING, GREAT STORY LINES, WELL WRITTEN AND SHOWING LOVE. THAT’S WHAT WE NEED NOW. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW. TRY ANOTHER YEAR SO THE PEOPLE CAN CATCH UP TO IT.… Read more »
