Does Scott’s plan work in the first season of the Council of Dads TV show on NBC? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Council of Dads is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the first season episodes of Council of Dads here. *Status update below.
An NBC family drama, 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. Scott Perry (Scott) is a loving father of five who 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.

The best show with so many morals and values
Please renew for another season!!!!!
I really like the show. I anticipate it will be cancelled before it is given a chance like so many of the new shows. I hope I am wrong- Bluff City Law was cancelled without closure which leaves the viewers frustrated. This show touches many issues of everyday life in society today; Alcoholism with the perils of recovery, mixed/adopted families, struggles of losing a spouse along with parenting children also suffering a loss, sexuality(yes it does occur at a young age) and family/friends secrets.
I hope you are wrong as I love this show too!
Melanie, I hope this show is renewed. It is my favorite this season.
Just watched council of dads. I totally loved it. Please renew it!
I really like Council Of Dad’s. Great actor’s. Looking forward to watching more episodes. Please give this show a chance!
I think this show should be renewed it was so good my husband & I both liked it.
I was very surprised to see so much happen in one episode. The father’s cancer diagnosis and then dying, the little girl who prefers to be a little boy, the daughter getting married three months after meeting her boyfriend, the mother having a baby. There was too much crammed into one episode and why do these story lines always have to include a young child preferring to be the opposite gender? I have a feeling it’s going to turn into another A Million Little Things which I already got tired of and stopped watching.
Council of Dads is so good love this. It has the making of a Awesome show. It really connects to life in all the avenues life takes you with all the roller coaster ups and downs, its shows you hope in heartbreak, end of life blooms new memories to make. Please keep this Council of Dads.
Love this show, I can’t wait until the next episode
I loved this new show! It made me cry! Will be watching it for sure!
is there some reason that tom everett scott always seems to die either in the first episode or before the first season ends in almost everything he does? i think it would be a better show if it tracked his/the family struggle , not to mention trying /talking to the “council ” in trying to get them to accept……it was ok at best, i men come on, first cancer, he “beats” it, comes home, wife’s pregnant, has baby, cancer come back, he dies,”council” get letters, accept daughter gets married all in 1 episode, far fetched to say the least…i also… Read more »
