To no surprise, FOX has cancelled Dads, their low-rated freshman sitcom. The comedy ran for 18 episodes, from September 2013 until February 2014.
Dads revolves around two successful video game developers (Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi) whose lives are turned upside down when their fathers (Martin Mull and Peter Riegeret) move in. The rest of the cast includes Brenda Song, Tonita Castro, and Vanessa Lachey.
Despite largely negative reviews, Dads started out strong in the ratings with a 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.76 million total viewers. Those positive numbers didn’t last however and the ratings dropped more than 30% in week two — and they kept falling.
There won’t be a second season but at least all of the episodes were broadcast. The same can’t be said for Enlisted, another FOX comedy that has also been cancelled.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Dads has been dropped? Do you think it should have been given a second season?
Love!Love!Love! this show. I am so unhappy about this decision. I would like to buy the Season 1, so I can watch it over and over again.
I am SO disappointed. I LOVED this show.. I especially wanted to see if Eli ever stood up for himself with Veronica… So sad.. If they weren’t going to keep the show on, they shouldn’t have ended the first season with that cliff-hanger..
Loved this show. It really made me laugh. It should not have been cancelled. I will miss it
FOX doesn’t give us shows to the people. they put shows just for profit without advertising.i know they want to get payed(who doesn’t) but taking dads off air is a big mistake cause it wasn’t just funny it was smart a lot of people loved it an i see a lot of people relating to this comedy
well pissed off loved this show. fox needs to stop being money grabbing ******** and put entertaining shows like dads on tv instead of eyeballing ratings
I really liked this show!
Loved this show! Thought it was funny as hell. When I smoked, I thought it wad even funnier! I am truly disappointed in their decision.
I too am disappointed, I truly enjoyed the show!
Well that’s too bad, i really liked this show, and yes it should have been given a second chance, it was funny AND I AM DISAPPOINTED§§
I’m so disappointed to hear this show got cancelled, it was one of my favorite shows!!! Not to mention hilarious, every episode had me laughing so hard. Plus Brenda song and Vanessa Lachey are gorgeous…I am extremely disappointed there will not be a 2nd season, I was really looking forward to one!
This show should have not been cancelled. If you don’t like it then don’t watch it, there’s actually people who enjoyed this comedy. Therfore there should be a second season and FOX should try to advertise their shows so their ratings can increase.
Yup this show should not have been canceled. It was targeted from day one by the critics and Fox has no balls and just followed along with the critics. Everyone I talked to loved the show and found it super funny, as did I. Im not easily moved by comedy on tv but this show had me laughing every episode. Too bad the good shows always get caned. Why dont they kill the crap thats currently on tv. Fox needs to rethink this cancellation.
This show was funny as hell. Fox needs to pull their heads out and stop renewing the crap shows and get this show back on the air. This was a show that guaranteed laughs. The critics killed this show before it even got a chance to fly. Pretty sad when a group dictate what we get to watch on tv.
This show was/is absolute garbage. Not funny at all. The only reason it was given the green light in the first place is because of Seth MacFarlane. I’m pleasantly surprised Fox is dumping it.
They should of renewed this show. Its funny in a way were you know they dont take the show seriously.
