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?
Dads was the best friggin thing on fox and they should go to tbs who understands comedy and good shows!!!!!!
FOX SUCKS. THIS SHOW WAS HILARIOUS!! HAD FOX PUT MORE TIME AND PROMOTION INTO DADS, THEY MIGHT STILL BE ON TV. ITS SAD. SETH MACFARLANE SHOULD TAKE DADS TO TBS. THEY SEEM TO UNDERSTAND FUNNY TELEVISION. FOX JUST DOESNT GET IT.
What???? No 2 season, I loved this show.
I can’t believe people did not find that show historical , the episode when the doctor dies with his finger you know where may me pee my pants, I am bummed out and can not believe it was cancelled
Yeeeeeaaahhhh that moment was so ******* hilarious. …
I peed too still think it was the funniest thing ever.
So disappointed!! This show was hilarious!! I so looked forward to it every week. Another funny one bites the dust! Shame on you!
I started crying when I just found out that dad’s is cancelled I’m so sad I loved this I bought them all on Amazon iTunes and Google play now I’m sad
I LOVED Dads! Someone please bring this show back!!!!
When are these stations going to stop canceling shows that are actually good and replacing them with crap or reality tv shows? This show was hilarious and I am so sick of this! Enough with the reality shows already and give us back shows that make us actually watch your stations!!!
So typical, finally found a new funny sitcom which I loved and it gets cancelled
And friggin Glee keeps going
I loved dads, it was an amazing show I think it deserved a second season…it kept me laughing and looking forward to every episode.
F**k you Fox! Dads is hilarious!
Agreed!
Dang! When I saw the previews for this I thought it looked great, but being that I’m not a big tv watcher, I forgot about it for a while. As soon as I remembered, I watched season one online. I personally loved it and really wish it wouldn’t have been cancelled. 🙁
i need season 2
OMG I am distraught, I love this show!!!!!
