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?
I think there was know reason to cancel the show
Fox screwed up everything when it came to the Carolinas, gave us crap news, an false hope of good shows an replaced them with the dumbest crap I’ve ever seen, I honistly don’t have any reason for this station anymore, I’m just going back to the CW, atleast they leave on the cool shows, I really loved Dads! that was just one of the shows that my wife and I looked forward to coming home curling up on the couch an enjoying, I served in the Army an thought Enlisted was a great crutch for my transaction back to suvilian… Read more »

They need to bring the show back. That show was way better then Brooklyn 99. In my opinion they should just keep it on and put up more commercials about it, then maybe more people would be interested in it or even hear about it. It was a hilarious show bring it back .
Dads is hilarious I’m from England and I think dads is a rare type of comedy that makes jokes out of things most shows wont dare to joke about and I think it should get given a second season, that and Eli is a genius character that shouldn’t be taken off tv
How is it stupid shows like the millers are still on but dads was cancelled? What the ****!!
it shouldn’t have been cancelled. a funny show during times that we can rarely see other shows proven to be hilarious as “dads”. should be given more seasons.
The episode where they had the prostate exam was halarious. This show defintely deserves a season two.
why in the hell would they delete such an awesome show. they need to pick this show back up. all I can say is HILARIOUS!!!!!
WTF? This show was one of the funniest shows on TV. Lately, all of the show that I love are being cancelled. Am I the strange one? What is wrong with the world? Shows like Chicago Fire make it and Dads doesn’t. Good grief!!!
This was one of the funniest shows out there. It really should have lasted a heck of a lot longer than just one season. Seth and Giovanni were super and hilarious. I would love to see it go all the way. Please, someone else pick it up!!!!
That’s sad.I really liked the show.
I loved the show I am going to miss it. Maybe they can sell it to another network.
Agreed..
Yes yes yes.. … another station should buy the series, it’s a brilliant idea…. screw fox
I really liked this show. I’m sadden by the cancellation. I think that it should be given a 2nd run. You have reality shows on that don’t have anything to promote but ignorance and but you cancel a show that most people can relate to about their parents. SO SAD!
