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 love this show as well as Giovanni Ribsi and Seth Green! The two actors complete each other in the hilarious tv show! It should certainly be given another season and more. I was always looking forward to the next showing because of the whole cast and their hysterical situations.
“Dads” was a great show. One show that my husband and I could actually watch together. “Dads” mad me laugh so hard at times I cried and couldn’t breathe. We were so looking forward to another season. I think FOX keeps getting rid of all there good shows and keeping the crappy ones. I don’t know why they go by rating for the night they are on. What about the people who dvr shows or people like me who don’t have cable and watch their favorite shows on Hulu? Please bring back “Dads”, it was a great show and a… Read more »
This was a really funny show what’s wrong with you idiots,put it back on.
Just like FOX to cancel yet another show that was funny. It is a real shame that any NETWORK only allows a show one chance, or a season’s worth any way. I know a lot of people who watched the shows they recently canceled and all are very disappointed. Not only are they canceling good shows but Christmas came 3 weeks early according to T.V. so what’s up with that? Actors & producers get a whole 6 weeks off because shows are put on hold until January. SHAME SHAME SHAME!
Such a funny show Please bring it back!
the sitcom is really funny and i would like to see a second season
I really liked it and I thought it was great!
Dad should be back on air Pronto that’s the only show that made me laugh and I like the cast I demand for it to be back on
I am sad to see it go. It’s refreshing crudeness made it my kind of unpretentious fun.
We all know some of those characters!
All this time I was waiting for the second season and they cancelled it wow you guys suck!!!

Dads needs to be put back on
Seriously? ??? Dads was canceled and Glee is on? Dude in FOX they must have bashed their heads. … Glee is suck and borrriiinnggg!!!! And yet the show still go on but you canceled Dads???? Dads is one of a hell funniest tv show ever, if FOX is to stupid to continue the series, then seth better sell it to another network and make it big there so FOX will eat their sh*t….
I love watching dads… I wonder why there’s no commercial about this series. Once I watch it and I just can’t get it out of my head. It’s so ridiculousy funny, I love new girl but I love Dads more…. it is a sitcom about family that I LOVE after The Cosby Show…. if they just promote this series just like what they did with New Girl, I belive the rating will be high. Don’t stop this tv series, I really waited for their second season and third and fourth and etc episode….
Oohhh and I forgot to tell you that I was shocked when I want to watch Dads but instead there’s Glee, and FYI it is a one bored movie, I just don’t like Glee at all
Dad’s was my ABSOLUTE favorite comedy!!! Both my parents loved it and so did my 4 brothers and a bunch of my extended family! Even when I was sick and depressed I would laugh at this show when nothing else cheered me up. It was like no other and should NOT have been cancelled. It wasn’t promoted enough by FOX and I usually like fox. I’ve owned a marketing company and I can tell you that this show had MAJOR potential for many seasons if they would’ve renewed it! Most of my 1700 friends and associates on Facebook didn’t know… Read more »
