Seth MacFarlane has yet another new show on Fox tonight at 8p and this time it is a live action sitcom.
Dads will make you appreciate your own pops because he can’t be as bad as Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi’s fathers are on the show.
Warner (Ribisi) and Eli (Green) are best friends who own a video game company, and now they have a common problem. Both of their dads live with them and they debate who has the worst father. You will have to watch the show to see whose is worse, Eli’s (Peter Riegert) dad, David, or Warner’s (Martin Mull) dad, Crawford. I have watched the first two episode and they are equally the Worst Father’s of the Year, but luckily they have good sons that love them either way.
Yes Dads is controversial because it is a MacFarlane show, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have heart. It is those tender moments on this show that make it Fox’s best new comedy.
Which leads me into
Brooklyn Nine-Nine that debuts at 8:30p. I tried to like this show because I think Andre Braugher is a very talented actor, but after three viewings I hated it more and more each time. To me it is like The Office but at a police station. So for you people who are missing out on the NBC sitcom, you will probably like this show. But for people like me who tried but could never get into that show, than this is not the one for you.
Ray Halt (Braugher) is the new Captain of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and he wants to his detectives into shape. Something that is hard to do because they are not the greatest unit. His toughest cop will be Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg), who is great at his job, but crappy as an employee. Will Halt be able to whip him to shape? Of course not because what this show be without their tension?
I should mention this show is from two of the guys from Parks & Recreation, but it just doesn’t have that same feel that P&R has that makes it an Emmy nominated show. I can’t place the problem, so maybe you will be able to do it for me.
