FOX MOVES IN WITH “DADS” FOR A 22-EPISODE ORDER
Next All-New Episode Airs Tuesday, November 5, on FOX
FOX has picked up nine additional episodes of DADS, bringing the series to a 22-episode order, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.
“FOX has been looking to break into the multi-camera format for some time,” said Reilly. “With DADS, we have an asset that we can grow, and we’re looking forward to seeing where the fantastic cast and the creative minds of Seth, Alec, Mike and Wellesley take us the rest of the season.”
DADS ranks as one of the Top 10 new series among Men 18-34 and one of the Top 10 new comedies among Men 18-49 and Women 18-34. Across the first three telecasts for which Nielsen Live +7 data is available, DADS is averaging a 2.2/7 rating among Adults 18-49. In fact, in the first 30 days of its debut, the DADS premiere episode has already drawn more than 14.7 million views across Live, time-shifted DVR and Video on Demand viewing and streaming on Fox.com and Hulu.com.
In the next all-new episode, “Foul Play,” airing Tuesday, Nov. 5 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), Eli (Seth Green) and David (Peter Riegert) are forced to sleep at the Ghost Child Games offices when bedbugs overtake the loft. Meanwhile, Camila (Vanessa Lachey) gets the lead in a local theater production, and Crawford (Martin Mull) ends up being uncharacteristically helpful, much to the chagrin of Warner (Giovanni Ribisi).
DADS follows two successful guys – and childhood best friends – now in their mid-30s, whose relatively stable lives get turned upside down when their inappropriate, pain-in-the-neck patriarchs move in and overtake their home and work lives.
DADS is produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Fuzzy Door Productions. The series is created and written by Emmy Award-nominated writer/producers Alec Sulkin (“Ted,” FAMILY GUY) and Wellesley Wild (“Ted,” FAMILY GUY). Seth MacFarlane (“Ted,” FAMILY GUY), Mike Scully (THE SIMPSONS), Sulkin and Wild are executive producers. Marc Cendrowski (“The Big Bang Theory”) directed the pilot.

Ew. Should have been cancelled instead.
ReplyDeleteUgh, FOX, y u do dis?
ReplyDeleteMust be very desperate, I wonder how it'll do in the Spring.
ReplyDeleteWhy?
ReplyDeleteYou're not making it easy to like you, FOX!!!
ReplyDeleteWell I'd like to think if they can renew this show Almost Human shouldn't have a trouble getting renewed...YOU HEAR ME, FOX?!?!
ReplyDeleteOne less show to keep up with. *shrug*
ReplyDeleteBrenda Song deserves better than this shit. I swear to God, Seth MacFarlane had to have been drunk off his ass or high to the moon when he signed up for this series!
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteWho watches this show? Does FOX pay people to watch it?
ReplyDeleteQuite frankly, I wouldn't even want to get paid to watch this. You can pay me to watch a lot of shows, but Dads, na-ah!
ReplyDeleteThis will be one of the things that 50-100 years into the future, it will still be one of life's greatest mysteries as to how, why and what the fuck FOX was thinking when they did this.
ReplyDeleteI liked your comment solely based on "Ew." That described my exact feeling towards this show!
ReplyDeleteWHAT DOES THE FOX SAY? If it's this, I'd rather not know.
ReplyDeleteThis is a shame.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing mostly people who forget to change the channel after the local news. I did try sampling TWO - count em, TWO - episodes thinking surely they're at least SOMEWHAT funny, and I didn't want to trash a show I hadn't attempted to watch, but god I got less than halfway through both.
ReplyDeleteThis thoroughly confuses me. It's doing horrible in the ratings, what is FOX thinking by extending it?
ReplyDeleteI watched the pilot & it was terrible.
ReplyDeleteTheir thoughts: "FUCK, we did not think it was going to suck! We have nothing else available to fill the schedule with, let's just run this shit out and forget it ever happened"
ReplyDeleteI take full blame for this one.
ReplyDeleteWHY HAVE YOU FAILED US?
ReplyDeleteWas too busy hunting Witches of East End.
ReplyDeleteThe power of Seth MacFarlane.
ReplyDeleteWTH?!
ReplyDeleteThere must be an explanation. Maybe the people of FOX don't watch the show and somehow someone played a trick on them and told them the show was watchable! Or the most believable explanation for this is that magic is evolved, it could be a curse someone did to punish the viewres. Yeah that has to be it magic is envolved coz no one in their right mind could watch that horrible show and like it and keep it on the air.
ReplyDeleteNo, get away from that one too.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise to me if I am honest.
ReplyDelete1) I did not find it nearly as bad as most people on here (I still thought it was mediocre though).
2) I know a number of people that l watch it. Some Seth McF fans and others like my mom and her generation oddly enough.
3) FOX has put a lot of time into the show's defense an promotion.
4) They gave it a big additional script order and I said then it would be picked up for the season.
I will not be shocked if it is renewed honestly.
I just do not get FOX comedies. I never find them funny and in fact, most of the time I find them so un-funny I cannot make it through a full episode. I can make it through an episode of Dads... barely.
Agreed. I wish she would have stayed either on New Girl or Scandal. I liked both of her characters on both shows.
