mattkratz Need one of television's ad hoc families? I recommend this one. Nicole's (Staci Keenan) mother dies, and her two old flames inherit her per her will. One of them is her father, but no one knows who. They used to be best friends, but parted enemies, and now make up their differences for Nicole's sake and move into Joey's apartment and try to put up a "normal" family. Of course, the two dads have totally different personalities;Michael is an uptight consultant while Joey is a carefree, spontaneous artist. This makes for the funniest situations which of course get settled by the end of the episode. I think this is one of the funniest comedies of the '80s. If you have the time, check it out.*** out of ****

sgurch2002 I've read through these comments, all bashing MTD's, but for me growing with two homosexual fathers, the show was a godsend! There, once a week, was a family that looked and acted just like mine - except I didn't have a neighbor like Dick Butkus, he-he. Greg Evigan and Paul Reiser had this unspoken sexual chemistry, just like my father's, Stan and Randy (though sometimes their chemistry was more that just unspoken but that's a story for Dr. Phil!). MTD's quickly became my life. I collected the entire set of trading cards (sold only in Israel), the backpack, and the hair gell endorsed by Greg Evigan at the time (for a firm, stylish hold...). Really, the only thing I can say to sirs, Evigan and Reiser, "Thank you, my two sweet princes."

wishkah7 **jumps on a soapbox** I am so sick and tired of all these sitcoms about moronic parents and precocious, wise beyond their years, and mature kids! In this one, a woman who has been with two men and gets pregnant, and 12 years later the mom dies mysteriously and the two gullible men get custody of the girl. And as usual she's mature, popular, and wise beyond her years and totally boy crazy and already dating. Yes, you heard me right, dating. She has a best friend who thinks and feels the same way she does.My Two Dads is by far one of the worst 80's sitcoms ever! Small Wonder comes in second. The way the dads let that girl even act the way she did in the sitcom was sick! And of course the dads were too dumb to discipline her, and it was almost as if _she_ was raising her dads! Pathetic and unrealistic! My theory is this show started a lot of those other sitcoms about dads raising daughters and the mom is deseased, or the kids have to go live with some idiotic relative and make his life a living hell. This sitcom never should've been made. Besides, in reality, would a girl who's living with 'two dads' like that even be popular? No, she wouldn't. She'd be mocked and ridiculed until she graduates or moves out of town which ever comes first. Also, not all teenage girls are boy crazy and trendy. It's like the writers of those shows want to make us viewers believe that. My Two Dads should've had the plug pulled on it before coming onto television!

Baldach The basic plot of the show was Nichole's(Keanan) mother died and she was adopted by the two men who had been with her mother.Micheal (Reiser) was the successful, easily stressed business man. Joey (Evigan) was the laid back rock musician. Also the judge lived with them to oversee the upbringing. Typical episodes include Nichole's first date, Nichole's dating a rebel, etc. The series gave me the first appearance of Reiser's range of comedy material, also Keanan was the girl that I wish that went to my junior high.:)
