hellraiser40 This is, like Full House, a show about a divorced man who lives with his daughters and his father and encounters all kind of funny situations. HAHAHA, I'm laughing already!!Now for how this show turns out in reality : this is the kind of moralistic show without any decent funny situations that I really can't watch without getting frustrated. I know that not every show can be like The Simpsons or Married With Children, but couldn't they do better than re-using the "Full House" format? I mean, Bob Saget plays the exact same role!!! And he and the rest of the actors are as funny as in that previous show : totally not. This is not the way it goes in real families. Or is the American lifestyle that hypocrite and unrealistic?It stuns me that this kind of tripe still gets made when much better shows like "Grounded For Life" shows how it should be done. But no!! Let's make another Full House, because people liked it so much!! Well, watching this junk embarrasses me, completely. Acting, directing, writing,... all for nothing I can say. I hope this show will appear in the garbage bin very soon!!
mattkratz This show is a lot like Full House, with Bob Saget again playing a widowed father who gets outside help from friends in raising his daughters. It's an okay show at best. I sort of like it, as the show does have some funny moments.
stephen_didlick1 My favourite show at the moment HAS to be "Raising Dad". Please, please, please, WB do NOT cancel it. I just saw it on Nickelodeon UK and knowing kids and teens, it will get popular and played WAY more then it should!Maybe the humour could be better, but, it is an excellent show!
Lothlann Awful. Just awful.I remembered Bob Sagat having acting skills in Full House. What happened here?? This show is terrible. I don't expect it to survive further than this season.
