Struggling against having their fathers at their house, two young ambitious and smart guys, who have a very quiet and comfortable life, as they work as video games developers, whose life flips around, when their wacky fathers move to live with them.
This charmless misfire from Seth MacFarlane's camp reminds us that what might be funny in the mouths of sardonic cartoon characters often falls flat when delivered by actual so-called human beings.
Dads, a show about two annoying grown men's extremely fraught and contentious relationships with their two unbearable fathers, is sourer than fermented lemonade, and that's before it turns acrid with the taste of casual racism.
The writing on Dads is so straight-up horrendous that one wouldn't be surprised to see it in the middle of a Family Guy episode as an attempt by MacFarlane to satirize bad sitcom writing.
Don't fall for Fox's gambit. The show isn't exactly "reprehensible," but it is definitely "tired," "forced," "predictable," "lazy" - choose your own critical adjective that means "bad."
