The networks are preparing to unleash unto the world a whole new crop of sitcoms, and I imagine many a producer is busy wringing his hands and dabbing sweat from his brow as he waits to see how a mercurial public receives the fruits of his labor. Will anyone watch? Will the network request more episodes or won’t they? The suspense is killing these guys because they’re as clueless to the viewer’s desires as, well, the viewer is.
Dads (Fox, 9/17) Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi are Eli and Warner, a couple of cool dudes with cool apartments who run their own very cool video game development firm. You know what’s not cool, though? DADS. A damper is put on the guys’ fun, sexy lives when both of their respective dads decide to move in with them. The pilot features lots of fresh humor about sexy Asian schoolgirls. I want better for Martin Mull.
