So sorry ABC Family, this one is a BIG fail for me. It's a poorly executed mash-up of "Raising Hope" (baby daddy finds himself raising daughter) or "New Girl" (three guys and a girl are all best friends) without the quirky charm of either. The writing is juvenile and the jokes are stale. How often do we need to see an incompetent father wearing a gas mask while changing a diaper? Michael Keaton pretty much milked all the humor out of that little scenario in "Mr. Mom" in1983. And didn't Crystal Bernard in "Wings" and Courtney Cox in "Friends" pretty much cover the whole "fat girl loses weight and is hot now" theme? Personally, I'm soooo tired of this laziness in the industry.
I feel for the cast members because I think that they individually had their moments, but there's only so much you can do with a badly recycled story line and a worse script.
Original comedy? Not so much. Better luck next time, ABC.
