Review of Baby Daddy

Baby Daddy (2012–2017)
8/10
Show with an interesting role reversal premise
20 March 2014
Usually, the women are the ones who get stuck with raising the kids when there's an unexpected pregnancy. In this case, it's a little like Three Men and a Baby made into a TV series, except the three men in this case are much younger.

As a series, I liked how the characters are allowed to develop, as much as can be developed for a sitcom. There are the usual young male antics - trying to impress dates, shameless flirting, hooking up left and right, etc. But there are also the parts where young daddy Ben fights for his daughter, makes sacrifices for her, pines after Chelsea, parts which make him more than a two-dimensional token dad.

The other characters also make it interesting: lovable best friend room- mate Tucker, simple-minded hockey player brother Danny, loud-mouthed mother Bonnie, and sweet intelligent Riley, the object of many men's affection.

The acting is good for a show that does not depend usually heavily on physical comedy. Most of the time, each episode's main plot is interesting enough on its own.

I hope this show continues its good run till Three Men and a Baby becomes Three Men and a Lady on TV.
