But it scores points on a couple of fronts. On most sitcoms, the characters seem like they never have to go to work. At least in Daddio, Chiklis bothers to actually quit. More important, the kids play major roles. Maybe you have to have children to appreciate tales of diaper changes and Little League practice, but the kids in Daddio serve as more than just setups for jokes. [23 March 2000, p.1E]
Too often, however, Daddio‘s humor is the equivalent of taking candy from a baby — jokes about breast-feeding, telemarketers, and poopy diapers. And the cast couldn’t be more generic.
Wedged between Friends and Frasier in Jesse's primo time slot, Daddio has a shot at hit-dom. Its chances would be improved if the producers can find a way to increase the show's chuckles-to-groans ratio. [23 March 2000]
This is a sitcom so generic it should have a bar code instead of a title. You get the feeling that Ozzie Nelson could pop up and not look out of place. [23 March 2000]
"Daddio is far from the season's most original sitcom; there's even an oddball neighbor, Rod (Kevin Crowley), who seems destined to be its version of Cosmo Kramer. The pilot includes some gentle laughs, and Chiklis gives it his all -- sometimes perhaps too much, as though he's determined to make the show a hit through sheer force of will.
Numbingly unfunny. [23 March 2000, p.49]
Nearly unwatchable -- a dreadful rehash of old sitcom jokes that are, at best, lame and, at worst, offensive.
