Scripted? No doubt. Do the men seem to go out of their way to discuss sex, bowel movements and other "provocative" topics? They do indeed. But they also treat their children with love and respect.
-
The four guys at the center of the show, in addition to actually being friends before the cameras came around, are portrayed as caring, involved dads, albeit with a few sitcommy quirks.... But thinking the dads on Modern Dads are somehow unique is really not capturing the whole picture.
-
What's missing from the show are the very things that make so many reality shows intolerable and, sadly, make them hits as well. No one's nuts, no one is a raging alcoholic or a jealous maniac, the dads don't get into fistfights, and the only misbehaving you'll see on the show can be fixed with a simple diaper change.
-
Maybe some day someone will give some stay-at-home dads some respect. This show isn’t it.
-
These guys are so bland and their together time so contrived, it's more fun to watch the gears turn on the tired docusoap machine.
-
Modern Dads has an opportunity to enlighten. Now, in a half-hour format, the show barely flips a switch.
-
Good parenting is noble, selfless, wonderful work. It’s just not all that compelling to watch it practiced by strangers.
-
Everything on the show feels outlined, if not scripted.
-
The first episode is just too relentlessly clunky and stupid.
