Guys With Kids Comedy
Guys With Kids will air on NBC from September 26th, 2012.
The tv show is about 3 dads trying to get through fatherhood as best as they can. They don't let having kids stop them from doing what they want to do. And instead of meeting at the park like most mother and baby groups do, these dads are often found watching their favorites sports in the local bar, with their babies.
They get fathering advice from each other and share the important things in their lives. They talk about their relationships and their loved ones. Mostly they talk about thier babies, but it's done in a really funny way.
The show takes conventional opinions on raising kids and twists it a little to give us a modern portrayal of fatherhood.
Each of the dads portrays a certain segment of fathers.
Chris is a single father trying to raise his son without his partner. He asks the other dads in the group advice on how to raise his child. They give their input into his life and how he should deal with his ex-wife.
Chris does his best to deal with his ex-wife but she's really controlling and nothing he does is ever good enough; which probably explains why they are divorced. Chris tries to diffuse the situation with sarcasm and humor.
Chris also uses his baby as a girl magnet. Girls seem to be attracted to cute dads. Who woulda known?
Nick is a working dad. He has 2 kids and helps raise them with his wife. He's tired from work, but still has to find the energy to play with the kids.
Although Nick seems happy with this situation his wife is suffering from being with the kids all day. She would love for them do to something together just the 2 of them. Nick misses the point completely.
This leaves us with the last segment - Dads that stay at home to look after the kids while their wives works full time to support the household.
Gary has 4 kids and hasn't had sex in a long time. He feels like Nick's wife and can totally understand wht it's like constantly being left with the kids. In fact, he's been staying at home for so long he feels like his kids are lowering his IQ.
