Guys With Kids: Discussion Thread

“Guys with Kids” — From Emmy winner and executive producer Jimmy Fallon comes a new comedy about three thirty-something dads trying to hold on to their youth, while holding onto their new babies’ hands. Easy, right? Thankfully, Chris (Jesse Bradford, “The West Wing”), Nick (Zach Cregger, “Friends with Benefits”) and Gary (Anthony Anderson, “Law & Order”) have each other to help navigate their survival as new dads, while still trying desperately to remain dudes. Balancing work or staying at home, painfully married or happily divorced, they know that taking care of the little ones while maintaining a social life is a daily challenge. Whether it’s hosing the little squirt down in the kitchen sink or hitting the bar strapped with a baby björn, these guys are on a roller-coaster adventure – parenting like you (and they) have never seen before. Also starring are Jamie Lynn Sigler (“The Sopranos”) and Tempestt Bledsoe (“The Cosby Show”). Someone once said it is much easier to become a father than to be one. These three guys are about to find out just how true that is. “Guys with Kids” is produced by Universal Television and Holiday Road. Fallon (“Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”) serves as executive producer/creator along with executive producer/creator/writer Charlie Grandy (NBC’s “The Office”) and executive producer/creator Amy Ozols (“Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”) as well as executive producers Rick Wiener and Kenny Schwartz (“Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place,” “American Dad”). Emmy-nominated director Scott Ellis (“Modern Family,” “30 Rock”) is the director.

I chuckled a few times in the preview. Looks like NBC finally might have a multi-cam that could catch on, but Wednesday at 8:30 though is a horrible spot to put.

I groaned more than I chuckled.Guess this show is not aimed at me.This whole worship of babies combined with the stereotype that dads are useless really annoys me.

this show is not good, not at all.

that said, i liked it way more i should have knowing its bad.

I didn't care for it. I HATED the typical woman shrew ex-wife character.

I laughed a few times, but I agree it's not a good show. It's also in a bad time slot, so I don't think it will last long.

I kinda liked it. It's not brilliant or so funny or anything but I like the group of guys. I've always thought Anthony Anderson was a funny guy ever since he was on Hang Time. I'll watch a couple more episodes before deciding to continue or dropping it.

A multi-cam that Toups like more than me? Has hell frozen over? LOL I agree about Anthony Annderson. He is one of the few bright spots of the show.
