There are so many family sitcoms that are popular but just weren't that good or funny. I've read a lot about how people loved this show but I just don't get it. The jokes always fall flat and the whole premise of the show is incredibly dumb. To base a whole show around a father whose not ready for his daughters to be dating seems so silly to me but somehow it seemed to win people over. And aren't there enough sitcoms out there about cookie cutter families? I mean that is just not interesting to me.
I did, however, love John Ritter (may he RIP) and I was disappointed that he would do this show when I felt he was capable of doing more challenging, sophisticated roles. This is another example of why I feel people have bad taste in tv.
