This looks fun. Anyone going to watch tonight (it is one before Big Brother on NBC.)

Anyone know what it is about? To me it looks like dads are in charge of their house for a certain period of time or something? They compete against a different dad and I think the moms are out of the picture. Anyone know any more info?

I just stumbled across it in the TV guide and thought it sounded interesting. I've set up TiVO to record it so I can watch it later. (Not home tonight. Bummer). I'd love to see dads get a small dose of what moms go through daily! Don't know much about it but will watch it with an open mind. Hope it's good.

I've got it set up on my DVR too. No telling when I'll get the chance to watch it though. I still haven't started watching my Brat Camp recordings.

Yes. Dinner with the Dads on TV for me. Then Big Brother. Then Rock Star: INXS. Good TV night

The Potter family looks loaded! What does the dad sell? His wife is a stay at home mom too. Did you see the size of the house and that pool?

OH MY GOD!!! CAN you believe it?! A reality show where the parents love each other, respect each other, don't fight, know how to parent and the kids are nice?
THUD!

rotflmbo Julie - so true. I watched it a bit during Canadian Idol commercials. The Pot belly pig was hilarious.

A lot kinder and gentler than "Wife Swap." I really enjoyed watching the show and I agree with you, Julie, unheard of these days!

Thanks Skootz! I really thought this show was sweet. What a totally different feel than Big Brother!

Vee, you are so totally right, a much, much kinder, gentler WifeSwap/Trading Spouses.

There were zero fights (well one or two small tantrums from the 4 yr. old, but that was it!)

I also LOVED what Dan Smith (I think it was him) said when he said something about he better make sure that Mrs. Smith (Lesley?) could never say anything like"What do I need Dan Smith for?" That hit me as very profound.

I loved that!!! I looked at my dh and he was crying too! Imagine a couple that ACTUALLY loves and mutually respects each other...

You have to admit though... these were some really neat and terrific men! Fabulous Dads! And in the end... the whole family wins! I loved that the "prize" was for their kids...

It was a really great "feel good" show!

I want more!

I loved this show, too. It just seemed so sweet. These two dads weren't exactly clueless in the first place. You could tell they were used to interacting with their kids, and both dads seemed to get along well with them and still be able to have fun with them. It's so refreshing to see some happy families.

It was pretty funny the way the one dad got so attached to the llama.

I will definitely be watching this one again.

The show was fun, but I got a few questions for you guys...


Did it bother you that they didn't TELL you how much the prize money was at the start of the show?

When you found out that it was $25k were you let down? Did you say "No wonder they didn't tell me up front."

Did the cartoon music bother you?

Did you want to know HOW they were graded? Who judged them? (Clearly not the moms.)

Was the grading system proper? (A, B, C etc.) What would have been better?

What did you make of the moms doing the bartender scene? What else would you expect to see them do at a resort that you didn't see them do?

Did the resort feel cheap to you?

Did you buy the fact that the kids just showed up for the sleep-over? Did it register that their parents had to sign releases etc??

Do you feel like the sleep-over comp had a pay off?

Do you feel like the "take care of the animals" had a pay off? Or do you even remember them really DOING anything with the animals?

Did it bother you that they didn't TELL you how much the prize money was at the start of the show? Not a bit.

When you found out that it was $25k were you let down? Did you say "No wonder they didn't tell me up front." No

Did the cartoon music bother you? No

Did you want to know HOW they were graded? Who judged them? (Clearly not the moms.) Not until you mentioned it. That might have been good to see. But doesn't bother me at all....

Was the grading system proper? (A, B, C etc.) What would have been better? Not important to me at all.

What did you make of the moms doing the bartender scene? What else would you expect to see them do at a resort that you didn't see them do? Didn't care... Would rather see the dads and kids than the moms doing anything.

Did the resort feel cheap to you? No. Wouldn't care anyways.

Did you buy the fact that the kids just showed up for the sleep-over? Did it register that their parents had to sign releases etc?? Didn't make a diff to me one bit.

Do you feel like the sleep-over comp had a pay off? No

Do you feel like the "take care of the animals" had a pay off? Or do you even remember them really DOING anything with the animals? No. And I loved the llama stuff with the one dad. Was very touching.

Boy Tobor you think way too much... Do you check movies for flaws as you watch them?

I don't have to "check" for flaws. They just stick right out and yell at me to notice.

This is my curse.
