Nicole
(Staci Keanan) has 2 dads, after her mother passes away, she was given into the
custody of Michael (Paul Reiser) and Joey (Greg Evigan), the two men whom her
mother had been with in her life. Unknown
to anyone (pre-DNA testing) who is the real father however they both end up
become her dads. Michael is a
conservative financial advisor, Joey is a liberal free thinking artist, and
Nicole is one turbo charged teenage girl... you do the math. So with two single straight men learning how
to raising one teenaged daughter, things can get a little hairy from time to
time, but ~hey... thats family.
This is a comical TV series about the joys of two men learning what it means to
be a single (double?) father. Between a
conservative father and a liberal father Nicole has best of both worlds, rigid
yet fun. It has very funny moments when
Nicole drives them both up the wall, and heart warming moments when they all
come together in times of trouble as a family. There themes such as love, growing up, being
responsible, and understanding... all the joys of parenting.
This is a great series, good for any family drama fans. There are episodes that
focus on things such as the responsibilities of raising a teenager or coming of
age stories that all parents have with their kids. Thought I would say the characters are more
like a teenage girl and two older brothers. This builds an interesting set up for a series
where the main male lead characters don't have a romantic love interest in each
other. Their relationship is more like
friends, but it becomes hilarious when two single men have to show a little
responsibility for their daughter. And
between two (supposedly) responsible men, they can handle a single teenage
girl, right?
