Just What We Need: More Reality Television Starring Dads
Posted on 27. Mar, 2009 by Brian Reid in General
The nice folks at Fox sent me an e-mail this week reminding me that they plan to an unholy marriage of at-home-dad-reality-TV with celebrity-driven-reality TV in a show called “Househusbands of Hollywood,” which will follow a bunch of guys who are married to a bunch of who-dat celebs.
I have to admit to simply not understanding huge chunks of the reality-TV thing, including the whole “Real Housewives” concept, so I’m sure that “Househusbands” won’t float my boat, either. But I have this happy feeling deep in my gut that says that whatever kind of dreck the show will offer up, it won’t focus on the failings of these guys as dads.
Of course, it’ll air on Fox Reality Channel, whatever the hell that is.

I am happy to be sahd, but when mama comes home, The kids know she is mommy, and daddy is not mommy. Bottom line is we all want a break from our kids. with lots of love to this thought. The reality is are they going to show the real truth, about how sometimes we blow up, moms get lost befor coming home. and The children know nothing just that they are love and driving us crazy. An that sleep does not exist.

I’m sure they’ll be wearing thongs and talking on cell phones constantly. Can’t wait…

Speaking of TV dads, have you seen Castle? The main character is a bit of a man-child, except when he’s talking about his daughter. He describes his time as her primary caregiver as the best years of his life.
