It does well what standard sitcoms do. Read full review

This sitcom makes enough rooms for fresh gags. [22 Jun 2012, p.55]

Fox's "Raising Hope" manages to be both more outrageous and realistic than this flimsy, forgettable time-waster. Read full review

Baby Daddy has no real point of view, no real comedic voice and one very cute infant. Read full review

Even if you could forgive its lack of creativity, it's difficult to overlook its absurdly clunky execution. Oh, and the fact that it isn't very funny. Read full review

It's also similar to Fox's "Raising Hope," except that "Raising Hope" offers smart comedy and Baby Daddy is stuck in the realm of TGIF humor. Read full review

The cast is cheerful enough--and a lot younger than Tom Selleck, Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg--but there's really not much to be done with a concept this stale, or characters this thinly defined. Read full review

Then there is holy hotness Danny Wheeler, him and Riley make me feel like they are the legit couple goals. And then there is baby Emma, can we say adorable! Anyway I love this show.… Expand

It was funny and emotional. I enjoyed the pilot. I can predict it will b one of my favorite shows. The character-bonnie was clearly funny just like mowry. It has comedy n a little of romance...give it time; it should get better once u fall in love with the characters.

This is a good time waster, this is a decent comedy show. The main character Ben is not that interesting but the soppourting cast Riley, Tucker, Bens mom, and Danny are outstanding personalities. This show is decent but it also shows a lot of potential.

[Judging from the first episode.] I've seen many shows start out like this: Scratchy. Some of the cast say their lines as if they were amateur actors, and some actions are unbelievable. The first episode was to the point when it comes to introducing the characters, and I'm not a fan of that.[Judging from the first episode.] I've seen many shows start out like this: Scratchy. Some of the cast say their lines as if they were amateur actors, and some actions are unbelievable. The first episode was to the point when it comes to introducing the characters, and I'm not a fan of that. Going to the jokes, they are funny! But the tone of some of them made them not-so believable. But I can tell this show has a great chance of getting better, because the plot of the show is funny and watchable. These actors aren't the best, and they aren't the worst, I can tell they'll get better. I'll keep watching this show, see how things go in the future, as I really do believe in this show.… Expand

That this show would score in the green (a healthy 6.6 no less - woot! we didn't fail!) probably says more about Americans than the show. Within the first 5 minutes of the joyless, high-school scripted pilot, we're actually treated to a "what could possibly go wrong?" gag with the three brosThat this show would score in the green (a healthy 6.6 no less - woot! we didn't fail!) probably says more about Americans than the show. Within the first 5 minutes of the joyless, high-school scripted pilot, we're actually treated to a "what could possibly go wrong?" gag with the three bros on one side of the door and the baby on the other. That's the honest to god setup, "life is great! Ding dong. Whaaaa???" Admit it, you can visualize the crazy eyerolls and slo-mo head turn. I just want to punch myself in the soul for even watching this far in. But I was curious in the same way as when I stood in front of the mirror and whispered "Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary..."… Expand
