Guys With Children

A new show is about to appear on NBC called "Guys with Children". The comedy show revolves round three men, who are a stay at home father. In order to avoid school fundraisers, finding a real babysitter, etc. they hang out at bars and play it "cool". Their actions create tension with their wife's.

Los Angeles Times Television Critic, Mary McNamara, discusses this television program to underestimate fathers ability in parenthood. McNamara believes, "perhaps Fallon can be forgiven for viewing the fact that some men take care of their own children as earthshaking news because we keep treating it as such." McNamara does not believe that fathers theses days do not get the same credits that stay at home, mothers get.

This article is important because the writer discusses her opinion on society and television programs. She criticizes the the show, just as any other person would. This article caught my eye because i have seen this commercial and in my opinion, the show looks some what interesting. It makes me curious, as to what kind of things will appear in the show? This impacts me as a  student and future filmmaker because it teaches me that criticism happens everywhere, especially in the film industry, and it is okay to criticize some things. You shouldn't be afraid to state your opinions. As a consumer, this article could be used to take into consideration, whether or not, this show will become a hit. This articles leaves me thinking, will this show offend any fathers? Will this show become a hit, or will it just air the first series and just die down after? How does the writer come up with all the scripts?

But perhaps Fallon can be forgiven for viewing the fact that some men take care of their own children as earthshaking news because we keep treating it as such.
