Stereotypical jokes are funny! So are political jokes! I like this show.

If you like this show, you are a total idiot, and unfortunately, a reflection of the extreme decline of the US. Let me guess, you also voted for Obama.

Right, because your opinion is the BE ALL, END ALL of all opinions. What a maroon. This show is on Nick, not the major networks. Its target audience is kids, and parent with kids. Pull your head out of your butt and wise up, and stop spewing hate because you think it makes you look cool.

No, I think Obama is a mistake.

I guess you were wrong...

Scott Baio’s Nick At Nite Comedy ‘See Dad Run’ Renewed For Second Season

By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Wednesday December 19, 2012

EXCLUSIVE: Nick At Nite’s first original scripted comedy series See Dad Run has been renewed for a second season. The family sitcom starring Scott Baio has received a 20-episode order, matching its fist-season pickup. Created by Tina Albanese and Patrick Labyorteaux, See Dad Run centers on actor David Hobbs (Scott Baio) who, after a decade on television, becomes a stay-at-home dad so his soap-opera star wife can get back in the spotlight, but he quickly realizes that playing a dad on television is much different from the real thing. See Dad Run, which debuted Oct. 6, will soon be joined by Nick at Nite’s second original comedy series Wendell And Vinnie, which will premiere next year.

Catching Up With Alanna Ubach – Californication, The Actor’s Work Ethic And More
Posted on January 23, 2013 by Brendon Connelly

"Right now, it’s Californication all the way, I’m very proud of this character, then I’m continuing second season for See Dad Run. We got picked up for 20 episodes. It’s a hokey little show and I had no idea it would get past first season but it has and I’m shocked beyond belief and elated at the same time."

Many actors feel happy and blessed to find out they have been given another season. Her being shocked doesn't mean it sucks though. It's never guaranteed for any show, even if they adore the stars. Look at How to Rock and Victorious. Its easy to say that a high school based show should last 4 years and should feature a graduation episode, but how many do.

My only problem is how oblivious David is to the fact that he is a jerk to everyone who loves him and his is seldom called on it. We all know their are many great dads out there but are all TV dads this bad in real-life? And are they big primadonnas like David? Those are the real questions. And his mom is way worse.

Two seasons hardly qualifies as lasting, but its a good start. And while I don't hate the show, two season exceeds many peoples' (including my own) expectations and can be viewed as a moderate success for now. Charles in Charge lasted for like 6-7 years so I assume it was good, but I doubt anything not on a Major Network will be last that long in this day and age, especially this show, so Scott Baio can't base this shows success on Charles in Charge. Its on Nick at Nite and reruns on TNick. So even if it is good, many people out there will never know. And as we all know Ratings are obsolete so it might be doing good enough.

What does it pull? I'd guess about 2.4-3.5 million.

reply

And they probably factored in Scott Baio. It's not like a bunch of people were waiting on his next new show and expecting it to do good. Scott is good, but its been a while since he was great. I don't know his exact track history, but I know he was a hit on Happy Days, but Joanie Loves Chachi, eh. I know that and I wasn't even born then, so anyone who remembers his epic fails, is old, dead or don't care about a Nick show, which makes since to put him on Nick at Nite, since it started off as "old school" TV. Nick probably thought, well its Baio, get it a chance whereas a true no-name would get cancelled for the same ratings.

If he wasn't a producer, I'd swear they wanted John Stamos, Bob Saget, Or maybe Matt LeBlanc or even Joey Lawrence if he weren't busy ahead of Baio. But they all would receive similar treatment.

You can check the ratings for each episode here:

What's the average for a Nick at Nite original series, if any before this? Not sure on how many viewers tune into Nick channels.

According to what's on Wiki, here is the history of their original programming:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_at_Nite#Original_programming

Nick at Nite has also occasionally experimented with creating its own programs, sometimes with bizarre and surrealistic results. On December 5, 1987, the channel had a contest called the Do It Yourself Sitcom Special, which was billed as the first time real people ever had their own television shows. Viewers submitted their own sitcom ideas and the winner would supposedly get their own show. In 1988, the channel aired a half-hour animated Christmas special, the pilot for what was to be an animated series entitled Tattertown, created by Ralph Bakshi. The series never emerged, but the special, later renamed Christmas in Tattertown, was aired every Christmas on Nick at Nite for several years. In 1990, the channel briefly aired a show called On the Television,[10] a mock critic show hosted by Siskel and Ebert-type characters and featured bizarre, sometimes disturbing clips from parodied television shows supposedly beginning that week.

In the early 1990s, the channel ran a one-time special featuring old television commercials, but the idea of showing old commercials would be rehashed by the network on several other shows and eventually become a staple of offshoot channel, TV Land. There was one special that was promoted as a TV dad quiz. The host walked through a "typical TV Home", and quizzed the viewers at home with trivia about classic TV dad clichés. At one point, the host told the viewers to connect pictures of TV dads with their appropriate TV moms displayed on the screen with a magic marker. At the end of this segment he mentions that he forgot to tell the viewers to place a piece of plastic over their screen while doing this and made jokes about the viewers futilely trying to clean the magic marker off their screens for the rest of the show.

In 1991, Nick at Nite created its own sitcom based around the rerun genre it had pioneered. The sitcom, named Hi Honey, I'm Home! (named after the cliché phrase used by in sitcoms where dads addressing their wives when returning home in the evenings from work) and focused on a 1950s sitcom family called the Nielsens, whose show has been removed from syndication, forcing the family to leave TV Land and move into a real 1990s suburban neighborhood, repeatedly confronting the family with culture shock. The show aired on ABC on Fridays during the network's TGIF lineup, and then would "rerun" on Nick at Nite the following Sunday nights.

In 2008, the channel announced that it was making a remake of the 1990s game show Nickelodeon GUTS called My Family's Got GUTS for families, as well as developing a dog competition show.[11] My Family's Got GUTS eventually premiered on Nickelodeon in September 2008. On August 17, 2009, Nick at Nite debuted a new stop-motion claymation series called Glenn Martin DDS, which ran for two seasons. Scripted programming returned to Nick at Nite in 2012, with the June 11 debut of the telenovela-based Hollywood Heights, followed on October 6 with the premiere of See Dad Run.

reply

Nick at Nite's previous original series "Hollywood Heights" premiered on June 18, 2012 and had 80 episodes. Wiki only shows the ratings for the first 40 episodes which range from 0.336 million viewers to 0.933 million viewers. So 'See Dad Run' has had better ratings than that from the start.

reply

Sorry but not a fair comparison. Hollywood Heights ran 5 days a week on weekdays during the summer The Olympics was going on and the DirectTV/Viacom feud where people who had DirectTV for about 2 weeks couldn't even watch any Viacom channels.

See Dad Run runs only one day a week on a weekend during the Fall.
