Racist, and Unfunny. Seth Green you picked the wrong show to go on.

Warning: Spoilers
I cannot put words into how mixed my feelings are on this one. I mean as much as i love Seth Green, he couldn't have picked a worse show to star in. His acting is great and all but this show is just so unlikable. The show is extremely racist to both Asian Americans and Koreans and i just cringed at it all. This episode is so racist i'm surprised it even aired. I am just so upset by the writing. And they think racist jokes are funny? Gimme a break. None of the gags are funny. None. they are all fails. This episode solely deflated any chance of me tuning into another episode. I'm sure my thoughts are shared by many others. Epic fail. And the two dads they are extremely annoying they aren't even funny, They're just annoying and idiots if you ask me. Bad just bad.

Over-acted, under-written, unfunny and a little racist.

"Dads" is the new comedy starring Giovanni Ribisi and Seth Green as video game designers (or higher-ups at a video game publisher, they never specify) whose lives are interrupted when their fathers (Peter Riegert and Martin Mull) come to live with them.

Where to begin on how painfully unfunny this pilot was. The majority of these "jokes" were either slapstick or racist quips while the laugh track emphasized just how bad they were. Ribisi is a good actor, but he gets stuck playing what is supposed to be the grounded role. He is married and seems to have a little more sense than his counterpart and doesn't receive one funny line. Seth Green, who is usually funny and likable, comes off as a hyperactive and annoying man child because of the script and his performance. One of the worst parts of this experience was watching Green overact as the laugh track roars behind him.

I don't see this show getting any better, but it can't get much worse. I see cancellation in this shows near future.
