With his wife Norma at his side, Dr. Bindlebeep gamely tries to sort out the complications of parenthood, without losing his sense of humor.

Fatherhood season 2 was so chock-full of good episodes that we had to split it up! The second half of the 2nd season debuts with a two-hour stunt featuring two premiere episodes followed by two earlier season 2 encore episodes.
Guest voices for this new batch of episodes include Henry Winkler, Betty White, Jim Belushi, Tavis Smiley, Ed Asner, and Wayne Brady.

NICK AT NITE'S HIT ORIGINAL ANIMATED SERIES
RETURNS WITH BRAND NEW EPISODES

Santa Monica, CA, October 11, 2006 - Nick at Nite's first original, animated series, Fatherhood, based on Bill Cosby's best selling book of the same name, returns for more family fun and Dr. Bindlebeeps' fatherly wisdom on Tuesday, October 18 at 9:30 pm (ET/PT). The series stars Blair Underwood and Sabrina LeBeauf and is executive produced by Cosby for Nick at Nite along with Charles Kipps (Little Bill, Cosby Mysteries), Mike Milligan (The Jeffersons, Dear John, Here and Now) and David Brokaw (Little Bill). The season premiere on October 18th guest stars Henry Winkler. Other guest stars throughout the season include Betty White, Wayne Brady, Tavis Smiley, Ed Asner and Lou Rawls.

"Our viewers have really connected with Fatherhood, so we are thrilled that we are able to produce more episodes with Bill Cosby," states Sal Maniaci, Vice President, Development and Production, TV Land and Nick at Nite.

Fatherhood delivers a comedic, yet insightful journey in each half hour episode focusing on the challenges, life lessons and comical confusions of family life.

Nearly 64 million cumulative viewers tuned into the first season of Fatherhood, which premiered in June 2004. The series went on to win a NAMIC Vision Award (The National Association of Minorities in Communications) for Best Comedy (tied with Chapelle's Show).

Fatherhood (Doubleday/Dolphin) was published in May 1986 and became the fastest-selling hardcover book at that time.
