Raising Dad - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I am thinking of getting the whole series.. this was a show was from 2001 with Bob Saget playing a widowed father with two daughters trying to keep his sanity.

Anyone seen it? Is it any good?

I'm scared I'm going to like it and get let down when I have no more episodes to watch. Shows seems to have a magic number of around 18 (Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared), but this one managed to make 22.

Fact: I think one of the two daughters on Raising Dad was portrayed by a pre-2 Broke Girls Kat Dennings.

You're right. I like her. But not the reason I want the show, even though it helps.

I have this weird feeling I want to see it.. there's some short lived Jason Bateman shows I want to see for some reason also. I forget them all, but one was Some of My Best Friends.. only 7 eps.

I think there were only 5 episodes, but I want to see Bob Paterson. A short lived show with George from Seinfeld.

I watched Raising Dad a lot. I liked it. I wish it would come out on DVD. Some of Jason Bateman's sitcoms I liked were The Hogan Family, It's Your Move and George And Leo. I loved all those shows.

It was a good show, but the reason why it isn't perfect and it failed to get a second season is because both the script and acting is too tight.

Kat Dennings is doing better in 2 Broke Girls rather than in Raising Dad right now, so I will rather stick with 2 Broke Girls in the meantime.

Even as a teen she had a huge rack.
