"Dads" -- unloved by critics but who loves them anyway? -- just got a full season order.
Kevin Reilly's statement (he's Fox Entertainment chief and a good Long Islander, so don't hold this against him):
My thoughts on this? Expected: Seth MacFarlane (one o' the creators), Seth Green, Martin Mull, Peter Riegert... Not easy to cancel this group (and MacFarlane does, after all, own Fox's soul.) Plus, the chattering critical class completely got snookered here: The more bellowing, the more likely viewers were likely to tune in. And because both Seths ("Family Guy," "Robot Chicken") have a well established fan base, they wanted critics to hate it. (Here's the Newsday review.)
