Grade: F-
“Dads” may have premiered last week, but this show is so agonizingly terrible and tasteless that I’m reviewing it anyway. I caught the pilot knowing that it was a Seth MacFarlane-helmed show about a bunch of insufferable white dudes, and like Michael Bluth with a paper bag full of frozen dead dove, I don’t know what I expected. I guess part of me hoped that I had built up MacFarlane’s awfulness in my head, but I didn’t. “Dads” is unfunny, unlikable, offensive, smug, unoriginal and hideously bad. At one point, Brenda Song’s character actually enters wearing a stereotypical Japanese school girl costume to a chorus of canned audience catcalls. It is an unforgivable crime that this steaming pile of crap gets primetime network support.
