Guide: Daddio
Written
by Rick Ellis, March 6th, 2000
A family comedy
for the new millennium, "Daddio" is a half-hour series starring
Michael Chiklis (The Commish) as a stay-at-home father
who is actually quite proficient in his new role as homemaker.
From producer/writers Matt Berry and Ric Swartzlander (Ellen,
Grace Under Fire), the series takes a funny and interesting
look at families and how men's and women's roles are changing
in the 2000s.
Chiklis stars
as Chris Woods, a former paper goods salesman who decides to leave
his job and stay home to raise his family while his attorney wife
Linda (Anita Barone,
The Jeff Foxworthy Show) goes back to work. Although Chris
relishes his new role taking care of the children, he soon realizes
that the kids are the least of his problems.
Now a member
of the "mommies group," Chris is forever being advised by Linda's
well-meaning, but annoying friend Barb (Amy Wilson, The Norm
Show) on how to raise his kids, while Holly (Suzy Nakamura,
The West Wing) never misses an opportunity to remind him
just how tough stay-at-home parenting can be. Meanwhile, Chris
also finds himself defending his domestic situation to both his
slightly dense best friend (also Barb's husband), Rod (Kevin Crowley,
Can't Hurry Love), as well as his new neighbor, macho ex-Marine
Bobick (Steve Ryan, Crime Story).
Berry and
Swartzlander serve as creators and executive producers of the
series from Touchstone Television.
