The Odd Couple meets Two and a Half Men.
John Lithgow’s free-spirit character tries to get his stodgy childhood friend (Jeffrey Tambor’s character) to live a little, as they’ve only got “20 years left” of fun-seeking to enjoy.
There hasn’t been a true double TV Single Dad show on television since Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. (Most people remember that Captain Sisko was a Single Dad, but forget that the Ferengi Rom was also a Single Dad for the majority of the run of the series.) Unfortunately, it didn’t play as well as Two and a Half Men did on CBS. Gone after just 3 episodes.
