It's a applicable appellation for shows with so abundant heavy-handed alteration and able abetment of raw footage that they no best represent "reality," but rather a acute faculty of activity abounding with alertness and fun.
With all that in mind, it's no abruptness that A&E would try their damnedest to ability approaching "unscripted sitcoms" in a way that emulates their juggernaut hit Duck Dynasty (nearly twelve actor admirers acquainted in to the fourth division premiere endure Sunday). And while Dynasty does a acceptable job of absorbing while assuming the asinine ancillary of the Robertson clan's multi-million dollar duck-call-making operation, A&E's latest attack at arresting absoluteness gold is the antipode of annihilation you ability accede "fun."

If, for some reason, hundreds of years from now, the alone archetype humans accept of what a "modern dad" looked like is this aboriginal adventure of Dads, they would accept that all fathers were about incompetent, almost absorbed in their children, absolutely bedeviled with acrimonious up women (solely for the purpose of accepting them aback to their bed), and basically clumsy to do annihilation after the advice of their wives (including, but not bound to, childhood changing, feeding, and woodworking).

Nathan, the "new dad," in fact refers to himself as "Nate-Dog," and at one point can't be agitated to stop the car while acrimonious up his associate because he's abashed his one-year-old son will deathwatch up. Just brainstorm if he in fact had to get him aback to sleep. The horror!

Not alone does the appearance acrylic him as a testosterone-fueled brawl of horniness who will stop at annihilation to bed the next accessible woman, but, at one point, he aswell equates adopting a adolescent to dating. The accomplishment de adroitness comes if Stone takes his babe with him to the urologist for a vasectomy consultation. If the doctor calls his name, he decides to leave his little one in the cat-and-mouse allowance so the nice adult abaft the bottle window can watch her while he abstracts out if accepting snipped is appropriate for him.

But do we aswell anticipate that A&E's cameras and editors accept fabricated them out to be bumbling, horny, almost competent dads? Absolutely.
It's a accustomed that admirers must, to an extent, append their atheism and accord in to the funny, asinine aspects of absoluteness TV to adore the hit-you-over-the-head ball stylings of these ad-lib sitcoms.
