The Resume

    (September 20, 1987-April 30, 1990)
    Aired on NBC
    Paul Reiser as Michael Taylor
    Greg Evigan as Joey Harris
    Stacy Keanan as Nicole Bradford
    Florence Stanley as Judge Margaret Wilbur
    Dick Butkus as Ed Klawicki (1987-89)
    Premise: After Nicole's mother dies, custody is jointly granted to the two men her mom had been dating back when Nicole was conceived

Why My Two Dads might be annoying:

    Joel Stein's description of the premise: 'Bad news. Your mom's dead and she was kind of a slut.'
    The judge must have been a fan of wacky sitcoms, or she just would have ordered a DNA test.
    In an example of 'we didn't feel like writing another character' syndrome, the judge doubled as the family's landlord.
    In the tradition of The Odd Couple, Reiser played an uptight businessman while Evigan played a free-spirited artist.
    The last season featured Chad Allen and Giovanni Ribisi competing for Nicole's affection, a situation that was presumably meant to be cute but seemed more like an alarming chance for history to repeat itself.

Why My Two Dads might not be annoying:

    The producers may have realized how unlikely the premise sounded, since Nicole later had DNA tests run, only to destroy the results without looking after deciding she was happier not knowing.
    It had a couple of crossovers with Night Court.
    The many 'Two men living together? What's up with that?' reactions from supporting characters may have helped pave the way for greater acceptance of same sex couples.
