A
family comedy for the new millenium, "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. The series takes a funny and interesting look at
families and how men's and women's roles are changing.
Chiklis
stars as Chris Woods, a restaurant supply 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 13
year-old daughter Shannon
(Cristina
Kernan), 12 year-old son Max
(Martin Spanjers), five year-old Jake (Mitch Holleman) and infant Emily
(Ashley and Whitney Steidl), 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,
"Norm"), on how to raise his kids, while Holly (Suzy Nakamura,
"The West Wing") never misses an opportunity to remind Chris
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,
"Suicide Kings"), as well as his new neighbor, ex-Marine
Bobick (Steve Ryan, "Crime Story").
