'Guys With Kids'

What we said then: "With the talent both in front of and behind the camera ... the show feels like it should be better. And maybe it will be."

What we say now: The show still offers flashes of a smart, sharp take on 21st century fatherhood, but it also still goes for the easy joke too often. NBC thought enough of it to order a few more episodes, but it's probably a bubble show at best.
