Seth McFarlan is an undeniable force to be considered in Hollywood, especially in TV space. As the creator of long -term shows like "Family Guy" And "American Dad", his creations are now bodies of the pop culture landscape. But even heavy players miss from time to time. For McFarlin, his biggest miss has come in 2013 when Fox took his site with more live cameras "DADS". Driving highly at the most time in his career, the net seemed to think he couldn't lose. What ended was an unsurpassed critical mistake.

How bad was the "fathers" answer? Enough amazing, ranks as the worst reviewed sitcom Metacrytic With terrible 15 "metascons". It should be noted that the page counts only titles with seven or more criticism. Leaving all the technical things, "fathers" is a failure with a wide board that lasted only one season in 19 episodes before getting the ax. The cancellation order came before the last episode to air in July 2014.

Created by Alec Salkin and Wells Wild, "Fathers" was a comedy for two successful gaming entrepreneurs/best friends (played by Seth Green and Giovanni Fish) whose lives are disturbed when their fathers need to move to them. Following is an attempt at comedy. The fathers played by Martin Mul ("term") and Peter Rigert ("mask").

The series initially received an order of six episodes from the network before being downloaded for the whole season. Fox, understandably, was bullish for his perspectives. He had McFarlin as one of the key producers and a promising cast. Plus, McFarlin came from the incredible success of his film "Ted", which earned a whopping $ 549 million at the box office, and created a sequel. and later gave her a reason for Peacock's TV show. What could go wrong?

Why did critics violently oppose "fathers" after his publication? It was labeled, largely, as a non -abusive and offensive. As an example, there is a moment when Eli from Green and fisher's Warner is forcing Veronica of Brenda Song, an American of Asian descent to dress as an anime girl to excite potential Chinese investors. Warner's father, Crawford, who plays Mull, at one point says: "You can't trust (the Chinese). There is a reason why Shanghai is a verb. " McFarlan is not unknown Controversial humor like "Family Guy" involves a terrible much of itbut did not land in this case.

Fox was well aware of the discourse and the network even released a trailer for the show (above) which includes some of the bad criticism, as Huffpost called it "offensive", along with positive comments from fans. Before the premiere of the press event in August 2013 (the Cnn), Wilde admitted to reporters that the pilot episode of "Fathers" may have had their problems, but that they would aim to fix them during the series:

"We want to continue (" fathers ") offensive and disrespectful, but most importantly, it's funny.

For Wilde's merit, it is often necessary for the show to find its foundation. McFarlan's own "Orville" needed all season to find out what should be. However, the show's reception was too acidic, and the audience was not there for Fox to give him a more rope. The second season would never have been in cards for this.

In September 2013 an interview with Hollywood reporterAs he discussed the controversy of the series and the horrific reception, executive producer Mike Stairi attacked critics, suggesting that they should show more patience:

"I think the audience is much more prepared to allow the show to develop than critics. Critics knew how to watch pilots and understood that it was just a template for what the show would be. Critics seem to have forgotten the evolution of the show and that most are starting with difficult times.

For those curious, "Fathers" is available for rent or purchase of Amazon Prime Video.
