    Apple TV+ seems to have a preoccupation with celebrity.  Art people interrested in this stuff?

    Not interesting to me but I don’t know, I remember when famous rapist Bill Cosby’s book Fatherhood was a number 1 bestseller for what seemed like years. Total fluff as far as I can tell from the trailer but people like this stuff.

    It's light hearted, compared to the current media.

    Hmmm., we must be really different. I watched the trailer and felt my heart swelling (confesses the father to two daughters, who related to just about every scene that was featured).

    I am sure there is a small but reasonably sized bunch of people who really like this kind of show. Not many at all would pay $4.99 a month for it though.

    Exactly my point. There is no reason to be cynical about this show. It will likely appeal to a large audience.

    I cried watching this trailer. As a Dad, this show means a lot. Refreshing to see some love after all the man-bashing.

    Common you don't want to hear Jimmy Kimmel talking about being a dad.  ;)

    Guess these people gotta figure out some way to stay relevant.
