Daddio is an American sitcom that aired on NBC from March 23 to October 23, 2000. Created by Matt Berry and Ric Swartzwelder, the series starred Michael Chiklis and Anita Barone.
Synopsis Chris Woods (Chiklis) is a former restaurant supply salesman married to Linda, a lawyer. To accommodate Linda's demanding career, Chris decides to become a stay-at-home dad to their four children: Shannon (Cristina Kernan), Max (Martin Spanjers), Jake (Mitch Holleman), and Emily. Although Chris loves his new role, he is annoyed by Linda's well-meaning friends Holly (Suzy Nakamura) and Barb (Amy Wilson) who constantly interfere with his parenting. He must also defend his new role to his best friend Rob (Kevin Crowley) and his new neighbor Bobick (Steve Ryan), a former Marine who has more traditional expectations of a husband's and wife's roles.
The show's first season consisted of five episodes, but it was renewed for a second season of 13 episodes. However, only four were aired before NBC canceled the show in October 2000 due to low ratings.
