I n real life, we're not that common. There's me, there's George Lucas, and there's Prince Charles. Okay, there's probably a few others, too.
TV is different.
The norm appears to be a bunch of single guys raising kids by themselves or with kind and thoughtful housekeepers. People who watched these shows, who acted in these shows, who wrote these shows, write and tell details about the productions, the broadcasts, and the cancellations of these hundred-odd series. There's arguments on what killed a show, on whether or not this or that character should be called a TV Single Dad, interviews and emails countering and re-examining arguments about the genre itself. If you know of a show I missed, send me the information you have about the show, and I will add it to the list. This isn't about television, it's about real life.
