The Underrated Family Sitcom You Can Binge On Hulu Right Now

You know the old story — Boy meets girl. Boy and girl have a one-night stand. Girl drops off the child they have together at the boy's doorstep years later, forcing him to get his act together. 

That's pretty much the premise of Baby Daddy, which sees Ben Wheeler (Jean-Luc Bilodeau) having to give up the bachelor lifestyle prematurely when he's forced to be a father to Emma. Fortunately, he gets some help along the way courtesy of his two best friends, Riley (Chelsea Kane) and Tucker (Tahj Mowry). At the beginning of the series, Baby Daddy gets a lot of mileage out of seeing Ben struggle to figure out how exactly to be a dad, from changing a diaper to coming up with babysitting schedules. But as it goes on, the audience sees these characters grow and become the adults they were always meant to be. 

It's an easy, breezy kind of watch, perfect for the times when you want equal parts humor and heart. In her review for the show's first season, Diane Werts of Newsday wrote in 2012, "[Baby Daddy] knows when to drop a punch line, when to work the awww factor, and when to get all Sentimental Message Time about characters learning to believe in themselves." 

It may only take a few episodes to find yourself getting sucked in, and before you know it, you're joining thousands of other fans by signing the petition to bring it back for season 7.
