Who's Your Daddy -- Lot's of Bad Press

'Who's Your Daddy?' is a ratings dud: Television viewers gave a collective shrug to Fox's attempt to turn a daughter's search for her birth father into a game show.

Fox's Daddy Doesn't Draw Crowd: Fox's much-maligned Who's Your Daddy reality special was no match for "Who's your top college-football team?" -- the Nokia Sugar Bowl Monday night -- or Fear Factor on NBC, or Still Standing on CBS, for that matter.

Fox reaches a new low with 'Daddy' show: The process of helping any child grow into a caring and confident adult is hard enough. But to do so in an ever-coarser culture where a person's deep psychological or physical needs are fodder for a game show? It's almost too hideous to contemplate.
