    I was extremely disappointed when I had found out that Father of the Pride has been cancelled! I really loved that show! How come Siegfried and Roy no longer urge NBC to continue production like they did once before? What is that all about?Dear Jeffrey Katzenberg, For the sake of your fans, please bring back Father of the Pride with more new episodes and seasons. And since Daryl Sabara is now 21, please start trying to find another child actor replacement to voice Hunter, one that sounds like Daryl Sabara. Hunter has always been my favorite character and I love him the most. Please give Father of the Pride a chance and let it keep running! Also do it for the sake of Siegfried and Roy, the ones who had urged you to continue production! And since they will not anymore for some reason, I am urging you guys to continue as I am a fan of the show. So please, bring back Father of the Pride and find a replacement voice actor for Hunter. And keep him as a young cub still, with a new young Daryl Sabara sound-a-like. Thank you.

    The animation is subpar and story lines and "humor" are predictable and stale. The main character of "Father of the Pride" is presented as the stereotypical Hollywood interpretation of the middle-class, lazy, dufus, husband/father. Most higher-thinking audiences have tired of the clichéd idiot male whose main goals in life are to drink beer and sleep. The writers' attempt to inject this otherwise clichéd character into Vegas as a lion in the Sigfreid and Roy act, to me, just doesn't work. An animated Married With Children or Rosanne is how I would best describe the humor. I gave this show a chance: I watched every episode of FOP and didn't crack a smile let alone a chuckle. For reference purposes, sitcoms I personally find funny are Seinfeld (Seasons 3 and later), The Office (Seasons 1 thru 6), and Scrubs. I'm surprised FOP made it past the 2nd episode. The animation is lackluster at best and comes across as 2-dimensional even on a high-def television. And I'm not exactly sure how they accomplished this but the voices/audio just don't seem to be in synch or don't mesh with the motion of the characters. The whole production just seems forced and unfunny. Sorry

    Father of the pride is a pleasant surprise: It is funny, witty and features some great voice acting. The show is about the family of a Lion who is acting as the attraction of Siegfried & Roy shows. Indeed all of them are stereotypes but that's what makes them so funny. FOTP is not a kiddie-cartoon it includes some crude adult humor but in a very mild way. It is full of popculture references and celebrity cameos and most of them are very well executed. I'd say I'll give the show a 7 out of ten because it is nice fairly well executed but not very original, I've seen most of those stereotypes many times before, even in that particular order!

    I expected to hate this show, but can say it is better than most TV. Still, a book beats the hell out of it. Any book. If I ever have nothing better to do, I will watch it, which is rare. It is funny (low-brow pedestrian humor, but definitely not the "sick" show another poster makes it out to be) and well-voiced. So it's a cartoon show aimed at people who can count to 100, so what! Ignore comments like TheMightyN's, the show is not meant to take the place of anyone's beloved Friends or Frasier, exactly. Catch it while you can, as they'll probably cancel it pretty quickly. Don't hold your breath, N: I doubt they'll ever give "Sherk" his own show. Did you mean Shrek?
