Why You Should Watch "Baby Daddy"

'The show is not only a comedy but you learn great life lessons'

Jan 16, 2017

Binge watching a TV show is something that is very common. Finding a new show to binge after you finish the last episode of Super Girl or How I Met Your Mother is nerve racking. Which show do you find interesting, catchy, funny, and entertaining? I know when I choose a show to binge, I must be drawn in within the first 10 minutes or my response is "see ya."

I accidentally came across Baby Daddy one day, while I was hopelessly bored with my life and scrolling through the channels. I landed on Freeform, which recently changed its name from ABC Family. I was drawn in within the first few minutes I was watching.

Baby Daddy is a show about six people: Bonnie, Danny, Tucker, Riley, Ben, and Emma. A little back story: Ben had a one night stand with a girl named Angela. She dropped a baby, Emma, off on Ben’s doorstep one day. Ben lives with his brother Danny and their friend Tucker. Ben and Danny’s mom, Bonnie, had moved to town to help take care of Emma and Tucker and Riley help whenever they can, too.

The show is not only a comedy but you learn great life lessons like when Riley gets mugged in an alley and Ben tried to help her but she pepper sprays him. The story got twisted so that Riley saved Ben and Ben was feeling less masculine, since he, as the guy, was supposed to help Riley but realized that he wouldn’t want his daughter, Emma, to feel that she can’t be the one to save someone or step up or to help when needed.

Throughout the show, they have many different life lessons. For being known as a comedy, this show is beneficial to watch. Don’t knock it until you try it.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
