<p>No telling what season three/2011 will bring for The SAHD and The Milkmen. We've got 2 new projects in the works to satiate the fans we've won over with this character.

We've launched two new episodes entitled <a href="http://www.atom.com/channel/channel_stay_at_home_dad/?v=sahd_myth_2">'Audacity of Myth: Part II'</a> (co-starring Larry Ballard and Amy Raudenbush) and <a href="http://www.atom.com/channel/channel_stay_at_home_dad/?v=sahd_past">'Ass From the Past' </a>(co-starring Christina Craig and Matty Gallagher). Both shot up into the Atom.com top five in three days. Collectively the first three episodes are nearing 200 thousand views. Its so fun to watch the horsie run run run.</p>
<p>Besides the web, our 'pilot' version of TSAHD premiered last Thursday at the Portsmouth Music Hall/<a href="http://www.nhfilmfestival.com/">NH Film Festival</a> to a nice crowd of a few hundred who literally cackled the entire time. Laughter doesn't lie, and people laughed so much, well--it made us very happy. Very happy. After the screening, Adam Jones (Director), Trevor Herrick (Producer), and Alan Bendich (Actor) fielded a few questions for an enthusiasticly offended audience. One woman asked Adam, 'So do you have a problem looking at yourself in the mirror after what you've made?' To which Adam responded, 'Thanks, that's a valid question and the answer is no. On the contrary it's liberating to celebrate the ID in a guy's head, to say the things he could never say.' Then she thanked us.</p>

<p><span>The Stay-At-Home Dad is already getting the attention of some of the 'DaddyBlogs'... </span></p>
<p><span><a href="http://www.dadwagon.com/2010/09/29/sahd-season-2/">DadWagon.com</a> writes, "entertaining stuff for anyone who has ever felt estranged and vaguely emasculated by the pressure of socializing nicely all day in a world of moms. In the vast sewer of shitty dad content out there, The Stay-At-Home Dad stands apart. It makes fun of all the things we as parents are not supposed to talk about. Actually its more of an anti-pc show seen through the eyes of a stay at home dad." </span></p>
<p><span><a href="http://www.dadlabs.com/forum/Welcome/Feedback-and-Suggestions/The-Stay-At-Home-Dad-Web-Series.html#5234">DadLabs.com</a> writes, "I have to say I laughed out loud, but then asked myself should I be laughing. And that's comedy. It makes fun of all the things we as parents are not supposed to talk about. The show has the comedic timing and writing and willingness to make fun of parenting a la 30 rock."</span></p>
<p><span><a href="http://www.moderndaydad.com/2010/06/new-stayathome-dad-web-series-on-atomcom.html">ModernDayDad.com</a> writes, "But best of all, it portrays an At-Home Dad that's neither some sort of lame, emasculated super-Dad, nor a bumbling all-thumbs idiot. The Dad in the show is just kind of a surly a-hole. And although he's certainly not the typical At-Home Dad, he might be that Dad we secretly feel like in the back of our minds...Until they do an episode where it's supposed to be funny because he can't change a diaper, I'm going to give it the thumbs up."</span></p>
<p><span><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/2010/07/stay-at-home-dad-on-comedy-central.html">NYCDadsGroup.com</a> writes, "We know there are too many stereotypes out there about Stay-At-Home Dads.&nbsp; What happens when a humorous stay-at-home dad decides to create a comedy to poke fun at the role? Well, you might agree that you shouldn't like these video clips...but, come on, they are really hilarious!"</span></p>
<p><span>We have a lot more where that came from. The Stay-At-Home Dad is just gettin' warmed up.</span></p>

<p style="padding-left: 210px;"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="http://nytvf.com/"><img src="http://themilkmen.com/storage/Picture 3.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1284223708851" alt="" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><em>Prick</em> centers around Merrick, an over-stimulated, womanizing, provocateur/photographer who sleeps his way around the world photographing beautiful models for men's magazines. Merrick's misogynistic douche-baggery is reminiscent of The Stay-At-Home Dad--except he's single, childless, and surrounded by the bling of high fashion and jet-setting.</p>
<p>The winning script gets a $25,000 prize and a development deal with Fox. Either way we are proud of our Milkbrother, and we look forward to bringing Merrick's character and <em>Prick</em> to the screen very soon. The script can be downloaded to read <a href="http://www.themilkmen.com/projects/">HERE</a>.</p>

I think it was Buddha, or Charlie Sheen who once said, &ldquo;Have a good time, all the time.&rdquo; I subscribe to that philosophy as well.
