You don't cast Derek Theler to be the concentration camp victim or the sickly nerd. Here he shows off what he brings to the HD table while acting in the comedy "Baby Daddy" for the ABC Family channel. Personally, Big Don finds another Disney owned channel with "family" in the name about as fun as a trip to the restroom at EPCOT. But I can see why Derek was cast. He is tall, superfit, handsome and a good actor/comic.

How un-typical of the family channel. Show a lot of skin for ratings!  I guess they are desperate for ratings in these dark economic times. They do have a huge number of other channels they compete with. What is a global media conglomerate to do? To think that the original founder of the channel that became "ABC Family" was founded by Christian televangelist Pat Robertson.  He must be spinning in his grave, if he were dead yet. And I sure wish Pat Robertson was!

Not having watching anything about the show other than this clip, I will have to trust Wikipedia when I tell you "The series follows Ben, a guy in his twenties, who gets the surprise of his life when a one night stand leaves her baby at his doorstep. Ben decides to raise his little girl with the help of his brother, Danny, his two close friends, Riley and Tucker, and his mother, Bonnie."

Theler plays a pro hockey player who is the only one who knows that some girl loves his brother or something. Anyway, the soundtrack has the laughs added later in post as they all run 'round  big, brightly lit sets with candy colored furniture placed just so.
