I'm not going to to defend this show's existence or this family's behavior, with the exception of two things:

2) Some Pack-n-Plays are hard to set up/down. I'm an awesome dad, and I can't always figure them out.

I'm not saying I like listening to Dawes, but I am saying that you should listen to Dawes, too.

I definitely didn't hate it. It was really great to hear a new rock-oriented album.

I liked Paradise better than I thought I would at the outset, but I was disappointed by the fact that it didn't even really try for…
