My Two Dads is an American sitcom that starred Staci Keanan, Paul Reiser and Greg Evigan. It aired on NBC from 1987 to 1990 and was produced by Michael Jacobs Productions in association with TriStar Television and distributed by TeleVentures. The show begins when Marcy Bradford , the mother of twelve year old Nicole Bradford , dies. The two men who had competed for the woman's affections before Nicole was born — Michael Taylor , a... successful financial advisor; and struggling artist Joey Harris , former friends who hated one another because of their mutual interest in Marcy — are awarded joint custody of Nicole. The mix-ups of two single men raising a teenage daughter provided the story each week. Judge Margaret W. Wilbur , a family court judge who awarded custody of Nicole to Michael and Joey, would frequently visit the new family and served as Nicole's mentor. This was because she had bought the building in which Joey lived and was now the live-in landlord.
