In this age of information overload, it's pretty easy to research your way in or out of a decision. But sometimes life gets in the way and makes the decision for you. In Fatherhood, Hank Azaria's new web series with AOL On and mom.me [1], the actor sets out to make an informed decision about starting a family with his longtime girlfriend. But when fate steps in and he finds himself on the verge of fatherhood, he does what any good dad-to-be would do, he turns to his friends for advice — albeit Azaria's friends include such famous fathers as Kevin Bacon [2], Richard Kind, Bryan Cranston, Willie Garson, and Mike Myers [3] (to name a few). As Azaria tweeted [4], "I asked a bunch of famous dads questions that I would have asked even if I wasn't filming them...but I was filming them."

The first episode of the series, which premieres today, is full of Azaria's expected humor, but it is the touching moments — I dare you not to shed a tear when Bacon speaks about fatherhood — that ring true for experienced parents. Take a look, and you'll agree. This funnyman may have made the most serious film about fatherhood we've ever seen.

New episodes of Fatherhood will appear every Wednesday through March on mom.me [5].
