Diaries of an Average Black Dad is a heartfelt Canadian sitcom that follows Michael Lincoln, a father of three trying to rewrite his life story in the wake of his father’s passing. Once content with being “regular,” Michael is now chasing purpose—one life lesson, parenting fail, and awkward therapy session at a time. Whether it’s spa mishaps, date-night disasters, or mock-dating his daughter to teach her about love, Michael’s quest to live fully never goes smoothly—but it always goes deep.

Told through diary-style voiceovers and grounded in cultural authenticity, this show brings a fresh perspective to the sitcom space. It’s not just a “Black show”—it’s a family show through a Black lens. Think Black-ish meets The Wonder Years with a dash of The Office confessionals.
