Because sit com production and writing is the province of homosexuals and woke women

Peg: “Did you miss me, Al?”
Al: “With every bullet so far.”

The answer is VERY SIMPLE. There are no ‘Men’s Groups’ or ‘Men’s Leader’ to sue the TV shows, so no fear of offending men...which is why they can go as far as telling every man they’re a Racist without fear of retribution.

Don’t need to spend years of research or have academic degrees to figure that out, either.

From Homer Simpson to Phil Dunphy, sitcom dads have long been known for being bumbling and inept.

Inept yet more often than not to have inexplicably been able to bag a great looking wife.

I liked the Futurama episode when "Leela" became "Peg"

Guess I’m in the minority. I don’t get my views on family from sitcoms, social media or late night talk shows.

From Homer Simpson to Phil Dunphy, sitcom dads have long been known for being bumbling and inept.


On a side note, Homer Simpson’s character wasn’t always the bumbling oaf as he is portrayed today. In the early seasons he was a bit more thoughtful and caring for his family. And he often made tough discipline decisions such as the episode where he grounded Bart from seeing the Itchy and Scratchy movie with the hopes someday Bart could grow up to be a Supreme Court Justice.

This YouTube video gives a nice overview of how they ruined Homer:

The three things you actually need: Mouthwash, a back wax and stain-proof underwear.

That episode was hilarious.

The same reason why dads on commercials are so inept. People seem to think it’s funny.

Have you read the story of Tim Allen’s life? Imprisoned for dealing cocaine, a drug addict, met the Lord in prison and got saved,
