In every commercial, and in every sitcom. The kids now teach dad the life lesson of the show, if there even is one.
I think “The King of Queens” is probably a fairer show because the women characters on that show have their problems too and the guys can call them on it. “Seinfeld” also was fairer when it came to going after both genders pretty equally. Best show out there right now however is “King of the Hill.” Got a good strong dad character on there - not a perfect guy but dang good, I tell you what.
You must have read my tagline......;)
I too, cannot stand the way sitcoms portray men. Shows like ‘Yes Dear’ and ‘Raymond’, the men are bumbling fools, terrified of the women.
I recall one Lowes commercial(maybe HomeDepot) where the husband is afraid to say he’s done with the house renovations (actually he is HIRING them to do the renovations because everyone who watches TV knows that men are too stupid to make decisions and do home improvement). Another commercial, the dad\husnband is messy up several projects and the wife actually tells the husband to ‘put down the hammer’. Also where the husband is in the store calling the wife to make sure he gets the right appliance.
Others like CircuitCity show a grown man hiding and playing the video games in the store while the wife does the important job of buying the electronic equipment. the wife finds the guy and scolds him while he drops the game and pretends he wasn’t playing. He cowers down and walks away with her with his head down.
Makes me sick....
