It all started with “The Life of Reilly” TV show. I’m just sayin’
I think it started before that show. Unless I’m confusing shows... there was a show with a stupid dad and his kids were real crappy... it was on in late 60s, maybe early 70s... even as a kid I hated that show because it made the dad seem so stupid. I’m not talking ‘Father Knows Best,’ which I liked... The actor’s name was Danny something, and his real-life daughter was an actress in her own right... whatever that show was, I absolutely hated it. I thought shows couldn’t show dads any dumber... Oi. Was I wrong.
