This is only an issue if you really think that television is an honest reflection of reality.
So what if Homer Simpson jams crayons up his nose? Or if Peter Griffin goes psycho and pretends everything is a TV show? It's just as realistic as the "perfect father figure". "Leave it to Beaver" and "Married: With Children" are equally nonrealistic, just on different extremes.
It's television. It's up to you when to turn it off.
