Since I don't take TV that seriously in the first place, I don't even view fathers as being like that. Although I don't like a lot of those shows because they portray the men as being stupid. It isn't just American comedy which does this, also British comedy is a big offender. They like to portray the fathers as being grumpy old men. The only thing I don't like about these shows is it teaches women how NOT to treat their husbands. Women should treat their husbands with love and respect, and not make them look stupid or make fun of them in a nasty way. A lot of those shows play on that type of comedy eg We Love Raymond (I think, although I don't watch it, I've seen reviews on that show).
