Dads on TV

I really started to think about dad's and how they are portrayed in TV roles on today's popular shows. The first typical "dad" stereotype that comes to mind is the silly, stupid, incompetent, lazy dad-the one who forgets everything, doesn't help with the kids, and always manages to get himself into tight (but comical) situations. Everybody Loves Raymond, According to Jim, King of Queens, Family Guy, and My Wife and Kids are a few prime time shows that fit into this generic mold. Another stereotype I can think of would be the dads that are too busy with the hustle and bustle of life, and are disinterested and disconnected from the family. Some of these dad's include Meredith Grey's dad on Grey's Anatomy, and a few of the fathers on Desperate Housewives. These are the dads that are consumed by alcohol addiction and or something else that keeps them from being attentive to their wives and children. And lastly is the "All-American Dad." He's dependable and trustworthy, and fully capable of making decisions while keeping the best interest of the family in mind. An example of this could be the dad from 7th Heaven. Sadly--that is the only "dependable dad" that came to my mind.
This is a big shift from a few decades ago when all dads were portrayed as the patriarichal leader of the family, the breadwinner, and the go-to-guy for all the tough stuff. Funny how things change.
