[QUOTE="Rhyme or Reason, post: 56174, member: 9188"] Off topic, but someone mentioned The Wonder Years supporting character. I've been watching TWY on Netflix lately, and damned if it isn't quality television. Each episode has a message / moral and it's a great show for young kids to watch. The father is an asshole, but he's not portrayed as a villain. Nor is he an incompetent buffoon like all other TV dads. There's an episode where Kevin and the family are constantly intimated by him because he comes home from work in a shit mood. Kevin goes with him to work the next day and learns how hard and stressful it is to work for a living and empathizes with his dad. You'd never find that in a modern TV show. No way, no how. The mom is portrayed as not so smart but supportive and fulfills her motherly duties, not as an empowered harpy (think Malcom in the Middle). [/QUOTE]
