Or do you think he was just right?

Seems most of the time when he tried to intervene between the girls and guy he thought was a creep he ended up hitting a wrong guy.

Usually the girls were pretty good about taking care of things themselves.

I guess an exception was the Season 2 episode where Jack and Chrissy came in on time to avoid having Peter Van Horn rape Janet. That was one time Jack's intervening was helpful.

Never could stand Jack's hypocrisy. It was okay for him to try to screw all these girls he went out with, but if some guy tried to make it with the girls he wanted to kill them. I guess it was just Jack was exhibiting normal brotherly behavior and treated Janet and the other girls like sisters.

Never having a sister I guess I never understood the male idea of "I'm going to try to screw every chick I go out with, but no guy better mess with my sister". Aren't all girls somebody's sister/daughter? :lol:

I agree with you--the girls could take care of themselves. Having a man around for protection is a nice idea, but in reality everyone could take care of themselves. I think on Jack's part it was brotherly love, as you said, but I also think he felt kind of pressured to assert his machismo to prove that he was a real man's man. I think he, more than the roommates, had it in his brain that "he was the man around the house" and therefore was obligated to be the leader and/or protector. But the girls reminded him often that that just wasn't necessary.

It's funny, but I think Jack was just as meddling (or more so) than any mother or friend could ever be....sometimes it seemed like he wanted to interfere just for something to do. On many occasions he's been told by one of the other roommates to "leave it alone" and he can't help himself (season 4 "Baby Makes Two," for example).

All of these contradictions temper the fact that Jack was with a girl every night---and anyways, the truth was that he wasn't very macho, and whenever he tried to overcompensate, he always was kicked in the pants to bring him back to reality. However, he succeeded enough times to avoid Furley territory.
