That '90s Show's season 1 premiere features a perfect moment in which Eric's greatest fears come true when making his father Red proud of him.

Red was actually a very kind man and a good father, he only got mad if someone did something in his home he did not like. In one scene after allowing him to stay in his home, Hyde actually hugged Red in thanks.
