I think this is the first TV Dad on a major network who is not respected by his kids - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm watching this show and cannot believe my eyes. I can't believe a father character is on ABC and is not getting respect from his son or daughters. This show seems like it should be on FOX instead of ABC. Does anybody agree that Paul is not a strong father character? I can't stand to see a FATHER character who keeps getting treated like the family idiot.

It is a TV SHOW for crying out loud. Did you see the tag scene? Apparently not.

I know it's a TV show but it's not everyday a TV Dad is disrespected by his kids on a major network. I didn;t see the tag scene because I couldn't take anymore. Are you trying to say he was treated with respect in the tag?

A sitcom is suppose to be funny, did they treat Al Bundy with respect--no. Yes, the whole family got together at the end, very touching.

Hey Solomon take it easy, it's only a TV Show. Hey have you ever heard of a show called "Married With Children". Compared to Kelly and Bud Bundy, Bridget, Kerry, and Rory are saints. Maybe it has something to do with Katie Segal playing the mom. But at least her characater in this show works all the time, and tries to be nice to her husband. When was Peggy ever nice to Al.

Exactly. SOLOMON has to learn to enjoy television, instead of criticizing every little detail, check every other board for examples, LOL!!

So what do you want the kids to do? Read bibles all day or say "Hi daddy, can we get your slippers?" For your information, the kids DO really like dad, they are teenagers, of course they are going to act like that.

FOX is a major network by the way, it has been since the early-mid 90's, and when I last re-call Married With Children was still on then.

Married with children was on Fox in 87 and fox was no where near major at the time. This is my first time seeing something like this on ABC, CBS, or NBC

Have you heard of Step by Step? The kids fight all the time and hate their step-parents, but of course, they do really like each other. You really need to back your statements.

You said Step parents-i'm talking about real parents. Just give some more examples because i'm not sure if this is the first time it happened.

And the funny part is, that you like Married With Children it seems. I like it too, but the kids on MWC are animals compared to these kids.

I like the show-i'm just shocked at how the father is treated. I do like the show it justs makes me thinks of MWC when the mother helps the kids disrespect the dad.
