Pop culture loves moms, pretty much unequivocally.
Dads?
Well dads are a little more complicated.
There are “Father Knows Best” dads — such as Jim Anderson, Ward Cleaver, Danny Tanner, or Jay Pritchard — they might be a bit goofy, gruff or distant, but on the whole they are their family’s level-headed center.
There are the “Father Is A Little Clueless” dads — Rob Petrie, Homer Simpson, Tim Taylor or Phil Dunphy — good hearts, love their families but if left to their own devices by Laura, Marge, Jill or Claire for too long something will go wrong.
