and THAT is the reason my parents barely let us watch tv - it was very strictly monitored.
my dad hated friends, but my brother and i desperately wanted to watch it when we were in high school, so mum used to watch it with us... which was a good thing since my brother would laugh at the jokes, but he never really got them... and so mum would have to explain...
i plan on being very strict about television watching when i have kids... and even now i barely watch anything, especially sitcoms (i do like scrubs though... and i'm totally addicted to grey's anatomy).
I'm confused justa bit. Not because I (according to your post) am a stupid male, but because you reflect on sitcom only examples. It's not necessarily that men are stupid (although I know a few of them myself admittedly) it's that the majority of men in the acting world allow themselves to be typecast INTO those roles. It's the paycheck, it's the "hey, I'm on TV" notoriety, and seldom is it the "I'll choose this role because it's a challenge and I'll positively affect lives and make people think!" - type of decision.
Our Society accepts these roles. They watch the shows, ratings stay up, and WOW - go figure, another show appears with the SAME PREMISE!
Not to say that there's ISSUES with your entry, but perhaps a narrowmindedness (shoot, is that an actual word?) that permeates between the lines.
Maybe just state that all TV show guys are dumb. I could go for that.
Now.. don't go to my blog.... because I like humor, write occasionally mindless and silly things, and tend to make fun of anything tooo serious. BUT, according to your statements, I'd likely fall into the DUMB catagory - perhaps unjustly.
Hey, screw it. Luv ya all. Can't help it. Happy Holidays or whatever the hell I'm allowed to say nowadays...

I gotta show this blog to my wife: she'll probably agree on a lot of stuff you gals are writing! :-P
Amen Sister! Dr. James Dobson goes into great length on this issue in many of his articles and books. Men aren't acting like men because they're being taught to be spineless slobs. Somehow it's offensive to women if men are shown as leaders. My wife, 3 years my senior and a very strong woman, made it clear that I'm the man and I'm the head of the household. Imagine that. This from a woman who once held a subscription to Ms. Magazine. I know plenty of men who mirror what's on TV. Their wives run the house and the men just sit in front of the wide screen and zone out on a football game. It's pathetic and sad. The anti-male rhetoric on TV is training our boys how to reamain boys for their entire lives.
Um, Denise...have you ever considered it might be those shows you're watching? LOL
LOL - preach it, sister! I don't even watch the TV anymore. I read, read, read. Read two books yesterday and another one today. Uh, didn't get any laundry done, but who cares? It's Christmas!
I can't stand the AXE commercials. The men are completely superior even if they're being totally jerks. Beautiful women fall at their feet. I realize they're pandering to the male ego, but I really don't want boys these days to think that's an acceptable way to behave.

Denise, you are singing my song! I could also do a whole blog site on Vic Secrets and the rip-off images being portrayed to young women today.
None of it on what a real woman is and should be.
We started a young women's conference in our area to try to train the 13 - 30 year olds on what God says about them.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
