We all like the sitcom very much. We watch it on Netflix from Australia. As a father, I am a bit concerned that the writers of the men roles are not showing the men as model male to the young but are either "soft males' or a bit low in IQ or funny-silly or not aware of others but themselves and need the women to guide them. Give the men a masculine energy that teaches the viewers (men and women) examples to imitate and develop a self that is secure in their gender. A comment from US media: Whereas 50 years ago, advertising, Hollywood and television was filled with examples of positive masculine role models that young men could look up to, today’s entertainment industry routinely portrays men as clueless and bumbling oafs at best (think Homer Simpson, Everybody Loves Raymond, Married with Children) or at worst as aggressive sexual predators. Since advertising is primarily aimed at women, men in commercials are also now routinely depicted as either being emasculated losers or stupefied morons. Young men consuming this content grow up thinking that it is acceptable and even encouraged to aspire to these character traits. In doing so, they are robbed of their natural masculinity and find it extremely difficult to attract well-rounded women, who are rightly disgusted by such behaviour.
