the ny times john tierney chimes in with the doofus dad [bugmenot login]. tierney lists some of the categories of character flaws assigned to today's tv dad along with possible explanations for the reason. further, tierney utilizes scholarly studies in his argument.
Still, no matter how much Dad does in real life, I think he'll remain a doofus on television, and not just because he's a safe target and makes the female sitcom audience laugh. He makes men laugh, too - the men who watch him and the ones who create him.
