Heel boy!

I love how men are portrayed as lazy oafs on television. The BBC has to win an award for Bring Your Husband to Heel, which has women treat their husbands like dogs:

The corporation said the show "plays on the long-standing stereotype of wives nagging husbands about their failings".

Then there is this:

sees Clayton tackle stereotypical "husband problems" such as computer addiction and failing to do chores.

A new low.

The first time I remember seeing the husband/father figure portrayed like that was in "Married With Children" and then "The Simpsons". I don't remember which was first, but we found it scandalous.
