Cartoon challenge
At dinner tonight my family and I started discussing cartoons (when you have 6, 9, and 11 year old boys, it's a common topic). The boys started talking about how stupid the dad was on Jimmy Neutron. My wife made a comment that it was too bad that the cartoon showed the dad being such a doofus. I asked the boys what cartoon they watched showed the dad being smart (or at least not an imbecile). We struggled to find any. We discovered that shows made for girls are more likely to have a competent father figure.

My challenge to you... Name the cartoons on TV where the dads are competent.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was blind but now I see

Johnny Quest.

Other than that, I'm drawing a blank. The only other one that comes close could be Dexter's Lab, depending upon how you view the actual reality of Dexter's lab on the show (there are times when I feel that it's completely imaginary).

Oh, and BTW, I thought of a cartoon aimed at girls that is does not follow your rule: The Proud Family.

The fathers from Rugrats were fairly competent overall. I hated that show though.

You know, you could expand this sadness into the whole realm of television - the number of good fathers represented is vanishingly small.

Good points, but I think that if you compare the role of fathers on television as they've regressed over the past 50 years, you'll see that they are becoming much more mocked and less revered.

I've had many conversations with my wife in which we discuss how I feel this is actually more damaging than violence on television for youngsters.

Thats true, and probably the reason I couldn't think of anything more recent.

Oh another good example would be Home Improvement.

None of which are on the air in anything but syndication. Everybody Loves Raymond gets a nod from most. And I didn't say nonexistant... just vanishingly small
