I'm sure there are plenty more that feed into the notion that Dad( or men in general), can't get their shit together. Look back as far as the Honeymooners-man screws up, wife bails him out or becomes the voice of logic. In way too many of 'family shows' and movies such as Cheaper By the Dozen, even the kids are portrayed as having more sense than their fathers and the mothers are the picture of sanity and organization....they oughta visit my house some weekend!
