Hoo-yeah, major problem. I don't own a television, but when I do see it... god, I feel like projectile vomiting. Look at any prime time pacification medium for your examples. Every male lead is a thickheaded moron who does "manly" things at the cost of neglecting or offending his wife, children, and friends.

Why do men watch that kinda crap? I'm offended if I just see the stupid ads.

Where are the intelligent, responsible, and non-violent XY heroes on TV?
