>Home Improvement was, I think, the last sitcom that let a male main character be a man. At least until Parks and Rec (and Ron is such an over inflated symbol of machismo that he isn't a realistic portrayal of manliness). Tim Taylor was a successful man, who ran his family along-side his wife. He did manly shit. He loved tools, he tinkered and repaired and broke shit. He had a project car in his garage that he took years to complete. He may have been haphazard, but he wasn't a dope. He spent man-time with other males, ribbing Al, advising his audience and getting advice from his wise older neighbor. For the sake of comedy, he did break shit all the time, but he wasn't some fat, sarcastic dopey cuck like you see on every show now adays. He compromised with Jill and she with him. He presented himself well, and was respected by his followers and colleagues and children. He was also compassionate, understanding, and able to accept when he was wrong. He was as much a male role model as you can find in a sitcom, and it's sad that American TV does not have father characters like this any more.
