Did this hit sitcom strike a responsive chord with any of you?  

I loved it...especially Kelly <smile>

Did
the family remind you of some that you know?

Nope, not a soul.  But it did remind me of the plight of men and
fathers.

Tom

(Denise) How so, Tom?

Powerlessness.  The men in the family, Al and Bud, were totally at the
mercy of both women in the family as well as women in the society as a
whole.  Remember "NOMAM"?  The organization that Al and his buddies
formed to combat their enslavement by women?  Their enslavement was so
total that even that was buffoonery.  I know it was meant to be an
exaggeration and a tongue in cheek nod to the female nature of
selfishness and control, but there was not only some truth to it,
there was more truth to it than they could seriously acknowledge.

Comedy is said to consist of truth and pain.  That sitcom had both in
spades.

(Denise) Tom, on a MWC episode, Kelly Bundy prepped a suitor to meet
her father. "Talk about sports and body functions," she advised.
"Those are the only things he's interested in."
    Is this true of most men?

What do you think?  Take your interests as a woman and multiply them
by four and that's men's interests <smile>>>

(Denise) I'm not very interested in most sports (although I'll
occasionally watch tennis, soccer, and a few other sports) and don't
like to talk about body functions. I have quite a few and disparate
interests. Al Bundy's number of interests were said to be only two.
Are sports and body functions really the only things that interest
most men?

No. I hate both. Sports are dominated by rich corporate folks and
have lost most of it's reality and excitement as a result. People who
go to minor league games like Grizzlie, or other low wage sports with
little corporate involvement, are the true fans.

Body function concern is a "girl thing".

Any other interests you'd like me to comment on in regards to sex?

Tom



    Would you regard this as misandrist myth or masculine truth?

Coming from Kelly, I would regard it as masculine truth <smile>
