Recently rewatched Dinosaurs (the 90s puppet sitcom). They do an excellent job of pointing this out, especially in the episode "dirty dancing"

Screenshot of Dinosaurs TV show showing a TV with show titles "father knows nothing", "dad's a big moron", "simpleton father", and "brain dead dad".

Earl immediately points out how TV sucks because they make one hit TV show with a premise and then a 50 more of the same after. Then the whole episode is about Fran (his wife) nagging him to be a good father to their son, and him being useless and lazy dad stereotype.

Great show. So much still relevant.
