Of the following TV shows (random examples), even if you enjoyed them, how many portrayed men as strong, independent, and incorruptible:
Friends
Seinfeld
Big Bang Theory
Modern Family
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
The Office
Gone are the days of Bonanza and Perry Mason. The only men allowed to be strong on TV these days are criminals (Dexter, Breaking Bad).
My biggest annoyance is the superhero shows. Can you think of any male superhero currently on TV who: 1) Doesn't have a support network, 2) Isn't complaining about how tough his life is, and 3) Isn't constantly on the verge of losing everything to an unstoppable long-term foe?
The only superheros who are allowed to be strong on TV is female superheroes, but only in their first season (e.g. Supergirl), when they're trying to build an audience.
Let's not forget about the propaganda.

I have never watched any of these shows. Anything past the 80s is crap
B99 is actually pretty hilarious.
Big Bang used to good when it was focused on pop-culture and science humor, later they kinda ruined it by dumbing it down even more
