This is actually true for most comedy shows. Like you said, men do idiot stuff and women pull them back on track / are the voice of reason.
I believe this comes from two reasons:
- We are more inclined to believe men try and do dumb stuff. And we're more receptive, culturally, to men having "bad traits".
- TV's main demographic is women. Therefore, the "relatable character" ends up being a woman.
[EDIT] Why is the parent being downvoted? The imbalance may be bad, and the first step in fighting it is to understand why it happens.
- MollyR 10y agoIn one of my college marketing classes, I've heard something similar as the reasoning for commercials as well.
- Vaskivo 10y agoYep. But, there is one thing in TV that is totally men dominated. Sports. I'm not an expert on the matter, but it's what I've read somewhere. Funilly, I don't know how the demographics for News Channel are, but I'd expect it to be pretty even.
