A modern generation of animated sitcoms shows a rarity in the genre: well-adjusted fathers.

Idk that anyone in their right minds would ever call Big Mouth’s Elliot Birch “well-adjusted,” but he’s certainly different from classically idiotic Homer Simpson or unhinged Randy Marsh.
The titular Bob Burger would probably be a better example.
Gayle would say Bob's the perfect father.
Agreed. But the best animated father right now is Bandit.
