Fear the Toon!!!!

Everyone can agree that Nickleodeon star Jimmy Neutron's dad, Hugh, is not a great role model for papa bears. He does seem to love Jimmy as much if not more than anything else — although the apparent Adult ADD doesn't make the a particularly meaningful.

But still, this is the show you don't let your kids watch because of the image of a dumb dad? Apparently it is for the Florida family of seven McKeens. McKeen père was quoted in a Washington Times story about evil media (TV and advertising) and their conspiracy to promote the image of dodo daddies. This, of course, is undoing years of good work by shows such as "Father Knows Best" and "The Flintstones", among other treasures.

** If the image of the dad at home is praiseworthy, you probably have nothing to fear from outside images. **
