ITT characters who only exist to be shit on >Loving father

It WAS a subversion of the wise, respectable sitcom father trope built up years ago. But young writers see parodies and twists and internalize them, then make them the norm when they grow up amd get into the industry

Blame the Al Bundy tv show, it's what introduced non perfect family sitcoms

Did Oscar even win once in the show?

What's the general consensus on The Proud Family? It's rarely brought up here. Personally I liked it a lot as a kid

I'll always remember their unique episode on "girl power", where Penny joins the football team and then ultimately loses the big game.

I'd never before seen a "girl power" episode of a TV show that demonstrated the capacity for girls to fail at something despite working really hard.

Kudos, Proud Family

No, it was not. The stupid, incompetent father was the rule in that time.

but he wins sometimes

I liked it as a kid, but after trying to rewatch it recently, it just wasn't clicking with me. The animation also wasn't nearly as nice as I remember it being.

Part of that has to do with how it was an early Flash-animated show, so many of its episodes don't hold up all that well compared to the episodes animated in Korea.

Oscar and the mexican dad were the best characters.
I'd just watch a show with them.

Throw in the mexican granddad as well.

Maybe they don't respect him because he's a highly talented man doing the ONE thing he's not good at?

There was the time Wizard Kelly hosted a competition thing where Penny was chosen to pick a basketball player to make a basket from half court for a million dollars. Since her dad was technically a basketball player in high school, he counted, but Penny spent all episode saying she wouldn't even consider it, hurting Oscar's pride. When game time happened, Penny remembered how her dad felt and chose him, and he went to the court. Despite Wizard Kelly mocking Oscar, the entire audience started chanting and cheering for Oscar, and after some intense buildup he ended up making the shot. Wizard Kelly decided to be a fucking asshole (as usual) by paying the family one million "Wizard Bucks" (only useable at like two places in town), but it didn't change the fact that Oscar won the episode.

I would have murdered Wizard Kelly. But at least Oscar got to be happy, at least once.
