I noticed most sitcoms have that overused Goofy Fun Dad/Serious Stern Mom trope (e.g. Home Improvement, Simpsons, Malcolm). Are there any sitcoms where the roles are reversed, where the mom is fun and outgoing and the dad is stern and bitter?
One possible example I can think of, Beverly and Murray from The Goldbergs. Maybe Bob and Linda Belcher can fit in this category
