Meet Mister Mom

Has anyone else seen the ads for this show (which I believe will air on NBC)? The basic premise is that they take a family, the mom leaves for a week, and dad has to take care of the kids. My problem? The ads make it sound like there's no way in hell these dads can do the mom's job. What the fuck? What if they took a stay at home mom and made infered that there was no way in hell she could do her husband's job? I swear women would take to the streets and protest that shit. But as long as we're saying a man can't do what his wife does, it's ok? I don't know about the rest of you, but my dad had no problem handling me and my brother. My mom worked 12 hour night shifts 3 days a week as a nurse so she slept a lot during the day. If there's a father out there who can't handle his kids for a week while his wife is away, he wasn't much of a dad to begin with. I'm just calling bullshit on their ads that make it look like the dad totally melts down while his wife is gone. Now before anyone bitches and moans, yes, I realize that being a stay at home parent is probably hard work. But why the fuck is NBC attempting to point out that men would fail where women succeed? I'd like to see the dads stay home for a week while the moms go do their jobs...simple role reversal. Don't send mom to a spa and make dad look like a jackass. I fucking hate TV (except for Law & Order and Adult Swim, of course).
