We have seen several TV comedies that feature men behaving badly. The UK’s Fawlty Towers started in 1975 and features John Cleese as Basil Fawlty, a character who proved that men could behave very badly indeed. Basil was petty, selfish, vain, incompetent, and very likely the inspiration for a series that was actually called — to make the point with perfect clarity — Men Behaving Badly.
