Dexter and Dee Dee's Dad (seasons 3 and 4)

Dad is one of the five main characters in Dexter's Laboratory. He is Dexter and Dee Dee's blond-haired father. Sadly, he was flanderized when seasons 3- and came out.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He went from a bumbling, yet loving father to a 'Butt-Monkey'-type character.
 * 2) He is much more clueless and dumber than he already was. He was even dumber in episodes like “Tee Party” and “Father Knows Least”.
 * 3) He can be a bully and pull childish pranks on his family for his own enjoyment.
 * 4) Because the show’s animation techniques were changed, his design took a significant step-down.
 * 5) Almost every episode that has a spotlight on him just represents his aforementioned flanderization.
 * 6) His jokes are trashy and mean-spirited.
 * 7) In the episode “Dad Man Walking”, his high-pitched snoring will get on your last nerve.
 * 8) In the episode "Dexter's Wacky Races" he removed the gas tank by mistake.
 * 9) In the episode "Stuffed Animal House" he angrily planned to shut down his son's lab after Dee Dee brought her stuffed animals to life.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He still cares about his family.
 * 2) He occasionally has his old persona.
 * 3) He was much better in season 1-2.
 * 4) He's still a good person.
 * 5) He does have funny moments.
 * 6) Jeff Bennett still does a fine (if not perfect) job voicing him.
 * 7) While his design did take a step-down, it still looks pretty decent.
