Bottom tier. Consistent emotional neglect of his family, and he never, ever seemed to learn anything. Or, if he did, he never retained it for more than 20 minutes. Wilson was just Sisyphus.

I just started rewatching the show and you couldn't be more wrong.

Tim always makes efforts to better himself as a man. Being there for his kids is a huge lesson of the show and it's constantly reminded to you that he lost his father at an early age, so being a good dad to his kids means the most to him.

He also actively listens to his wifes needs. He's a classic screw up but, he always comes through in the end. As much as the show is rooted in "toxic masculinity" and what it means to "be a man." It shows that men can talk about their problems (Wilson) and there are a lot of great lessons to learn.

As an aside, I also really appreciate that the show actually shows a happy marriage. Down to the little things that make it realer than other shows. In other shows the husband cracks wise and the wife just stands there rolling her eyes while the laughtrack cackles along. I love that Jill actually laughs at Tims jokes. Those kinds of details make the show what it is.
