Dad, Son, Daddy or Both?

[gallahadesquire]

I've notice a tendency towards "Who do I like better, Dad or Son?" in modern media.

 

Two examples:

Terra Nova, new series this year. Dad [Jason O'Mara] is hot, well built, cute ... Son [Landon Liboiron] is sultry and hot. Interestingly, there was a scene where the Son is splashing in water with his girl friend. She's in a two-piece suit. He's in jeans / shirt / hoodie. What in hell is he trying to hide? The kid is built.

 

Movie: The day after tomorrow (2004) (The year before Brokeback Mountain)

Dennis Quaid, Dad. Jake Gyllenhaal, Son. Which one, which one?

 

I think SMALLVILLE might fall into this category, but I'm not sure, was never much of a fan.

 

If we're talking "Daddy" and "Son", nothing beats Stargate: SG-1 for Richard Dean Anderson as "Colonel Jack O'Neil" and Michael Shanks as "Dr. Daniel Jackson". Woof!

 

So: Is this a trend? Am I just nuts for enjoying these kinds of pairs?

Ed O'Neill or Jesse Ferguson in Modern Family?

Ok it's not really "modern media" but how about Robert Duvall and Michael O'Keefe in "The Great Santini"?

Of course with Stargate SG-1, You also have the dynamic of General Hammond/Jack O'Neill. Especially in the first couple of seasons. Hmmm.... Sounds like a good porn story...
