One of my professors in college stated to me:"if you want to see a change in others...you might start with yourself"
Don't REACT to situations(unless you have to run for your life, etc), but think first.
Maybe ask him why he does not respect what you are watching(but DON'T raise your voice), ask him softly(like a woman). Tell him you want a better relationship with the only father you have, and ask him also what does he think that could be done to bring you closer. Maybe include your mother in on this. Sometimes it is the child who becomes the teacher. Start somewhere with small bites...try to make a joke when adversity strikes, or even smile. It disarms the other person, and calms the situation.

sit down and have a talk with him. tell him how he makes you feel when he makes those comments. let him know that he is hurting you. i'm sure he is just saying those things to tease you and not hurt you and once you tell him that he is hurting you, he will stop. and that is no reason to hate your father. that man brought you into this world, feeds you, clothe you, and keeps a roof over your head. you better be greatful for that and love him. i could see if he was calling you names and always putting you down and saying that you would never amount to any thing but he is just saying you watch too much tv. maybe you do. and maybe you need to spend that time doing something else more constructive, like homework or a club in school, hang out with your friends. that is just his way of telling you he wants to see you do more than just watch tv.

Sounds like your dad is really opinionated. Mine is like that too.... mine was just more violent. He would comment on everything i did, and if i ever screwed anything up, like not doing all the dishes, i would get slammed against a wall, or kicked.....anywho, enough about me......... If you have a dad that is stubbornly opinionated, there isnt much you can do, but smile and turn the other cheek. If you tell him that you are hurt or anything he will probobly just say "oh, im just joking get over it!" or something like that.
I think that joking is no big deal, and you shouldnt get so upset. I have scars on my body from my dad, and i still love him with all my heart. Joking is nothing, i wish my dad was joking when he told me that i was a piece of s*it.
take it with a grain of salt, it could be a lot worse

Are my Dad and your Dad related?! My Dad does the same thing, criticizes me, yells, fights. And I yell back and fight and criticize him as well. We swear at one another. It's like a none ending war between the 2 of us. Although I find that when we cook together it's like we're normal. I love to cook and my Dad likes it to, so I guess doing something that you both like can maybe stop the yelling and that.
He pisses me off to no end, I'm not sure how to make him stop, I would like to know my self honestly.
Although having my Mom makes up for all the crap he does. So I don't really care about it anymore, plus when he yells at me it gives me a reason to yell back and let out my frustration lol
Well good luck with everything, I hope you get some good advice.

He's very right----all the tv on is crap.
Stop taking yourself so seriously.
Dads are supposed to get you in touch with reality and bring you down to earth. They teach you lessons about the real world, without prettying things up, like Moms do.
Most of the time we don't want to know about reality, but that won't change it.
Treasure him and listen to him, and try to find tv-shows you both enjoy.

Perhaps you could find a show you both like an watch that together or if you can't find a show you like find some other activity that you both enjoy doing together.

Your dad knows it affects you and thats why he continues to try and hurting you.
Do you have any older sibling? He may favor them more. You shouldn't give him any reason to treat you worse.
just ignore him. once he sees it no longer affects you he will realize that there is no use trying to make you feel bad about yourself.

that sounds crazy! you may think you hate your dad, but trust me, when your older you will cherish your parents and everything that is happening now, you will look back on and probably laugh. You will see it when you have children
