Red Forman

Red Forman appears on both That '70s Show and That '90s Show. Red is a gruff veteran with a dry sense of humour who served in WWII as a US Navy sailor aboard a sunk Destroyer in the Pacific, as well as in Korea as a sailor. Red enjoys hunting and fishing as hobbies. His wife's name is Kitty Forman. He is a grumpy, tough, no-nonsense father who favors his daughter Laurie, whom he is unaware is extremely promiscuous, and is shrewd over his son Eric, whom he considers soft and wimpy, frequently calling him a dumbass.

On occasion, Red's health has been made fun of. In the third and sixth seasons, he is briefly put on a diet that requires him to cut out red meat and other foods that he generally enjoys, and he is forced to eat "healthy" food that is good for him but tastes like garbage, in stereotypical sitcom fashion. He defies the diet on both occasions by eating "real food" behind Kitty's back.
