TV Land's Top Ten TV Dads

[thatshortguy]

First of all, a little backstory:

Colds suck. They make you have to stay inside all the time.

Addams Family marathons rule.

Colds suck. They make you get little sleep.

48-straight hours of the Addams Family rule.

It was a glorious mixture.

Anyways, throughout parts of the marathon, TV Land would air advertisements for their Top 10 Best TV Dads shindig they'll be doing soon. Which got me to thinking, ten good TV dads? The best I could do was:

1. Homer Simpson

2. Gomez Addams

3. Dan Conner

4. Tony Soprano

5. Archie Bunker

6. Fred Sanford

7. Al Bundy

8. Peter Griffin

9. Frank Costanza

10. Herman Munster

10. Father Dougal

[Guest bruins72]

Hmmm... this is a tough one. Both of you listed some good ones. What do we base this on though. Best charcters or the ones that were actually the best dads? I'll go with it from the idea of them just being the best characters that were dads rahter than how good a dad the characters were.

1. Homer Simpson

2. Al Bundy

3. Peter Griffin

4. Frank Costanza

5. Dan Conner

6. Tony Soprano

7. Jack Bauer

8. Mike Seaver

9. Tony Macelli

10. Mike Keaton

[Ananas]

1. Homer Simpson

2. Heathcliff Huxtable

3. Peter Griffin

4. Archie Bunker

5. George Jefferson

6. Sandy Cohen

7. Fred Sanford

8. Tony Micelli

9. Jim Valenti

10. Herman Munster

Good list, although the lack of inclusion for the Cos surprises me.

That is where you're wrong, senorita. He is the "father" to Cubert.

←

Bah! Cubert is but a bit player, unworthy of son-dom

[LL!]

However, he's still a son to Hubert.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Legend's got you there Midget, even if Cubert is just created from a piece of the Professor's skin, he's still technically the Professor's son

[R.W.]

Whilst he may have you with Hubert, I shall checkmate him with this entry in his list:

Also not a Dad...
