most memorable TV dads what what is it
what are you doing looking at you with
quiet ah well I was going to quiet top
meathead dad Archie Bunker all in the
family Archie was one of history’s top
TV characters thanks to his opinionated
and ignorant quips racial stereotypes
and cigar smoking come on all yours
leave me alone here you will get me some
beer as a dad Archie was tough when it
counted you’d be annoyed too if you’re
liberal daughter and son-in-law
disagreed with you that often ultimately
Archie was a softy and he kept a special
place in his heart for the people who
mattered like Sammy Davis jr. now on
three okay one two three
top foolish dad Fred G Sanford Sanford
and Son
we loved Archie for his flaws and it was
the same with Fred Sanford this old fool
lived with his aging big dummy of a son
Lamont
after his wife Elizabeth passed away
Lamont stuck around to make sure his
drunken dad didn’t get into too much
trouble with one of his get-rich-quick
schemes Fred might have been a sarcastic
and hot-tempered old man but you know
these two shared a close connection okay
with TV but Clint had pizza
well I want to get it for you cause he’s
cheap son of a hello Lamaze top
professional dad dr. Heath cliff
Huxtable The Cosby Show this
groundbreaking sitcom introduced a black
family that was both affluent and
functional dr. Heath cliff Huxtable was
the head of this traditional family and
the show revolved around Cosby’s sense
of humor fortunately for the Huxtable
family cliffs pediatric practice was at
home so he had plenty of time to advise
and lecture his kids maybe you can just
accept Who I am and love me anyway
because I’m your son that’s the dumbest
thing
special nod to The Cosby sweaters top
stay-at-home dad dr. Jason Seaver
growing pains
tell me sir isn’t it unusual for a
father and a son to attend a rock and
roll concert together no no way no not
in our family not in any family that
loves each other right taking cues from
The Cosby Show psychiatrist dr. Jason
Seaver set up shop at home so he could
do his fair share of the child-rearing
while Maggie worked as a journalist he
spent time with the kids each of whom
was a handful in their own way and
guided them all through their
interpersonal problems while cleverly
dodging chore duty taught bitter dad Al
Bundy married with children Hey did you
miss me with every bullet so far al
represented every father whose dreams
were dashed when he had a family also
every father who sits on the couch with
his hand in his pants he was chained to
a money-hungry wife who refused to cook
and clean and their two hormone driven
kids yes he hated life but the Bundy
family was a surprisingly tight-knit
bunch we’re going on a Labor Day
vacation oh shut up top cartoon dad
Homer Simpson The Simpsons dad what’s a
muppet well it’s not quite um up it’s
not quite a puppet but man so to answer
your question I don’t know if Marge was
a Simpson family Rock Homer was the
heart TV’s top animated dad didn’t
always set the best example for his kids
this ticket doesn’t just give me a seat
it also gives me the right know the duty
to make a complete ass of myself but
when he wasn’t choking Bart drinking at
Mo’s or drooling over food
he was surprising everyone including
himself by playing the role of caring
husband and father top eccentric dad
Frank Costanza Seinfeld I got a lot of
problems with you people
oh you’re gonna hear about it George’s
father wore his emotions on his sleeve
and used shouting as his preferred
method of communication this former army
cook was fluent in Korean and was vocal
about removing his shoes in other
people’s homes
Frank was quite the inventor with the
man’s ear and Festivus credited to him
he also had a unique way of lowering his
blood pressure I told you to fix that
thing running we’re still not convinced
that works by the way top clumsy dad Tim
Taylor home improvement Tim the Toolman
Taylor had his own handyman show
signature sound sidekick Hidden neighbor
loving wife and three boys while he made
a lot of mistakes and we mean a lot that
should say testosterone right on there
cuz that that’s is a man’s dish
he was always able to learn from them
with a little help for every hot rod he
built her injury he sustained tim
learned a valuable life lesson that he
passed on to his kids more power
top tough dead red foremen that 70 sho
kidding I’ve got two stages and drink
most dad’s put on their tough guy act
but not this tough as nails war bet sure
he loved his wife Kitty and treated his
daughter like a princess but Eric never
got any of the affection instead he got
the constant threat of a foot up his ass
red had a short fuse was insensitive
strict and hated pretty much everyone
especially his hippie neighbors top gay
dads Cameron Tucker and Mitchell
Pritchett modern family everybody
Mitchell Pritchett and his partner
Cameron business partners mergers and
acquisitions I’m kidding we’re gay Sub

while raising their adopted daughter
Lily to be a little bread the flamboyant
cam is the stay-at-home dad with unusual
hobbies like sports drumming and
clowning around
Toby bad Oh cam I I’ve known I wanted to
be a clown since I found out clowns were
just people with makeup Mitchell on the
other hand is a mild-mannered lawyer who
worries too much is overprotective loves
Costco and preaches against homophobia
