Who is your favorite TV dad?
My favorite was Cliff Huxtable, played by Bill Cosby.

Like when Theo says an "Awww..." comment about accepting him as he is, Cliff tells him that is the dumbest thing he's ever heard. :D

And besides, he usually says what everyone else is thinking but is afraid to verbalize....

6. Gomez Addams
He gives you a huge allowance and even buys you dynamite caps to play with. Seriously I met John Aston who played Gomez, he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

9. Homer Simpson
"Oh Lisa you and your stories. Bart is a vampire. Beer kills brain cells. Now let's go back to that building thingy where our beds and TV is."

"Lisa if the Bible has taught us anything (and it hasn't), it's that girls should stick to girls sports, like hot oil wrestling, foxy boxing, and such."

"19."
"Hit me."
"20."
"Hit me."
"21."
"Hit me."
"22."
"Doh!!!!"

12. Jack Arnold from The Wonder Years
One of the most "human" dads ever put on TV. Dan Lauria did a masterful job portraying a conservative, yet loving man.

He reminded me a lot of my Dad and Grandfather.

16. Homer Simpson.
He's fun and he loves his family.

Might drink a bit, but he's a good drunk that you can easily take advantage of.

28. Fred McMurray from My 3 Sons. Because...
He'd film a year's worth of fatherly advice and general comments ahead of time then go away and let Uncle Charley deal with things.

I've seen Christopher Titus on Comedy Central lately - he's still funny, but that show was hilarious!
