Top 11 TV Dads

Being a dad is hard work.  Luckily, I have a really great dad who role modeled how important being a dad is.  Also, I watched a lot of family sitcoms growing up.  So, when you add these eleven dads with mine, you might say I have the best of twelve worlds.

#11 - Danny Tanner
TV show: Full House
While I may be the biggest fan of this show in the world, and I wait anxiously for season seven to be released on DVD, Danny was a clean freak who needed help from Uncle Jesse and Joey Gladstone. Danny couldn't do it on his own.

#10 - Willie Tanner
TV show: ALF
Hey Willie!  There's two Tanners on this list!  I wonder if they're related?  Willie the type of dad who would let their kids bring home the pets they found in the park.  And it just so happens his kids found an alien in the garage. 

#9 - Carl Winslow
TV show: Family Matters
While putting up with the whining of Steve Urkel, Carl managed to be a police officer... and it's rumored he sold cocaine on the side to make ends meet.

#8 - Tim "The Toolman" Taylor
TV show: Home Improvement
Was Jill really sleeping with Al Borland? I mean Tim's heart was always in the right place, but really man do you need to go to Wilson for everything?

#7 - Alan Matthews
TV show: Boy Meets World
Mr. Feeney was the real father... Al is only here cause I think the mom on that show was hot. I know, I'm a sick, sick man.

#6 - Nick Russo
TV show: Blossom
This rock n' roll guy married a hot British chick, and never once did he crack and murder his son Joey for shouting "Whoa!"

#5 - Jason Seaver
TV show: Growing Pains
Not only did he have a typical "dad" haircut, but he also did Woolco advertisements. Yeah, hardly seems fair to get number five.

#4 - Steven Keaton
TV show: Family Ties
Much like Russo, Steven here never snapped from hearing "Yo Mallory!" everyday, and that's much more harsh on the ears. He was a dirty hippy who had to deal with a capitalist son.

#3 - Al Bundy
TV show: Married... With Children
Scored four touchdowns in one game. 'Nuff said.

#2 - Dan Conner
TV show: Roseanne
He was a real dad. The type of dad that real people have. He wanted to murder all of his daughters' boyfriends. And that's what real dads want to do.

#1 - Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable
TV show: The Cosby Show
With everything that's come to light about the Cos over the last couple years, I think it's important to remember Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable as the ultimate dad.  There's no reason we should let reality alter our perceptions of the family life the Huxtables had. I know it's hard, but really - search your soul and you'll see - Dr. Huxtable was the dad we all wanted to have.  With his Jello pudding, Kodak film, jazz music, and rape drugs.  I mean, wait... what.

Thanks for reading!
