There are dads everywhere on TV, and it’s my God-given right to rank them as I see fit! I didn’t touch on all the dads that have ever been on TV, of course. I don’t have that kind of time!
I watch a lot of family TV. And I don’t mean “fun for the whole family” shows—although that’s a fair description for a lot of them—I mean shows where a family and/or family dynamic is front and center. If I’ve learned anything from the many, many hours I’ve spent on my couch, it’s that families are in, and I love it!
With the abundance of parents and kids on shows these days, the world of TV dads has blossomed. No longer are we stuck with the recliner-and-beer dad (though Murray Goldberg is trying to bring it back). Now, we’ve got a dad for every need: shitty dads, funny dads, hot dads, and dads who are probably too good to actually exist in real life.
So, naturally, I had to rank the 13 TV dads I’ve interacted with the most.
