Favorite TV Dad

[JohnnyO]

Who is your favorite TV dad from past or present?

I will have to go with Red Foremen from that '70s show. He instills fear, is sarcastic and funny.

[I-Hate-Hulse]

Easy one. Homer.

[Pagal4321]

Homer --> Simpsons
Uncle Phil ---> Fresh Prince
Red Forman ---> 70s Show, dumbass

By far Red is my favorite, he is just hilarious!!!

Current: Micheal Kyle from My Wife and Kids.

Mr. Al Bundy.

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

Two Words my friends.

Danny Tanner. (Man I hope the colour code came along with the new board)

[8 Ball]

Fred Flinstone.

[pope04]

All-time: Mr Cunningham from "Happy Days"

Current: Hank Hill from "King of the Hill"

[Wolfwood]

I also have to go with Bill Cosby as Dr. Huxtable.

[octothorp]

[Mcgavins]

[Mango]

Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince
Dr. Seaver from Growing Pains
Tony from Who's the Boss
Tim from Home Improvement

[looooob]

Red Forman is a good choice,

always liked the gruff, but fair, dad from the Wonder Years

and how about Calgary's own...Mr Drummond from Diff'rent Strokes?

[Displaced Flames fan]

Conrad Bain is a Calgarian? I had no idea.....and I have no idea how on earth I know the man's name instantly.

Kurtwood Smith (a real life Wisconsonite) as Wisconsinite Red Forman is some great, great stuff.

I'll divide this up into two sections....

1. Comedic Dad..

I'll go with Red, with Al Bundy a close runner up.

2. TV Dad that could be your dad in real life and be a good one.....

Pa Ingalls from Little House on the Prarie....greatest Dad ever.

[Displaced Flames fan]

I'm stupid.

[Displaced Flames fan]

God help me.

[looooob]

Conrad Bain, and his twin brother Bonar Bain of SCTV fame, were born in Lethbridge

However Conrad Bain graduated from Western Canada High School in Calgary...I'm quite sure of that

[Bill Bumface]

Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin are solid choices.

I personally have a soft spot for the Simpsons' incarnation of Bill Cosby.

Meg: I am going to go to my room and eat a whole bowl of peanuts!!

PAUSE
Meg: I'm allergic to peanuts!! You guys don't know anything about me! (Runs crying up to her room)

Peter Griffin: ...Who was that guy?

[theikon]

Bob Saget!

[Maritime Q-Scout]

YOU PEOPLE SUCK

while yes, Al Bundy, Homer Simpson, and Peter Griffin, are some of the best, this 1980's child says

HANDS DOWN

best TV ever

played by the late, great, Carroll O'Connor

ARCHIE BUNKER!

not only the greatest tv dad, the greatest tv character of all time

[calgaryred]

It's close but my choices are Bill Cosby as Dr. Huxtable

[ACC67]

Jed Clampett

[Crazy Flamer]

Don't be a dumbass! Red hands down!

[JiriHrdina]

In terms of reminding me of my own old man I'll go with Red Forman.

[Dirty Mr. Clean]

Peter Griffin for me... he just to funny!
