Anybody except for Cliff Huxtable. Sorry "Cosby" fans. I'm usually a nice guy, but Cliff Huxtable and "The Cosby Show" bring out my bad side. ;)

Well my older sister likes that show. So I'd buy it for her.

I know you like the show and I repsect your opinions, so I hope I don't get you mad when I bash "The Cosby Show." If you want, go ahead ... Bash "Wings." ;)

As for Rurry007,
I wouldn't want him as my dad, but I find Danny Tanner funny. And I'm a fan of Full House. I don't discuss it on the messageboard, but I like it.

I bought the "Who's the Boss?" DVD and found Tony to be a great dad.

Hmmmm...

After spending the week watching Who's The Boss I'd say Tony Micelli is my current favorite TV Dad. I also really like Dan Connor.

1. Ward Cleaver
2. Steve Douglas
3. Cliff Huxtable
4. Andy Taylor
5. Howard Cunningham
6. Tom Corbett
7. James Evans Sr.
8. Mike Brady
9. Martin Crane
10. Frank Barone

Tom Corbett was Bill Bixby's character on "The Courtship Of Eddie's Father". It would be difficult to find another sitcom where a father and his son were any closer.

Funny, I was just thinking about this yesterday, what a coïncedence! (oh wait, this is a very old thread kicked up... :crazy: )

Anyway, my favorite tv dad is Alan Matthews (Boy meets World). I always thought and still think he raised his kids the best of all tv dads I know. He wasn't too soft, like e.g. Danny Tanner, he wasn't too hard, like Jack Arnold, but he was just right. He wasn't as unrealistic as most tv dads. I mean, when a tv kid makes a terrible mistake, most tv dads stay unbelievable calm and hardly punish their kids. But Alan could really get angry and yell at his kids, without becoming too hard or looking like a bad father. He gave his kids advice and love and he always gave the right example. He is a hero. :cool:
