Who do you think is the worst sitcom father of all time?

My choices are:

Fred Sanford-Sanford and Son since he kept calling his son a dummy.
Sean Finnerty-Grounded for Life. The most immature sitcom father.
Red Forman-That 70s Show. Always called Eric a dumbass.

Frank Barone on Everybody Love Raymond.

Peter Griffin - Family Guy
Hal - Malcolm In The Middle
Homer Simpson
Kevin - Kevin Can Wait
Red - That 70s Show
Archie Bunker
Phil Drummond - Diff'rent Strokes

Phil Drummond - Diff'rent Strokes

Interesting choice. Care to explain that one?

I would say all of them from 1980 and forward because in the 1980's is when moral decency and moral standards ceased to exist.

Yeah I'd kind of like to hear the rationale for Mr. Drummond, too...

It's simple. Look how the kids turned out.

It's simple. Look how the kids turned out.How the actors turned out in real life is not how their characters ended up.

I was gonna say, are we confusing real life with sitcom life? They seemed pretty normal in their sitcom world.

Yeah, Mr. Drummond was a wonderful Father!!:)

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Al Bundy from Married With Children. Granted, the show was a live action cartoon, but he was a bad human being all around.

Al Bundy

Al Bundy (Married With Children). But then that show was nothing but garbage filled with horrible people.

herbert t gillis the many loves of dobie gillis he made red forman look like father of the year

Mr. Drummond was a great father to all four of his kids. He's not responsible for how Gary Coleman, Dana Plato, and Todd Bridges turned out. (BTW, Danny Cooksey seems to have turned out just fine.)

Al Bundy, Peter Griffin, and Red from That '70s show are definitely bad fathers.

Al Bundy Peter Griffin Hal from Malcome in The middle Archie Bunker for allowing his daughter and shiftless son in law to walk all over him when he should've gave them the heave ho.
