Well, looks like I was wrong. Jen wondered if Steven Keaton had made it and I thought he had. This sucks.

I'm trying to figure out why Herman Monster was on the list.

I'm trying to figure out why Homer Simpson was on the list.

Mr. Television · 06-19-2004, 01:08 AM

Ozzie Osbourne tied with Ozzie Nelson.

I was surprised to see Homer on the list too. I was shocked when Cliff was number 2. I just knew he was going to be number one since he is considered-THE PERFECT TV DAD-lol

why wouldn't he be? just because he wasn't on a show that ended over 25 years ago doesn't mean he's any less of a famous "tv dad". Remember the big deal in 1990 when Simpsons moved up against Cosby on Thursday nights?

What does that have to do with anything? James said nothing about 25 years ago.

They made some interesting choices, that's for sure.

That's ok Little Insomniac, thanks though. I'm also surprised that Steven Keaton didn't make the list. I thought he would.

He deserved to be on the list, there's no denying that as far as I'm concerned. I'm really surprised.

Maybe because really, especially when compared to some of the other dads, he's really not a great dad. He has his moments, but basically, he was drawn to be everything Cosby wasn't.

Which is why Homer is funnier.

Cathy beat me to it. Odd is definately the word.. doesn't make any sense to me.

EmoJoe · 06-19-2004, 09:13 AM

Herman Munster? Im glad Ray Barone is on there, but where is Tony Micelli?

And Homer Simpson a good dad? Not good, IMO. And OZZIE OSBOURNE? Youve GOT to be kidding me!
