Some of us had good dads, while others had terrible ones. But if you had to choose which American TV dad you would want to be raised by...who would you pick and why? Any list will be incomplete but I did my best to include some good choices. If you voted "other" then post the name & show.

I personally voted for Ward Cleaver...never get tired of that corny 50's style of parenting.

My choice would have been homer Simpson if that was a choice...but I chose Archie, cause he is so much like my father

How rude! I can't see Al Bundy (Married with Children) on the list!

I'm really freaked out by this thread

they're talking about actual good fathers..not the dumb obese ones..
Peter Griffin
"you could have a boat...OR THE MYSTERY BOX!"
"Lois, we have to take the box! It could be anything- it could even be a boat!"
Homer Simpson
"LE GRILLE? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"

Al Bundy
"Thank your father."
(sarcastically) "Thanks, dad"
[although he did save the earth from a meterorite or something]

Anyways, Hank Hill from King of the Hill should be up here.

My dad is Cliff Huxtable. They look alike, they talk alike, they act alike, they think alike, they both have lots of kids. And it doesn't even end there.

Seriously.

And I love my dad, so I voted for Cliff Huxtable!

Yeah Luns! I figured you would vote for Leave it to Beaver seeing as it's from the 1950's.

I voted for Charles Ingalls and I'm ready for all the 19th century jokes.

How many times did I have to endure listening to Melissa Gilbert say "pa!" but after awhile it sort of grew on me.

I bought the first season of "Roseanne" for six quid out of my local Co-Op a couple of weeks ago. It's not as good as I remember it, but I wouldn't mind having John Goodman (that his name?) for a dad. Funny bloke. Shame he never did anything else decent since.

What the hell??? Philip BANKS!!!

Fresh Prince!!

Now I KNOW you guys aren't seriously voting...

Thank you luns. No I have the fresh prince theme stuck in my head.

it was tough between phil and dr. huxtable.

Where's OJ Simpson?

Where's Peter Griffin?

Had to go with Archie Bunker, he reminds me of my own father.

Peter Griffen, but you don't even have Danny Tanner from Full House on there, he was good

i know the song by heart

what about Red from that 70's show? come on!

Like I said everyone...any list compiled will be incomplete in some way.

Your responses are very interesting though. It's funny how these TV dads in some way reflect a little bit of our own fathers.

Nah i picked Red just because hes funny

My dad cant be compared...hes like an angry bouncer

No, not you personally DDS, I'm speaking in general to everyone.

Some random Pikachu that doesn't start in the show but has had babies.

HOMER SIMPSON!

Alan Thicke is the Man!

Jason Seaver was such a pushover. I would have gotten away with everything.
