Who was the best TV dad?

[quantumleap]

Tom Bosley, the dad on "Happy Days" just died this week. Made me think of all the cool TV dads. I was going to make a poll out of this but there are too many.

Who is your favorite TV dad?

 

[lax_gunman]

Frank Costanza for funny, Andy Griffith for Role model.

AL Bundy, he kept everyone in line and made sure everyone in his family felt special.

Plus, I like the spats he had with Meg. They presented a challenge.

Ward Cleaver - Hugh Beaumont ... leave it to beaver

I kind of go to opposite extremes. I liked Ward Cleaver because he taught the boys good lessons. On the other hand I liked Al Bundy just because he was hilarious.
