TV is filled with all types of dads, from the ones who are unbelievably perfect fathers to the ones who are more realistically flawed. Some TV dads are good fathers, and others are downright rotten. All types are welcome in this thread. Let's talk about the TV dads that we most enjoy watching.

As someone who didn't have a big relationship with his father (he passed away when I was only three years old), Andy seemed like the type of man who I would have liked to have had as my dad.

I'm very sorry to hear that Supes.

I can't imagine the challenges you've faced as a result, but I am glad you ended up here with us.

As for a Dad entry, I'll go with this man first:



Sure, Steven was a liberal ex-hippie, but he was also a great (and very patient) father.

Charles Ingles from Little House on the Praire.

Andy Griffith was definitely an ideal TV dad.
