Who are Television's Most Memorable Fathers?
Who are television's most memorable fathers? According to Boston Globe TV critic, Matthew Gilbert, there are 14 TV dads that can't be forgotten. Why 14? No one knows. Bear in mind, the list is not 'television’s best fathers,' but it's most memorable.
- Andy Taylor - The Andy Griffith Show
- Tony Soprano - The Sopranos
- Eric Taylor - Friday Night Lights
- Ward Cleaver - Leave it to Beaver
- Mike Brady - The Brady Bunch
- Uncle Bill and Mr. French - Family Affair
- Frank Costanza - Seinfeld
- Cliff Huxtable - The Cosby Show
- Sandy Cohen - The O.C.
- Harry Morgan - Dexter
- Martin Crane - Frasier
- Co. Sherman T. Potter - M*A*S*H
- Steve Douglas - My Three Sons
- Rob Petrie - The Dick Van Dyke Show
How about we make the list a more logical 15, and add one last father - Chris Turk, "Scrubs." He's funny, he's kind, and he's a doctor on my favorite TV show! How could Gilbert disagree?
