Today's special father's day poll asks who is your favorite TV father. Now there are literately hundreds to choose from and I hated to leave off great dads like Bernie Mac and Herman Munster. Not to mention Fred Flintstones and George Jetson. But here are the limited choices you have to pick from.
Jim Anderson (Robert Young) From Father Knows Best. Don't hold it against him that Kitten turned out to be a whore.
Steve Douglas (Fred Mac Murray) From My Three Sons. Don't hold it against him that Chip turned out to be drug addict.
Ben Cartwright (Lorne Greene) From Bonanza. Don't hold it against him that every time one of his boys got engaged that the woman got run over by a buffalo or something.
Howard Cunningham (Tom Bosely) From Happy Days. Don't hold it against him that Joanie turned into a Holy Roller. Or that she did Chaci.
Homer Simpson. From the Simpsons. Don't hold it against him that Maggie sounds like Elizabeth Taylor.
Happy Father's Day.

While I applaud My Three Sons for positively portraying a same-sex couple, none of these men are hot enough to get my vote.
Homer Simpson. Or maybe, Atticus Finch. No, Homer Simpson is the man.
Best tv dad was Michael Brady.
Carl Betz on the Donna Reed show. Good looking enough for Jason. Don't hold it against him that Donna started out as a whore in From Here to Eternity. And the son, Paul Petersen: He went on to act in many guest-roles, including one as a military officer in the short-lived 1967 ABC western series Custer....

As was Custer's military career....

Perrrfect!
Man and father are difficult sides of the same guy. Throw husband in on top and it's damn near impossible.
I think husband is hardest to do correctly.
I still tell my sons that I know nothing about being a father, but I do know all about being a seventeen y o boy.
Do you want their love, trust or respect? There's a question.
Steve Douglas. Just edges out Howard Cunningham.
Ernie was so cute!
Homer.
(His skin tone is closest to mine.)
