Here's to Dad

Fathers

List of the greatest and most memorable dads from through television history. Which TV fathers were the most inspirational? Who taught you the most about growing up and becoming an adult? Which TV fathers were just the funniest and most entertaining? Any TV dads who fit these criteria are eligible for this list, an attempt to drill down into the definitive answer to the question: "Who's the world's favorite TV Dad?"Vote: <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/favorite-tv-moms-of-all-time-v3">Favorite TV Moms of All Time</a>Classic sitcoms revolving largely around the family gave us a ton of Dads to choose from, and for the most part, they were traditionally good fathers. Guys like Rob Petrie, Andy Taylor and Howard Cunningham looked out for their kids, paid attention to their needs and gave them solid life and career advice.Through the '80s and '90s, pop culture got a bit a bit more realistic or cynical, depending on who you ask, and TV Dads became more of a hodge-podge of responsibility and immaturity, reflecting the real, complex and often difficult job of being a father. Though there remain the shining examples of great TV dads like Cliff Huxtable from "The Cosby Show" and Dan Conner from "Roseanne," you now had alternative views of fatherhood, like Homer Simpson and the iconic Al Bundy.But this list doesn't discriminate! If your favorite TV dads are likely to lose their kids at the mall, ignore them in favor of football and beer or forget their birthdays, vote for 'em anyway! Your old man would be proud.

A show that two of your favorite characters are on could be garbage, the characters surrounding the duo could be annoying, the entire series could be a slog - but we&#39;d still watch because the chemistry of a great couple is pure TV magic. Whether&nbsp;they can banter like no one else, argue and makeup in the span of a few minutes, or just be magically charming together, the best husbands and wives on television have a special place in our TV watching hearts.

While TV may still love pairing <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-husbands-whose-wives-should-have-divorced-them/ranker-tv" target="_blank">husbands</a> who aren&#39;t good partners with <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-wives-who-should-divorce/alexandra-plesa" target="_blank">wives who have too much patience</a>, TV has changed a lot in recent years. Luckily for us, a huge part of that shift has to do with putting great husbands and wives&nbsp;front and center and giving us the privilege of watching them live their lives. From goofy sitcoms to heartbreaking dramas, from big budget epics to small-scale indie cable shows, the best TV husbands and wives&nbsp;are the ones that make us wish our relationships&nbsp;were as stable, healthy, and just plain entertaining as the ones in our favorite <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-shows-about-marriage/ranker-tv/" target="_blank">shows with married couples</a>. If there&#39;s one thing that these husband and wife duos&nbsp;from TV can do best it&#39;s make us wish we had their lives, whether they&#39;re solving every problem life throws at them with grace&nbsp;or looking beautiful and happy from sunup to sundown.

Regardless of the reality of these marriages, after a hard day sometimes all we want to do is escape and watch people that cope with life better than us. With that in mind, get your vows ready, never have a fight that lasts more than one episode, and live your best life with your best spouse, because it&#39;s time to rank the best husband and wife duos&nbsp;on TV.

2019: What's on TV?

2019 tv

The Golden Age of Television is not only bringing small screen audiences some of the most innovative and entertaining programs ever, it&rsquo;s also bringing spectators some of the best male TV characters of all time.

Patriarchs, police detectives, and teenagers are no longer held hostage by the standard tropes of their macho predecessors -&nbsp;the Me Too movement has finally made its way to television, and it&rsquo;s giving us some of the most well-rounded male characters in 2019.

Sure, none of these characters are perfect. But perhaps that&rsquo;s one of the reasons why they&#39;re so relatable. The best male TV characters need to be three-dimensional. No one in real life is all good or all bad; we live in shades of grey and only hope that we&rsquo;re making the right decisions. We&rsquo;re only now comfortable rooting for a lawyer whose practice skirts around legal technicalities, or a good dude who just happens to be a weed dealer.

Who are the best dad characters on TV? The boob tube has a long history of creating patriarchs that are equally kind, supportive, and oftentimes hilarious. Each TV generation has its own version of Mike Brady, John Walton, or Steven Keaton. Which current TV dad do you think tops the list?

No father bats a thousand. But the best dad characters more than make up for their flaws. Sure, Homer Simpson may spend too much time at Moe&rsquo;s Tavern and Phil Dunphy may still think he can have a career in magic, but there is an inherent sweetness in both characters - though it may sometimes be a little harder to find. The best dad TV characters of 2019 share many of&nbsp;the same characteristics today than they did 60 years ago when Ward Cleaver was disciplining the Beaver.
