Top 10 TV Dads (from Woman's Day)

1. Cliff Huxtable, The Cosby Show (I didn't grow up watching this, so I can't agree or disagree)

2. Ignacio Suarez, Ugly Betty (this one I've never seen, so I don't know)

3. Mike Brady, The Brady Bunch (this show was so cheesy/unrealistic, I don't know if he showed enough "good dad" chops to be on this list)

4. Herman Munster, The Munsters (never saw it, but he does look pretty cool)

5. Hank Hill, King of the Hill (never saw it, but the description says that he loves the Dallas Cowboys and says things like, "I'll tell you what!" so he has to be awesome)

6. Bill Hendrickson, Big Love (never saw it, but am planning on watching it soon because of my strong desire to have sister-wives)

7. Danny Tanner, Full House (c'mon, this should have been a split vote. Sure, he's the biological dad, but should've shared the award with Joey and Uncle Jesse. Lessons were taught while sappy music played at the end of the show by all three of them)

8. Michael Bluth, Arrested Development (one of the greatest shows ever--how did I forget about this one on my list a couple weeks ago?? AGREE. He's a great dad who has to put up with a great deal of crap.)

9. Eric Taylor, Friday Night Lights (never saw this show, but I'm sure Jenny'll agree)

10. Andy Taylor, The Andy Griffith Show (agree, but was set up with a perfect kid making his job a bit easier. Why didn't they call it the Andy Taylor Show? or why was his character not just named Andy Griffith?)
