Have you noticed how TV Dad’s get a raw deal? They are often portrayed as stupid, the butt of everyone’s jokes in the sitcoms. In the soaps they are usually the bad guy. Even in cartoons the Dads are not treated much better. Take Daddy Pig for instance, he’s overweight and grumpy and can’t even hang a picture properly.
So bearing this in mind I’m going to choose five of my favourite TV Dads to share with you, and lets see if we can find some good qualities in them and present them with a best Dad Award.
My Hero – George Sunday

The Simpsons – Ned Flanders
Ned did once get drunk in Vegas with his neighbour Homer and end up marrying Ginger who later came to live with him. She left when she got sick of his sickly sweet personality.

There you have it, my favourite Television Dads and the awards I would present to them. Do you remember them? Who would you choose as your favourite TV Dad?
This is my entry into the CurrysPCWorld #TopTVDads competition to win a Samsung SUHD TV.
What great choices….I actually forgot that Angel was a dad! I loved that show x
My (grown-up) daughter accused me of being a 'fangirl' when she heard I was including Angel. I guess I am, I really miss the show and just can't watch David Boreanez in anything else.
Oh I remember Thermoman!
I never realised Angel became a dad as I stopped watching….will have to try to catch
up with it all
What a great idea and I loved Thermoman and Angel!
Not a big fan of comedy but Thermoman was funny. Great idea for a Father's Day post!
I've never watched Angel, I think I need too! Love Ned Flanders 🙂
I watched Angel and loved that show he was so cool!
Haha I was thinking about this is the other day and George Sunday would have definitely been in my list as well and who doesn't love Angel. x
Oh now there are some good choices right there, Ned Flanders lol x
A great tribute to dads I love all your choices.
What a great round up – good luck in the competition x
I used to love My Hero! I never watched Angel far enough to see him become a dad though
I've never actually realised that Dads are so often portrayed this way! Great round up
Great choices – I loved Angel and he is a dad again in Bones too!
I tried to watch Bones, I really did, but it just wasn't Angel
Good luck in the competition! I loved My Hero – George Sunday was brilliant!
Good luck in the competition., I have no idea who would win my tV dad of the year
Del trotter: "this time next year, we will be millionaires." X

Ned Flanders is always the misunderstood character. I would go with him if I was to choose.xx
Great post even though I don't know who most of them are. Kaz x
It's got to be Ben Harper! Loved that show… and he's pretty hot too 😉
