Who gets your vote for the best TV father?
You can choose from current TV fathers or from ones from the past. Some front runners might include Jim Anderson (Robert Young) from "Father Knows Best", Charles Ingalls (Michael Landon) from "Little House on the Prairie", and Dr. Alex Stone (Carl Betz) from "The Donna Reed Show".

I want to say Cliff Huxtable, but it's been tainted...

You can still say it....the character he played was incredibly well written and a VERY GOOD father. One of the best...
That's exactly what I thought!
I wasn't aware we could father TVs. Learn something new every day.

If we were to include movies, I'd have to go with The Old Man in the movie A Christmas Story
As the head of the nuclear family, he bellowed, he mused, he grimaced, he wise-cracked, he danced and celebrated, and his enthusiasm for major prizes, furnace and fuse battles and the ongoing war with the Bumpus’s hounds was unparalleled in film history. As a father role model The Old Man had no peer and his look of pride as he caught Ralphie uttering the forbidden F-Bomb was unmistakable. R.I.P. Darren McGavin, you are the most memorable father figures ever.
