While everyone probably knows a good "dad joke" or two, it can be a little harder to define a "dad show" on television. Hypothetically, any father can enjoy any type of program. But there are some TV series that have just the right blend of action, gadgets, and middle-aged protagonists to really excel at capturing your dad's attention. Shows like "Yellowstone" are probably already appointment TV for your dad — and one he's regularly encouraging you to watch, too.

If this relatively new TV sub-genre is to your tastes, check out 10 of the best "dad shows" currently streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and more.
