What makes a good dad? Is it his paternal wisdom? His fatherly devotion? His weird little hobbies? Some dadly combination of the three? While the exact ratio of smart to loving to strange isn’t exactly clear, any father worth his salt knows that to be a truly great dad, you need to devote your time to giving advice, hugging your kids, and tinkering around in the garage. While real-life dads don’t always get the memo, these TV fathers are the perfect role models for parents and children alike. Post-apocalyptic protectors, trad goth millionaires, and suburban guys just trying to get by, no two dads on this list are quite the same. But if you look past their superficial differences, it’s clear that within each of these men (and dogs) beats the fervent heart of a devoted father. These are the 10 best dads in TV history.
