Who is your favorite sitcom dad?

Think about it before committing to a final answer.

Several come to mind - strong role models who believe in family, the hate-to-love protagonist who struggles with inner demons but has a heart of gold, the love-to-hate man who protects family at all costs.

I also discovered current television shows don’t do dad justice.
