Here's a "new" dad, new to the TV universe anyway. And he's a good dad. He loves his daughter and his daughter's bestie, on the show, and in real life. While in Austin, I spotted the real-life counterparts acting like their fictional selves. Meaning? Ben was escorting Rowan across the street at a light, at a crosswalk, and he was holding her hand. First father to be celebrated here today is none other than Cory Matthews:
Next up is a man who had two daughters, but was a father figure to all the boys he coached. Celebrating Coach Eric Taylor!
From one of #adinasfaves, a little show that not a lot of people watched (which is why it died), but no one that has watched it ever has anything bad to say about it. That includes the people who worked on it--they all had such fond memories! Anyway, this dad not only provided for his family and tried to understand teenage girls, took in his kids' friends, and was an all-around good guy and good dad. Celebrating Jack Pryor!
Last one, I promise. You can feel free to spam the comments with all your fave TV dads.
But first. Though he wasn't called "Dad" until season 6, he was a dad before that. He was called "uncle," but he was the best parent his 17-year-old nephew had. He was called "friend," but he looked out for a young girl when boys started sniffing around. Finally, he was called "dad," by his daughter. (I know that's controversial, so I won't post the pic of them.) Celebrating Luke Danes!
ETA a few more.
First up, a man who showed us that "Family don't end with blood [sic]" and that his boys may have been raised by someone else, but he fulfilled that father role for them in adulthood. We all felt like we lost a family member when we lost him, and the show is still missing something without him. Celebrating Bobby Singer!
A father who would do anything for his daughter, including rescuing her from a burning refrigerator. The man who made us smile and cringe whenever he asked his girl "Who's your daddy?" Celebrating Keith Mars!
Two parallel fathers from the same small Colorado town. One was faced with actually being a father when he lost his wife (and his two kids lost their mom). He grew as a father over the course of the series, though not without mistakes, and we applaud his efforts. The other, at first, was fairly one-dimensional, uptight small-town doctor. We soon realized he was much, much more complex (as the best characters usually are). He was always there for his two kids and was the best father he could be. Celebrating Drs. Andy Brown and Harold Abbott!
I lied. One more. He had one son to start the show, but soon gained another. Pretty soon, the rest of Newport looked to him as a father figure as well. Celebrating Sandy Cohen!
(Sandy and his boys, Ryan and Seth)
Okay, that's enough from me. Show me your faves in the comments!
