T.V.'s HOT Dads!#1

Via Nerve.com:
Father’s Day is this Sunday. Have you bought your Old Spice yet? With this in mind, we wanted to take a stroll through a short list of the hottest TV dads. We’re sure we left some good ones out—let us introduce you to the feedback section, friends. But sadly, making this list, we realized something bittersweet: TV dads are kind of lame.
5. Mike Brady (Robert Reed), The Brady Bunch
Mike Brady suffers the fate of most TV dads: handsome but painfully vanilla. Still, if you look at him right, he has total f**k-me eyes.
4. Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), The Sopranos
Gross, yes, but sexy in that I’ll-take-you-in-the-back-alley kind of way. Plus he’s always up for it. We sure as sh*t wouldn’t let our daughter babysit for the Sopranos.
3. Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher), The O.C.
His eyebrows practically had a co-starring role, but Sandy scores high for two reasons: He rocks a girl’s name, and he’s a civil rights attorney.
2. Sherriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith), The Andy Griffith Show
He’s a gentle man of morals, kind to Don Knotts, and from his loins sprang Richie Cunningham. Plus, he can totally get you out of that DUI.
1. Dan Conner (John Goodman), Roseanne
Humor always trumps hotness when it comes to the men we love. And no dad was funnier, or cooler, than Dan Conner. As little girls, we wanted to grow up and marry someone like Dan. Still do. F**k your waistline. Can you make us laugh? —SH

I do love me some Gandolfini.
I used to have a crush on the dad from My So Called Life, too.

"TV dads are kind of lame"
She obviously didn't go back as far as Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz).

He was cute, Kringas! I loved Angela's dad.
Gary Sheperd, thirtysomething, and Nate Fisher, Six Feet Under = hot earthy crunchy dads.
Dr, Mark Green - ER. He had an easier time with his daughter when she was little, but he was always compassionate and dedicated.

I was 13 years old with a distant, self-involved father and I wished that I had a father like Eddie had:
My father never played with me like Eddie's did.
I wanted piggyback rides with Eddie's father but not my own--and when my father didn't shave, it was gross...not like Eddie's father.
With his dad's best friend, "mod photographer" Norman, it was like Eddie had TWO hot dads:
And Miyoshi Umeki from Flower Drum Song was Mrs. Livingston:

Bill was a hot Daddy.
My favorite of course was Brian Kelly from FLIPPER. 
re: T.V.'s HOT Dads!#10
Posted: 6/14/07 at 11:57amMmm...YES! But couldn't you find a picture of him in his swimming trunks?

I loved when he would rip his shirt off and dive in, pants and all.

Posted: 6/14/07 at 12:32pmI dont remember their names, but the two in "My Two Dads". At the time, I thought the bearded one was seriously hot.

I used to like Tony Danza on Who's the Boss. If I remember correctly, there was a shower/towel shot of him in the opening credits for a while.
