Who’s your (favourite) daddy?



By Jocelyn Uithaler

They may be strict and stern and lay down the law, but at the end of the day fathers are just big softies – at least where their kids are concerned.

In celebration of Father’s Day (which is on Sunday, by the way) we bring you this gallery of some of our favourite TV dads.

They are the ones who make us laugh and cry. They are smart and funny, they sacrifice a lot for their families, and some of them, well, sometimes we just shake our heads at their sarcastic remarks or appalling behavior.
