Heathcliff is #1

I think I have watched almost every Cosby Show episode and I totally love Dr. Huxtable as a father. He seems to get along well with the kids, he has an amazing attitude and he is totally funny. He gets my vote as the all-time best TV dad.

Eric Camden

I know this will not be a popular choice, but I have always loved Reverend Camden on Seventh Heaven. He is full of wisdom, stays close to his kids and seems to be able to weather any storm that comes along. He is my fathering hero!
