I don't tune in to too many of those shows, but the Bundy Christmas episodes still make me laugh.

TV's most loving dad ever.
And as an antidote to Cliff Huxtable.
Mark Crispin Miller once talked about how the Rudy, Theo, et al. would some day all wake up (under a psychiatrist's care) to the realization that Cliff was a "subtle thug" who turned his kids into foils for his comic riffs and ALWAYS got his way.

2. I like the drunken, rambling Dad on Boy Meets World |
|
He was a wild man - always hooking up with cocktail waitresses, etc.

Blake Clark is quite the outstanding comedic character actor. And Chet Hunter explains just why Shawn was always so much cooler than Cory. Of course, who can be cool with a name like "Cory," anyway?

13. the show would've been so much more interesting |
|
if it would've been about Shawn instead of nimrod Cory. Though, it was nice that Tapanga (sp?) got so much screen time.

Topanga was a little young for me -- I was always a Maitland Ward fan myself (I forget her character's name -- the tall redhead that roomed with Eric and the Hunter brothers). Yummy!
Oh, and Will Friedle is a comic GENIUS. Ever see "Trojan War?" Basically a slapstick remake of "Some Kind of Wonderful" with Friedle and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Yeah, I know, it sounds hideous; but it's brilliant.

Always smiling, always fair, wise, and caring. Not the usual bumbling dad you see on most sitcoms.

but I had to go with Tom Corbett ... I had a huge crush on Bill Bixby for a long time, and I loved Eddie's Father for other characters too. Jodie Foster's "Joey Kelly" and Brandon Cruz' "Eddie" were pretty good too.
