Firstly, My apologies for neglecting Kyle Chandler’s Coach Taylor. If I could do it all again, I’d probably have included him over Jim Walsh. That said, to TV Addict’s of a certain age, Jim Walsh was one of our first TV parents. I’ll never forget how he totally lost it when he discovered Brenda went off to Tijuana with Dylan. Seriously, crazy stuff!

Amber, you are so right about Jim Walsh.

As much as I love the 90210 shout-out, how could Jim Walsh even be on there? He was the best father on 90210, but that’s not saying much.

He shouldn’t be on the list just for his blatant favoritism between his kids, including yelling at Brenda for making out with her boyfriend on the couch, while allowing Brandon to lose his virginity in his house while his parents are sleeping in their room down the hall with nothing more than a smile and a “I’ll tell your Mom you were careful.” Gross, and such a double standard.

What about Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler)? And I second Sandy Cohen — his eyebrows are thick with wisdom.

How could Pappa Mars not be #1! lol He will always be my number one top TV Daddy! HOT DOG!!!! All your others are great, except I agree Daddy Winchester should have made an honorable mention, he tried his best with his boys and there was no doubt he loved those boys!
