The Top 10 Most Awesome TV and Movie Dads

Like many people, I enjoy sitting on my butt watching an episode of The Walking Dead on Netflix. This always ends up turning into 14 episodes thanks to Netflix's "post-play" feature or as it is better known: Netflix's "bedtime was going to be 11:30 and now it's 3:15 AM and I promise I will stop at the end of this episode" feature.  Ever since I became a dad I have watched how dads interact on TV and movies I have noticed that there are a whole bunch of awesome dads on TV and in movies, and there are a whole bunch of crappy dads too. I decided to put together a list of my favorite TV and movie dads and a list of the TV and movie dads I hate most. Today you will get to enjoy my favorite TV and movie dads. Check back soon for the ones I hate most!

*Just some clarification on this one.  Ron Swanson is a step-dad and a dad to be.  The reason he is #1 is because he is the epitome the awesomest dad in my mind.  Maybe that's because he is kinda like my old man.

Honorable Mention - Dr. Alex Hesse - Juinor
