If Homer Simpson were actually my father, I’d probably be a pretty screwed up kid. The same is true for Peter Griffin, George Costanza’s dad, or Danny Devito’s character on It’s Always Sunny. That’s not to say I don’t love those guys. I mean, they’re hilarious, raunchy, and ridiculous. But if I had to choose my favorite sitcom dads, I’d probably lean more towards Kevin’s dad from Wonder Years or william russ‘s character from Boy Meets World. These are the kind of guys who are really good role models. Sure, they make mistakes once in a while, but they never strangle their kids or actually put their offspring in any real danger. Alan Matthews was the kind of guy that not only cared for his own son exceptionally, but for his son’s troubled friend as well. That’s not to say I’d actually replace my own dad with any of these sitcom dads. He’s great in his own right.
