Friday Five – TV Parents
Welcome to the Friday Five! Each week we help you get to know us a little better with the help of a top five list. This week’s category: TV Parents.
If you’re anything at all like me, you were practically raised by TV. I mean, it never showed up to school plays or my graduation, or ever gave me an allowance, but TV sure taught me a lot about how a family is supposed to be.
- Homer Simpson – The Simpsons – He never met a parenting challenge he couldn’t drink/strangle away.
- Randy Marsh – South Park – Frankly, he’s the best character on South Park, all his adventures are way better than his son’s.
- Jack Arnold – The Wonder Years – For being the TV dad most like my own dad
- Bill Cosby – The Cosby Show – The quintessential TV dad almost every TV dad from the 80’s forwards was based on.
- Mr. McMahon – WWE – He was not a good father by any means – Kidnaping his own daughter and nearly sacrificing her with The Undertaker, getting into prolonged streetfights with his son, but damn if their family exploits weren’t watchable as hell.
