2095	Article	vkimo	Not the 80s, but Ward Cleaver was a stand up dad.		Mar 18, 2015
2096	Article	pikachulover	After a while I got better at finding the better quality toys. Sometimes they would have name brand toys. My mom would buy me male dollar store fashion dolls. They would have outfits that were made out of more expensive fashion doll left overs. I had a few that wore some Micheal Jackson doll clothes. One had a "Thriller" jacket. They were cheap and the heads would fall off.	Poor Kids Toybox	Mar 19, 2015
2097	Article	OldSchool80s	Enjoyed the list. I like considering a non-traditional Dad like Charles in Charge, but I don't think he or Mr. Arnold would make my top 5. I agree that I would add Mr. Drummond from Diff'rent Strokes. I think you have to consider Jason Seaver from Growing Pains and Tony from Who's the Boss. I would consider Edward Stratton from Silver Spoons as well as the two guys from My Two Dads. How about Mr. Cunningham from Happy Days and Dan Connor from Roseanne? It's hard to leave any of those off of the list.	Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's	Mar 19, 2015
2098	Article	OldSchool80s	Agree with Vaporman on both counts. I have some favorite movies from the late-90s, but other than that... I guess it all depends on your age	What the Nineties Mean to Me	Mar 19, 2015
2099	Article	ThatDudeintheHoodie	Agreed on that. But since I was born in 91 I experienced the late 90s	What the Nineties Mean to Me	Mar 19, 2015
2100	Article	Hoju Koolander	@everybody All good suggestions. I considered Mr. Drummond and even Mrs. Garret (who spun off from Diff'rrent Strokes to The Facts of Life) as sort of a gender-bias challenging option, but in the end I had to go with the Dads I knew best. Jason Seaver (played by Alan Thicke, who wrote the theme songs to both previously mentioned shows) never really had a chance, he was just too cool for school to register as a Dad to me. I actually went back and forth between Dan from Roseanne and Mr. Arnold a lot, but a Dad from the 60s portrayed in the 80s was just too iconic to pass up. As for Tony, he gets points for having a hot daughter, but I never learned any parenting skills from the man.	Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's	Mar 19, 2015
2101	Article	Hoju Koolander	@Vaporman87 there was a Dad on The Hogan Family? I only caught it sporadically during the Sandy Duncan Years, but I could have sworn it was about a widow raising her boys. That's crazy.	Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's	Mar 19, 2015
2102	Article	Hoju Koolander	Interesting overview of a decade. You are about the same as as my niece, so when you mentioned Wishbone I remember watching that with her at age 4 or so (keep in mind, I was only 12 or 13). I used to call him "Fishbone" just to mess with her. I loved when Ghost Writer would follow, definitely more my style. I was never fooled by the shows that tried to make learning "fun" like Bill Nye or Beakman. At least Mr. Wizard was as boring as any science teacher, so you knew what you were getting.

2104	Article	Mr Magic	I think Kurt Cobain had something to do with flannel shirts being cool. I miss the Nabisco Thing, btw. What made the 90s great for me was playing Sega Genesis and watching Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network every day. Yep, it was a special time.	What the Nineties Mean to Me	Mar 19, 2015
2105	Article	Vaporman87	I think, even with these "dollar store" toys, you still get what you pay for. Even if it's a dollar more than the other package, the more expensive item is likely made a little bit better. My typical cheap toy choices were things like plastic insects, silly putty, or army men.
