| 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. | Mar 19, 2015 |  | |
| 2106 | Article | Vaporman87 | I should say that I certainly don't disregard the entire decade as "not that special". When I say that I felt it lacked it's own identity, I didn't mean that to say it wasn't still special. I know for those spending their formative years in the nineties, they were the most special decade ever. Thankfully, that decade had many things carry over from the eighties, and those kids could benefit from the spirit of the eighties. Something I don't think millennials can appreciate. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2109 | Article | ThatDudeintheHoodie | I agree with that. Though that I saw when I read up on things is that the 90's for the earlier part of it was 80s part 2. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2091 | Article | Vaporman87 | This is a really great list, and a hard one to formulate. There were so many great father figures in 80's sitcoms. I would say, I agree with this list with one exception... I believe I would replace Charles with Mr. Drummond, who not only had to teach and raise 3 children on his own, but two of them were black. That equated to a whole lot of opportunities for trouble and he always handled that pressure graciously. Not to mention one of those two black boys was Arnold, who was ALWAYS looking to get into some kind of mess. One who gets very little attention, but I always thought was a really great dad was Michael Hogan (The Hogan Family), who managed to keep a lid on the 3 boys he had and deal with the death of his wife (actually the lead character of the show in the beginning until she was fired after the second season because Valerie Harper was holding out for more money). | Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's | Mar 18, 2015 | |
| 2095 | Article | vkimo | Not the 80s, but Ward Cleaver was a stand up dad. | Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's | Mar 18, 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 2124 | Article | Mr Magic | Danny wasn't the funniest of TV dads, but he was sincere and loving to his daughters, which are key elements to being a good father. But is it wrong to be committed to cleanliness? Yes, it is. We all have to draw the line somewhere. | Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's | Mar 20, 2015 | |
| 2125 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah, Danny was not a humorous character. More of a straight, squeaky clean type who helped keep the others grounded. | Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's | Mar 20, 2015 | |
