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.		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
2127	Article	Mr Magic	I actually pick Bob Saget as the host of America's Funniest Home Videos over his Danny Tanner character anyday.	Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's	Mar 21, 2015
2094	Article	Vaporman87	For me, I look back on the 90's as two parts. The first part being the early 90's (1990 to the end of 1992). This part very much felt (and I still recall it as) like an extension of the 80's. I think that is mainly because I was still in high school during those years. However, I think there is some truth in saying that much of the culture, from music to television to even the words we spoke, remained relevant. I see those years as being ALMOST as golden as the 80's. Everything after 1992 I see as a transition period. Not only for me, but for pop culture in general. A period of transition from the 80's and what they were all about, to the 2000's and what they were all about. These were the years that spawned the internet after all. But even our musical tastes, the advent of computer graphics and their extensive use in film, the cartoons being watched and their focus on nonsensical humor as opposed life lessons, all of this was in a process of change. I don't know that I see that period as having it's own identity as much as I see at as growing pains for popular culture as it would become in the new millennium.

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
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.
