TV's Best/Worst Father Figures
Posted on 6/16/13 at 6:35 pm
Posted on 6/16/13 at 6:35 pm
The only rules here is that both father/child have to be a central characters. For eg, Shane Vendrell and his son aren't elliglbe because Jackson was a baby. McNulty's sons were barely in the story. Doesn't have to be blood related either.
So best father figure:
Ned Stark
Worst father figure:
1. Arlo Givens- only at the #1 spot because of his outright hatred of his son AND his many attempts to have his son killed or betrayed. Tywin Lannister is father of the year compared to him.
who you got?

see my first post.
I don't think you've seen Justifed. Lannister refused on several occasions to kill Tyrion, fought a war for his children. Arlo makes Tywin Lannister look like Father Knows Best.

They're both good choices.
How does the guy from Justified make Tywin a good father?
They're unrelated.

Worst - the man from Tallahassee

I've seen Justified and I agree, Arlo is a complete POS.
However, TL went to war over family honor, NOT because of his kids. You can see he hates Tyrion, but he could not let the Lannisters suffer the slight.

Arlo wouldn't go to war in Westeros for Raylan
I choose Arlo also.

The father in beasts of the southern wild had issues, like mental/ physical medical issues. He wasn't great but he was trying.
He did build his daughter a sweet tree house.

Worst - Hal Karp, Undeclared
Crashes his son's first day of college by taking him away from a party to say him and his mom are divorcing. Spends the rest of the semester hanging out with Steven's friends and banging his RA.

First two by a mile have already been posted:
1A. Ned the GOAT Stark
1B. Jonathan Kent
Close second to those two would be Sandy from The OC, biggest baller on that show.
Worst:
Shawn's dad on BMW was pretty shitty if I remember correctly (been ages since I saw it)
I forget his name, but Sandy's wife's dad was a major dickhead in The OC.
