The Brady Bunch, Mike Brady
Hey, it's no fun calling out the ultimate TV dad from the ultimate family sitcom here. I mean, Marcia didn't enter him in the Father of the Year contest for nothing. For five seasons, Mike Brady was a groovy guy, hauling his family to Hawaii, snapping on spandex as Prince Charming, and freeing Cindy's doll, Kitty Karry-all, from Brady pooch Tiger's clutches. But then, suddenly, he missed Greg's graduation (and the show's final episode; credit Robert Reed's dispute with producers)! Unthinkable! Unforgivable! My goodness, that's like rain on a sunshine day. — Joshua Rich
