We knew Mr. Roger’s would be the winner when you brought him into the fight. I mean, let’s face it, he’s incomparable. Even Uncle Phil would have bowed down. 😆
Not until reading this post had I ever considered how much I disliked almost all of them. It would take a day to unpack that. I did like Charles Ingalls and the dad from the Waltons. I have never felt more uncool.
Charles Ingalls. Always and forever.
Yes he was the GOAT 🙌
Yes!
Howard Cunningham. Man I remember as kid wishing so badly that my dad was like him. He was just there for his kids.
Totally agree! I liked Steven Keaton, Tony Micelli, and Danny Tanner too. 🥰 great dads. (And good Dads of girls)
Love this!
Thanks!
Al Bundy kept it real
Your winner is the right one! Most influential in my life, for sure.
Agree!
Honorable mention to Jack Arnold. The Wonder Years helped us understand our parents.
What a great reflection.
Thank you, Jeffrey!
Such a nostalgic yet so now way of putting it! Great post.
Mr. Rogers. Period. Not even a contest.

Great choice, new to Mr Rogers but really enjoyed Tom Hanks’s portrayal in the lovely film about his life. (And Eddie Murphy’s spoof on SNL.)
I like that he spoke out for PBS too in Congress, stating the worth of an educational public broadcasting service.
