The best TV Dads become iconic - capturing the ideal of a generation and changing radically over the years. From Ward Cleaver to Bill Cosby to Phil Dunphy, Dads on television dispense advice, act goofy, hold down 9-to-5 jobs, and approach raising their children with attitudes ranging from indulgence to deep understanding and acceptance.

Through June 16, visitors can choose their favorite TV Dads from seeded pairings on ManoftheHouse.com. Every Monday the next round of match-ups will be posted, and the field of contenders will be narrowed through the audience votes. The "World's Greatest TV Dad" will be announced on just before Father's Day on Friday, June 17.

The pool of competitors were selected and seeded by the ManoftheHouse.com editorial team based up four criteria:
1. Shared household responsibilities
2. Relationship with children
3. Personal health/style/appearance
4. Work/family balance

In addition to voting for the winning Dad, ManoftheHouse.com wants Moms and Dads to weigh in on the attributes they believe make a good father and how this parenting paradigm has shifted over the last fifty years!

What a great contest that ManoftheHouse.com has thought of! I grew up watching a lot of these dads on tv and always found myself taking a little from each one that I thought was a great, realistic characteristic from them. I know it sounds silly and these shows aren't reality but scripted, but we, as dads can still take qualities from these created characters. For example, I always liked how the dad from Good Times was stern but fair and how Bill Cosby knew how to bring comedy into even the smallest life lessons for his kids. I also liked the old-fashioned feel of Michael Landon as a dad on Little House on the Prairie as well. Also, who can forget how goofy but lovable dads like Hayden Fox and Danny Tanner. All of these characters showed great qualities that dads can relate to and take from. So have fun voting on this great tv dad tournament!

Bill Cosby is my favorite & I hope he wins!
