A
holiday like Father’s Day reminds us there are so many different
kinds of families out there. Girls today aren’t just raised in one
kind of household and how cool is it that so many different families
are represented on some of our fave TV shows?
This
Father’s Day treat your dad, dads, stepfather, grandpa, uncle,
legal guardian, whoever else plays the “dad” part or, if you
don’t have a father figure, your mama (Hey, why just give her one
day?) to something super special. We’re thinking how we would treat
these top TV dads, too.
Burt
Hummel
We
love, love, LOVE Papa Hummel on Glee!
Whether he is fighting for his son Kurt’s safety, serving as a
father figure to Finn, or being all around amazing, Burt shines as a
dad.
Spencer
Shay
So,
Spencer (iCarly)
is actually a big bro, but he is Carly’s legal guardian and
therefore can be seen as someone to celebrate on Father’s Day.
Want to get creative? Why not make Dad a kooky sculpture, using
Spencer as inspiration?
Phil
Dunphy, Jay Pritchett, Cameron Tucker and Mitchell Pritchett
See
what we mean about representing all sorts of families? The super
funny Modern
Family
showcases a traditional family (mom, dad and kids), a multicultural
family, and gay parents with an adopted daughter. Despite the range
of dad awesomeness on this show, they all manage to be there (often
embarrassingly) for their kids.
Colonel
Fields
While
he is the reason why one of the Pretty
Little Liars
is moving to Texas, Emily’s dad really tries to accept his
daughter’s sexuality and always makes sure she knows she will
always
be his little girl. Aww!
Jerry
Russo
Alex,
Justin and Max’s dad on Wizards
of Waverly Place
isn’t just that, but also their magic tutor. Plus, he gave up his
magic so he could marry their mom. Hey, if he hadn’t, the Russo
kids wouldn’t exist. Think about it…
Which
TV dad most resembles your own? Blog about it, babes.
