"Father's Day is the perfect time to thank your dad for all his hard work with cards, whiskey, and golf-themed socks. Or, if you're really cheap, you can just watch a really good father-oriented episode of television with him.
There are a lot of different types of dads, and over time, TV has evolved to represent the myriad kinds of men we have in our own lives. Wherein once upon a time we were presented with the ideal, masculine, briefcase-toting, working father, we now have dads to match the men we actually know. Soft, funny, angry, drunk, absent, silly: dads and father figures of all shapes are represented on shows these days.
No matter your own relationship with your dad, there's likely a father-child relationship on TV that matches even the most awkward of familial situations, and we've put together a list of some of the best dad-centric TV episodes to celebrate that."
