Words of Wisdom From Our Fave TV Dads

In honor of Father's Day, we would like to take some time to celebrate some of our favorite TV dads. Beloved characters like Phil Dunphy, Homer Simpson, and Coach Taylor feel like they're almost family themselves sometimes, and their memorable quotes or gems of advice have stuck with us over the years. Sure, their guidance isn't always the soundest, and at times things can get a tad awkward, but we appreciate the effort, guys... Check out some quotes from TV dads we love. 

Homer Simpsons, 'The Simpsons'

Never try, kids. 

Mike Brady, 'The Brady Bunch'

Leave it to Mike Brady to give stern, sage advice. "You have to learn when to keep quiet," he tells Cindy when she blabs about Sam and Alice's business. Nobody likes a tattletale, guys. 

Coach Taylor, 'Friday Night Lights'

He's just being honest. 

Frank Costanza, 'Seinfeld'

Let your child indulge in things he likes, just keep it out of your food. 

George Bluth, 'Arrested Development'

George Bluth will wine and dine women, but he won't let them tell him what to do. Even if they're dolls. 

Jack Geller, 'Friends'

Always be remembered, even if you're not memorable. 

Tony Soprano, 'The Sopranos'

Tony Soprano puts family first. Sometimes... 

Phil Dunphy, 'Modern Family'

So true, Phil. 

Danny Tanner, 'Full House'

Danny Tanner knows. Always sell your daughter short to a prospective suitor. 

Peter Griffin, 'Family Guy'

Is Peter Griffin a genius?
