The Dads & Daughters Project: March 2007

5 best DADS on Television:

1. Sandy Cohen from the O.C.

“The next time you think about raising your fists,

you better open your mouth and talk.”

Who wouldn’t want to have a cool dad like Sandy Cohen? He’s known in the hit series the O.C. as being a hip dad, the cool father who understands the concerns of the modern teenager. His character showed strong sense of sympathy and support to those who come to him to ask for advice. He’s a good problem-solver, someone who would make you think and realize the solutions on your own.

2. Jonathan Kent from Smallville

Who wouldn’t admire a dad who raised a man who saves the world? Jonathan Kent, Clark’s adoptive father, plays a significant role in the TV series Smallville. He’s one of the best dads on TV because of the way he accepted his son, treating him like a real human being. He supported him and protected his identity. Although Clark was the one who had the gift to save the world, Jonathan kept him in his place, guided him and taught him the ways of the world.

3. Daduds from Maging Sino Ka Man

We all know the loud and ragged Daduds from the teleserye Maging Sino Ka Man. Daduds raised his 2 boys well amidst the hardships of poverty and his fatal sickness. He is considered as one of the best dads on TV because of being able to raise his sons in a dignified way. Even though his character sometimes showed aggressive behavior, he was still able to educate his children about what is true and important in life. He taught them the value of being hard-working and of being a good person.

4. Enteng from Okay Ka Fairy Ko

Back in the late 90s, Okay Ka Fairy Ko was aired once a week as a family show enjoyed by many. And until now, we are still entertained by Enteng’s adventures because of the three Okay Ka Fairy Ko movies produced. Enteng’s wit and humor made him one of the best dads on TV. Because of his humor, he is able to keep his family alive and intact. He was able to prove that even though he is the only mortal being in his household, he was able to show that having powers is not the only way to make everything right. Enteng was not just a good husband but also a good father. He was able to teach his daughter valuable lessons in a comedic fashion.
