James Evans. No contest.
Imma give some of y'all a pass
Cause I know y'all are young.

I'm glad y'all didn't mention moesha's dad.
I hated him and the stepmom.

Cosby is the most iconic by far, but here's my personal favorite...

[H. Selassie]

Scene legit makes me . One of the most powerful moments in TV history.

Lol @ Carl letting Urkel troll him

If Carl ended up shooting Urkel he woulda been the GOAT

Urkel would come all up in the house without knocking, car stayed wrecking their house, and he was harassing and stalking that mans daughter. He would've had the right to shoot his ass

James was not better than uncle phill he had his family living in the projects.

How does that even matter?

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

James was not better than uncle phill he had his family living in the projects.

because he dropped out of high school to take care of his family when his father left

he also had a chance to make big money, working on the Alaskan pipeline but his family begged him to stay. he fought them and put his foot down to do it anyway, but then found out michael was trying to join a gang, so he couldn't leave his kids without a father at home

What do you mean why does that matter? They was living in the projects James could barely afford to pay rent.

Not saying James was a bad father but I put uncle Phil above him

Sellout post.

Got to be the worst reasoning ever. He was a black man raising his family the best he could in the inner city. He was the black father that was the epitome of black fatherhood of the time.

Most iconic? It's clearly Cliff Huxtable. There's actually no debate.

Who do you LIKE the most? That's where opinions can come in.

Exactly.....cliff Hux is the icon....period....



But James Evans is the GOAT


Uncle Phil is the Heir apparent.....


And Fred G Sanford and George Jefferson are the OG originators........







The rest just opportune benefactors
