Who's The Most Iconic Black Father Of All Time In A Sitcom?

[MJ Truth]

Gotta give an honorable mention to Floyd from Smart Guy. He was raising three kids as a single parent. His youngest was a damn genius and he had two teenagers in high school. His daughter was focused on the books. His oldest son did some stupid shyt but he never got into any serious, truly immoral type fukkery that would suggest a bad upbringing, just the typical high school type fukkery. And then he was basically a father figure for Mo too. Plus he was an entrepreneur and had his family living a pretty decent lifestyle. And he managed not to have a heart attack when Yvette was trying to get them implants.

James Evans Sr. and any other pick is wrong as a motherfukker

He faked his death and left his family at the mercy of the Chicago projects



Can't blame him tho

-Couldn't keep a job

-His oldest son is retarded and a bum

-His daughter is all beauty and no brains (lowkey dumber than JJ) v

-His youngest son was a burgeoning sugarplum

-He had to fukk Florida while he had Wilona prancing around all in his face in those tight-ass outfits

Uncle Phil is the icon in my opinion, but Juilius from everybody hates Chris is my favorite tv dad.

He's too much like my own father for me to ignore.

Bernie Mack (Bernie Mack show) didn't take any shyt.
List is also missing and Roc.

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

You hush your mouth. I will not stand for James Evans SR slander!

 

[TinFoilSnapBack]

Cliff, easily.

Then, Uncle Phil and James Evans are next.

 

[Harry B]

First things first rest in peace Uncle Phil

For real, you the only father that I ever knew

As far as far reaching impact and likely perception shifting, it's Cliff... easily.

Personal fave... James... a real one.

Good thread OP.

Was just talking about the lack of "strong" black male fathers and father figures in acting roles these days.

Cliff and it's no competition.

Every dad after him patterned their game off his
Knew how to teach lessons while fukking with his kids in the process
Funny
Chef
Willing to let his kids dangle out there for a bit only to help them at the 11th hour
Kept his house open to his family even if he bytched about it
Had an awesome relationship with his wife
And not afraid to look stupid
