These Are The Best TV Dads To Ever Grace The Small Screen

Phil Dunphy Is A Modern Dad In Modern Family

As times have changed we’ve seen a shift in the role of the TV dad. Phil Dunphy of Modern Family fame walks a fine line between “cool” dad and dispenser of knowledge for his children.

What touches me the most about Dunphy’s character is his ability to calmly speak to his children while fully accepting the hiccups that come along with living in a big modern family. I also can’t get enough of his awful puns and dad jokes, both of which I am guilty of with my own children on a daily basis.
