Who’s the daddiest TV dad of all time?

Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) is technically only the father of Julie (Aimee Teegarden) and, as of a wonderful, scene in the season-two premiere, Gracie Bell. But he’s also, really, the dad to all of the football players on the Panthers—and later, the Lions—not to mention…kind of the whole town. (Seriously, at one point in this , he and his wife Tami [Connie Britton] basically become Dillon’s go-to problem-solving duo.) He’s able to put your ass in gear when he sees you slacking off, pick you up when you’re at your lowest, and, of course, inspire the hell out of you with a rousing speech. Plus, just look at this guy. That’s some real-deal, no-nonsense big-dad energy right there. [Tim Lowery]
