Given the choice of one person – living or dead – who would you choose to ‘hang’ with for 24 hours?

Einstein? Julius Cesear? Shakespeare? Al Gore

Perplexing?

I won’t taint your thinking with my answer – but given how today has started in the Pop Doc’s surgery – I could probably do with 24 hours of ‘hang time’ with my chosen buddy.

If Hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play the lead role as you?

Would is be one of the pretty boys like Pitt or a glamour like Lauren Bacall?

Would Humphrey Bogart get your nod of approval or would Drew Barrymore be your first choice?

Perhaps you’re more the Charles Bronson type – or maybe Ingrid Bergman?

From where I sit – the jury is still out – though Harrison Ford does have a huge amount of appeal.

Would love to hear who you’d have in mind.

Last night, while getting my daily dose the Simpson’s – I found my mind wandering at right angles to the rest of the family – before proudly announcing that despite his bumbling nature – Homer was right up there with other TV dads as far as affording us advice about life.

From Mike Brady with his groovy clothes and fortune cookie advice to Howard Cunningham of Happy Days fame – everybody loves TV dads.

After all don’t we all wish we could solve our kids’ problems in 30 minutes or less?

A prerequisite of course is wisdom and sage advice.

From Don Porter who played Sally Field’s father in Gidget to Fred Gwynne as Herman Munster, Brian Keith in “A Family Affair” to Fred McMurray in “My 3 Sons” – TV dads (in the most part) have taught us that with a positive attitude anything is possible.

It wasn’t until I started to think about just how many TV dads there were – that the notion of a “Best Of” almost became too much.

Enter – Charles Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie, Tony Soprano from “The Soprano’s”  Andy Taylor from The Andy Griffith Show, Ward Cleaver from “Leave It to Beaver”, Jed Clampett from “The Beverly Hillbillies”, Ben Cartwright (Bonanza), Tim Taylor (Home Improvement), Gomez Addams (The Addams Family), George Jetson (The Jetsons) – the list goes on and on and on.

So just who is the best TV dad of all time?

Behind every guy with hair is a bald man screaming to be let out!

OK – perhaps not – but lets take a look at just a few of the ‘baldies’ that have captured our hearts and minds.

Afterall why spend between 7 and 15 days every year combing your hair when there’s such much more to do!

Can you imagine Michael Jordan or Yul Brynner with hair?

How about Star Trek’s Patrick Stewart?

Chris Judd, Vin Diesel, Sean Connery, Andre Agassi, Samuel L Jackson – the list goes on and on and . . . 

So who are our best loved ‘baldies’?
