Danny Tanner, Philip Banks, Jack Pearson — the list of best TV dads goes on and on. But those are the dads of shows gone by. Here, we’re celebrating our favorite dads currently gracing the small screen.

From fathers recreated for beloved sitcom reboots to intergalactic dads trying their best to keep their (green) little ones safe, we can’t get enough of the heartwarming father figures in the four below shows.

Before you ask, no. John Dutton is not on the list. Sorry! The Dutton family ranch is simply too fraught with danger! But fret not: there is a cowboy.

Commemorate this Father’s Day 2022 with us through this list of our favorite current TV dads, who guide their children through life’s trials and tribulations on Earth and in a galaxy far, far away.
