The dad: Mike Brady (Robert Reed), The Brady Bunch

Father to: Greg (Barry Williams), Peter (Christopher Knight), Bobby Brady (Mike Lookinland), Marcia (Maureen McCormick), Jan (Eve Plumb) and Cindy (Susan Olsen).

Why he's a rad dad: Mike Brady is TV's most iconic father. He had a solution for everything, and never lost his cool even when times were tough. He taught an entire generation that no one likes a tattle-tail, and even let his kids start their own pop group. And when Marcia's nose was hit by a football, it was Mike who taught her that it's what's on the inside that counts.
