Not every dad on television is the perfect father figure. Here are just a few of some of TV\'s worst dads.

Frank Gallagher
Frank Gallagher has six kids, but hasn't parented a day in his life. This "Shameless" dad spends more time at the bar and on the streets than with his children.
Don Draper
"Mad Men's" Don Draper may like to hear himself talk to the ladies, but he promptly shuts the door on his son Bobby after saying just a few cold words.
Al Bundy
"Married With Children's" infamous dad, Al Bundy, is a little too honest with his son Bud when they're looking at his son's baby book.
"Frankly, you were one ugly baby," he told Bud with a smile.

Homer Simpson
It's safe to say that Homer sometimes loves his donuts more than he loves his children, since he often tries to choke Bart.
"I'll mace you good!"... Enough said.
Peter Griffin
"Family Guy's" morally challenged Peter Griffin rarely exhibits great parenting skills -- even when his daughter Meg threatens to take her own life.

Walter White
"Breaking Bad" is supposed to be about a father who enters the drug trade to provide for his family. But once Walter White gets deep into the lucrative business, he becomes more corrupt and the show loses its father figure.
Frank Costanza
Frank Costanza's reaction to his son's death on "Seinfeld" is a testament to his questionable parenting throughout George's life. When the Yankees owner delivers the news of George's death, Frank talks sports and completely neglects the news of his son's passing.
Nicholas Brody
Who matters more? The CIA or Nicholas Brody's daughter, Dana? Throughout the "Homeland" series, Body's commitment to his family is questioned as much as his commitment to his country.
Archie Bunker
Always in disagreement with his family, Archie may technically be a good father, but is far from a welcoming father-in-law.
Tywin Lannister
Telling your son that you wanted to kill him on the day he was born makes this "Game of Thrones" father a less-than-ideal dad.
