Onscreen they presented the quintessential family man. Off screen was a far different matter. From smoking crack with hobo's through to dying of colon related dieseases - here's Five TV Dad's Who Were Crap In Real Life.
Reginald VelJohnson - Family Matters
He was the original black cranky fat man and he got to slap Urkel around. Cool huh? Better yet are the vicious rumours about him being gay. Uh-oh. His partner of choice? Fat black man doppelganger James Avery, the father from Fresh Prince. Just imagine having relations with a mirror image of yourself...I'd just prefer a wangle and a cup of tea thanks. Read more vitriol here on cosmodromemag.com. Hilarious what you can write on teh intrawebz.
Robert Reed - The Brady Bunch
Having an instant family and the possibility for a regimented family breeding plan wasn't enough for him. Reed was involved in constant struggles with script writers because of the motivations of characters or on their use of satire and farce. It was a TV show about 6 kids who didn't shag, what wasn't farcical about that? He was also a homo, on the sly apparently. His Wikipedia page credits him with threatening his partners after their love snuggles. So he probably said something like "Now that you've been inside me, it'll stay inside these walls or help me god I'll go all Brady on your ass" I like to think so at least. He had the HIV (pronounced "H-if" I believe) and died of Colon cancer in 1992.
Conrad Bain - Diff'rent Strokes
He's an ok dude. I checked it all out. Sure, Willis and Dana Plato struggled with crime and death respectively and Gary Coleman is still a virgin but Conrad ended up ok. So where was the duty of care? You helped these kids grow up on TV Conrad. You moulded them into a thief, a dead slut and a frigid midget, surely you should take some of the heat for that. Instead, you aged like a turtle and you have a twin who rides on your coat tails. Hollywood makes me sick.
Read more here. Someone has spent too much time compiling their own list. Lists are for losers buddy!
Earl Sneed Sinclair - Dinosaurs
Worst of the lot in my opinion. His whole family is exctinct and dead (didn't need the dead after exctinct I know, just wanted to be dramatic). The baby was onto a good thing, he is not the mama, just a crap father who failed on camera and off camera as well.
Max Wright - Alf
Alf finished in 1990 which seems to be a lifetime ago. Between now and then Max has been busy. He got a DUI in 2000 and was last seen smoking crack and engaging in gay acts with homeless men in 2005. Read more about it here. Things are looking up. He's recently gotten a gig impersonating SVU's Dann Florek at charity functions.
