VIDEO: The Best TV Dads Through the Decades

In case you forgot, Father's Day is this upcoming Sunday. In honor of Dads everywhere and our kick-ass book, "My Dad is a Bro," we've teamed up with the astute and highly-talented video editor, Oliver Noble, to create a mash-up of the best Dads to grace the small screen over the past half a century. You better believe Al Bundy make an appearance. As does Frank Costanza, Hank Moody, Danny Tanner, Michael Blueth, and Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable.  Go pick up a copy of "My Dad is a Bro" on Amazon or wherever the heck you normally buy books. In related news, you can still win a bunch of really awesome stuff by Tweeting us "My Dad is a Bro" photos or posting them on our Facebook wall. Check out the mash-up after the jump.
