For Father’s Day, we’re honoring the TV patriarchs we always wished to call “Dad” ourselves. Remember Uncle Phil of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” Tony Micelli of “Who’s the Boss?” and Dan Conner of "Roseanne?” They weren’t just hilarious and entertaining archetypes — their diverse socioeconomic statuses, gender beliefs and family structures taught us that no household looks the same.
