Father’s Day is just around the corner and, as such, what better Top 5 Wednesday topic than our favorite fictional fathers and father figures! Trying to come up with answers for this made me realize how there really aren’t a lot of great father figures in media. At least not in the books I’ve read.

For those of you who weren’t readers of YA back then, the early 2000s were filled with female protagonists who were bland and defenseless.

As per usual, I started this new series several months ago and then promptly abandoned it. Well, now I’m un-abandoning it. Today, I’m going to give you TV show recommendations based on the greatest show on television today: the consistently Emmy-snubbed It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
