This thread was inspired by David Alan Greer from The Carmichael Show and go me thinking who was the most iconic Black Father for a sitcom 
SPOILER WARNING: If you haven't seen any of these classic sitcoms in their entirety then you might wanna leave.....
Fred G. Sanford (Sanford & Son)
Pros: Don’t take no shyt off whitey, Gives great wisdom to his son, got more jokes than a lil bit, smooth talker
Cons: This nikka was a thief, very irritable and stubborn, prejudice as hell, kinda dusty
James Evans Sr. (Good Times)
Pros: Hard Working, Kept his kids in check, didn’t trust The Government/”The Man”
Cons: They killed my nikka off man
Dr. Heathcliff ‘Cliff’ Huxtable (The Cosby Show)
Pros: Successful OB/GYN, had a beautiful, large family, competitive, jazz enthusiast
Cons: “Too damn perfect”, nikka be stretching the truth, his daughters were all over the damn place
Philip Banks (The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air)
Pros: Very Successful Lawyer & Judge. My nikka got a mean hook for your ass if you mention his moms, quick to check whitey, a real father to Will
Cons: Low-key forgot where he came from, bougie, got some spoiled ass kids
Carl Winslow (Family Matters)
Pros: Provided a stable household and even gave his bum as sister-n-law and her seed a place to stay. Quick to check racism. An upstanding pillar of black excellence in the police force
Cons: My nikka lost one of his daughters and never found her
, constantly let Urkel troll him 
John ‘Pops’ Williams (The Wayans Bros.)
Pros: Runs successful restaurant, semi-successful singing career, won’t hesitate to break out the white belt
Cons: Goofy, Tacky as shyt!, cheap as hell too
Michael Kyle (My Wife & Kids)
Pros: Taught his kids valuable lessons, very witty and comical, supportive of wife
Cons: Lets his son’s father-n-law punk him out, this nikka actually used botox
, always getting sonned by Franklin, oldest son dumb as a rock, Traded in his dark skin daughter for a light skin one 
Joe Carmichael (The Carmichael Show)
Pros: Outspoken, Keeps up with the times, very open-minded, hilarious
Cons: Trump Supporter, Had A Secret Son, Raised 2 bytch-Ass nikkas that he calls sons
Now I know there's alot of other popular black father I could of listed like George Jefferson (The Jeffersons), Darryl Hughley (The Hughleys),Frank Mitchell (Moesha) , Julius (Everybody Hates Chris) or Robert Peterson (Parent Hood) but these were the ones that immediately stood out to me. 
If you feel there's a better candidate then by all means state your case, or if you want add info about some of the candidates I missed.

when he passed 
you acting like he didn't act brand new when he had that journalist do that piece on him and then got embarrassed when Will told him that Uncle Phil use to be pig farmer. Had his Moms and Pops sick at him over that....
