For this round of our TV Olympics (our final poll will launch Sunday), we’re looking at father/son duos! There are a few trios in this poll, since for several of these dads, the bond between both sons seemed equally strong. For others, one father/son relationship seemed more dynamic that the other (and hence more worthy of the term “duo”).
This poll is for actual fathers (biological and adoptive, but not simply father-figures), and since the relationship between dad and son is a key part of the poll, they need to have appeared in a number of episodes together, and infant sons are excluded. If you know of any duos you believe should be in the poll, leave their names and the show in a comment!
Poll will be open for one week, and you can choose up to 3 of your favorite dad/son duos. Remember to keep checking the main event page for all the current polls and results!

Surely you know that TV shows existed before 1984.
Family makes for really interesting dynamics, because you have all those years of history and baggage, plus those unbreakable bonds that will push you to do anything for each other. The Winchesters are what makes Supernatural so interesting, beyond the hunting evil. It’s also what finally got me into Fringe. I couldn’t really buy the “fringe science” in the beginning, but the relationship between Walter and Peter made me keep watching.
I love John/Dean and Sam family. They are so real and tight with each other!
