Father’s Day

Retailers and greeting card companies would like you to think Father’s Day is just as important as Mother’s Day. Is that really the case?

Wake up. Sound the alarms. Father’s Day is on Sunday. It seems like we talk about Mother’s Day for a month before it actually happens, but Father’s Day just sneaks up on us every year. If this has happened to you and you aren’t prepared with a gift, it’s not too late.

It’s hard to be a good father, but it’s easy to be a lousy father since even bad mothers at least have to endure nine months of pregnancy and 27 hours of labor.

Sure, your dad said he didn’t want anything for Fathers’ Day, but that might also have been a not-so-subtle hint that thanks to the last several holidays, he has enough ties and golf balls.

Is there any home accessory more fought over than the remote control? TV-loving dads have long had to establish that they are masters of their domain by commandeering the clicker from the kids.

With television sets in just about every home these days, it’s hard not to think of the fathers of TV as family members of our own. From Homer Simpson, to Tim Taylor to Cliff Huxtable, we love TV dads for all of their charms and imperfections, and on this Father’s Day, it’s time for us to say thanks. Below, check out our 10 favorite TV dads, fathers we wish we could call our own.

We're not going to lie, this was a hard decision to make. With 43 entries there was a lot to love. We had a man showing off his sweet scooter, a guy with a mammoth Steelhead, great pics of dads and kids, and so much more! The voting was tight. At several times there was a tie, and then another tie, and then another tie... but after all the votes were counted, one photo walked away with the Camp Chef Outdoor Cook Stove from Bish's RV! Let's count down the top 3!

What makes a truly hideous tie? Is it the color? The shape? The presence of marine life? The truth is, there’s no one answer, which is why we’ve given you 10. It doesn’t matter how you knot it, ties don’t get much worse than this. Check out 10 ties to avoid buying for Father’s Day.

We've asked for you pics of dad and his trophy... here they are! Keep uploading those pics, we'll add the photos here, and we'll draw a winner on Friday, June 17th for the Camp Chef Outdoor Cook Stove from Bish's RV! Remember, entry deadline is Thursday, June 16th, at midnight! Click through to upload your pic into the Trophy Room.

It’s funny how things come full circle. I remember my dad teaching me how to bait a hook like it was last week. Today, I spend countless hours trying to help him program his remote and even more time trying to explain to him what “The Twitter” is. Just because Dad is a little behind the times, doesn’t mean that his words of wisdom don’t ring true. I compiled a list of a few timeless phrases that D

For as long as I can remember my mom has always planned stuff for Father's Day...she always calls my siblings and I to make sure that we didn't forget about Father's Day.

Dad is going to love you no matter what you get him, but seriously, he really doesn't need another tie. This year, get him something he might actually use, like one of these five ideas for Father's Day gifts that can do a heck of a lot more than a "World's Best Dad" mug.
