P.S.: Bad Daddies and Fathers Of TV and The Web

I’m breaking my older poll into two polls.
List page: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls026486883/
This is the TV and Web series version of the “Don’t Tell Me HE Gets a Card On Father’s Day Too” for movies poll suggestion found at https://www.imdb.com/list/ls026426604/.

So, which one of these fictional television and web series* fathers or daddies, and weather they are the biological fathers or not, which one of these characters least deserves a Father’s Day gift from his kids?

To talk about these bad daddies, click here.

*Meaning Netflicks, CBS Access, and high end other internet services like that. No YouTube video series.

A huge thanks goes out to Jen and Jessica.
One question: Since this covers television, it also means it includes the daytime soap operas. Who was that rich evil jerk that talked with a Greek accent on the soaps my mother used to watch? He kept faking his death and came back. He is a candidate for this poll.

All are added. As I said, I can’t watch “Game Of Thrones” if I wanted too. So i’m Totally at the mercy of others on that show. And the Sapranos.

Please no, not Mrs. Doubtfire aka Daniel Hillard, he can't be a bad daddy if his children love him and they adore him, he's a lousy husband, that's all. Just replace him by any bad daddy, let's say Michael Corleone, he killed his son's uncle after all... he and Anykin Skywalker share many similarities.

EDIT: Same with Randy the Ram, granted his daughter hated him but it was for something done off-screen before the story began, it's not quite fair to consider him a 'bad father' on the basis of actions done in the past because the movie is about his path to redemption, sure he hurts her feelings again but it wasn't on purpose, and he was the first "victim" of this mistake.

Wrong poll. Those are the movie ones. Okey I’ll switch out Mrs. Doubtfire for Micheal Corleone. I was thinking more of his father Don Vito Corleone who allowed his kids to go into a life of crime.

Remember the garden scene... Vito never wanted this for Michael :)

Forget both Vito and Micheal Corleone. Found one worse. Joe St. George From “Delores Claiborne”.

And even worse, Christopher Walken in Open Range, he's bad to a traumatizing level :)

And Joe St. George wasn’t?

I might spoil the film if I tell you what Brad Jr. did... but I think it can be considered worse than what Joe did... I do believe that there's a thin line between destroying a life and terminating it.

As in J. P. Herod in “The Quick and The Dead”? He doesn’t recognize his son and constantly puts him down and then shoots him. But he did try to talk his son out of the contest and was visibly shaken when he realizes he just killed his son. He must have cared a little.
Oh please tell the spoilers. I have seen “Open Range” and I don’t remember Christopher Walken being in it. It must be a different movie.

"Quick and the Dead" isn't known enough, besides the father-and-son relationship is only the subplot... how about Homer Simpson?

Dgranger, there are two missing images in your list if you want to replace them.

Dgranger, if you want to make your tv list again, it has gone missing.
