Everyone knows being a dad can be demanding, even on T-V. For Father's Day, TiVo commissioned an independent survey and with Kurtwood Smith, "Red Forman" of T-V's "That '70s Show," is announcing the top 25 T-V dads of all time to honor the men who take on the toughest -- and most rewarding -- job of all: fatherhood.

From Raymond Barone's kind but befuddled approach to parenting, to Homer Simpson's ubiquitous "Doh!" and throttling ways, T-V dads are as different as the audiences who love and adore them.
