The Ultimate Showdown is here...

With Father's Day on the horizon, we’ve ranked our top 16 TV and movie dads in a bracket-style showdown to crown the ultimate (fictional) dad to rule them all. (Come back next week to vote on the ultimate dad essentials.)

We're using a March Madness-style elimination bracket. Each round, you'll help us decide who moves forward until only one dad stands victorious. Voting for each round stops at 2:00 PM Eastern, so don't wait to get your votes in! Be on the lookout for the next round!
