Porter Ricks, DILF

What is it about Dads that turns us on? Is it that the young children hanging on their arms and legs are living proof of their virility? Do we key into their paternal instinct, longing to shrink down and be enfolded in their fatherly strength?

My nomination for sexiest TV dad of all time is Porter Ricks, the father on Flipper, played by Brian Kelly. It used to be his elder son, Sandy, the blond boy-siren played by Luke Halpin, who enflamed my elementary school lust. But when Flipper came out on DVD, my grown-up passions went right for Dad.



Athletic, loving, and oh so very hot, Porter Ricks is my #1 DILF. Luckily, Flipper is an undersea adventure, taking place in steamy Florida, so there is ample opportunity to enjoy Porter stripped down to his swim trunks, displaying plenty of paternal muscle and dark body hair.











And underneath all the big beef, his character, a widower, exudes a deep and lonely sadness that makes him all the more sensitive... and all the sexier.



Am I too old to be adopted?








Watch this episode of Flipper:






Who gets your nomination for the sexiest TV dad ever?

    I always found Hugh Beaumont sexy. And he has a nice chest here, too:

    Rob, yes definitely Hugh Beaumont. And before "Beaver" he appeared in several Noir and detective films in which he played somewhat darker characters and was sexy as hell. The link you provided brings this out, along with a couple of knock-out pics. Thanks.

    I was a big fan of that guy (Brian Kelly), he was a sexy man at that time. I'm a big fan of Rob and yo too but you are younger than me so, you're not daddies to me but really good friends. One that i love was Robert Conrad, in wild wild west, sexy man.

    Kelly, Reynolds and Conrad were all hot. I'll add Carl Betz (Donna Reed Show) and, especially, Bill Bixby (Courtship of Eddie's Father).

    Hi Jim, I didn't know Carl Betz so I just looked him up - you're right, he was hot. And Bill Bixby - great addition - I had a crush on him, because he reminded me of an uncle of mine (who I admit I also had a crush on)

    I'm currently crushing on Ty Burrell of Modern Family. And the father/son dads on Raising Hope. And how could I leave out KYLE CHANDLER!!!

    Hi Jim,

    Thanks for being interested in my other blog. Leave me a comment over there sometime!

    I must confess that, living in a current-day-TV vacuum as I do, I didn't know any of the dads you suggested - so I just looked them up. Well, you have great taste in dads! I thought Kyle Chandler actually bears a resemblance to Brian Kelly, what do you think?

    The Chandler/Kelly comparison had occurred to me too. If you get a chance to watch "Friday Night Lights," you'll fall for Chandler. I think there's one more episode that hasn't aired. Will probably be on Friday evening on NBC.

    Thank you, Mark, for posting about one of my all-time fave on-screen hunks: Brian Kelly. I have just "discovered" your blog and look forward to new posts and to making my way through your archives. And, coincidentally enough, I am also making my way through Friday Night Lights on Netflix. I think the Kyle Chandler / Brian Kelly comparison is apt - and it sure does provoke a fantasy of the two of them rolling around together. Ahhhhhhhh.......

    Hi NK, Thanks for writing. I'm so glad you found the blog - and share my appreciation for Brian Kelly. He is a good man for spawning fantasies...
    I hope you enjoy the back posts in the archives, and keep in touch.
    Mark

    Love the pictures of hairy muscle dad Brian Kelly. He always got to me everytime I watched "Flipper". I never cared about the dolphin. I loved Daddy!
