Two classic TV dads from the early 90's. Let's figure this one out.
Occupation:
Carl: Is in his 40’s and has yet to rise above the rank of Sergeant in the Chicago Police Department.
Uncle Phil: Has risen from an early life on a farm to a successful lawyer and later a prominent Los Angeles judge.
Parenting:
Carl: Uses the ‘do good for others’ approach to punishment as evident by the time he made Eddie volunteer for Meals on Wheels. His kids are well-grounded and he is also a father figure for Richie and Steve. However, one has to question what kind of father would let their daughter Judy disappear one summer and never be heard from again.
Uncle Phil: You aren’t going to get much by him. He has a strong nose for discipline and will employ whatever punishment the situation calls for. He is a stubborn dad, but will eventually come around if he is out of line – an example being when Ashley wanted to go to public school. He was kind enough to bring Will into his home and treated him as his own son.
Marriage:
Carl: Clearly does not wear the pants in the family.
Uncle Phil: Clearly does not wear the pants in the family.
Are you going to just sit there and take that?:
Carl: How many times is he going to let Urkel ruin his house and sexually harass his daughter before he dishes out an old-fashion ass-kicking? The kid sued him on national TV for Christ’s sake!
Uncle Phil: Geoffrey is the man's butler. How can he let him stand there time after time and insult him in front of his family like that? He should have fired his ass a long time ago.

This is a tough call. Who would you all go with?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Carl was briefly promoted to Lieutenant, maybe even on an interim basis. I am going with Carl Winslow here. The guy has been taking out the trash on the mean streets have Chi-town for years. The man even single-handedly diffused a hostage situation.
