Christopher Hayden: One of TV's Worst 13 Dads

In honor of Father’s Day, Entertainment Weekly ran a photo tribute to TV’s worst dads. And Rory’s own Gilmore Girls father is #10 on the list:

More annoying than all of Gilmore Girls’ quirky townies combined, Christopher was the object of my wrath for several seasons — when he was even around, that is. He popped in and out of daughter Rory’s life at will — he didn’t even show up to say goodbye on the series finale! — and when he did grace Stars Hollow with his smarmy presence, Rory could only count on him to do three things: break mom Lorelai’s heart, pout like a baby when he didn’t get his way, and start a game of whose-is-bigger with Luke, the one steady father figure in Rory’s life. So what if by series’ end he paid for her Yale tuition? Dude owed her at least that much.

Wow. Yeah.
