Other relationships are more complicated and face situations like jealousy or strife.
At the end of the day, however, most fathers and sons are able to develop a special bond and the exact proclivities of these bonds can drastically change from one family to the next. Below is a list of the 20 most epic Father and Son bonds. The list follows no specific order.
Martin And Frasier Crane – Frasier
The character of Martin Crane played sublimely by the late John Mahoney, showed that men can grow to have significantly different personalities than their Fathers. Martin was a rough around the edges retired police officer while his sons, Frasier and Niles, became stiff psychiatrists. The boys, of course, were more influenced by their late Mother.
That doesn’t mean that Martin did not love and appreciate his sons. While he was quick to joke about their eccentricities, Martin dearly loved his sons. Frasier took his Father into his home and the two men were able to bond despite their vast differences.
