TV dad salaries over the years

It should be no surprise that the patriarchs of Dallas and Dynasty were among the best-paid dads in television history (adjusted for inflation), but who knew that George Jefferson pulled in more than a half-million dollars a year? Who knew that the dry-cleaning business was that lucrative? Or that Homer Simpson brings home $65,000 a year before taxes?

These, and other shocking revelations — Tony from Who’s the Boss made an estimated $21,000 a year — are from a study sponsored by Salary.com, looking at the jobs held by television dads and comparing them to the data the site collects about salaries, both nationally and regionally.

The only journalist on the list, sportswriter Ray Barone, makes $46,617. Clearly Newsday is a pretty good place to work.
