"Pop Cuolture Dads"

Those caught in the spotlight tend to shout "Hi Mom!" but say nothing about their poor father. This week, Tidbits gives some overdue recognition to father, real and fictional.

1. Earle Hyman played Bill Cosby's Dad on The Cosby Show, even though he is only nine years older than the comedian. Hyman has acted on-and-off in Norway since the 1950's and maintains a home there. He also speaks fluent Norwegian.

2.According to the pro Football Hall of Fame, only a few NFL quarterback fathers have had sons who've followed in their footsteps. The short list includes Archie Mannning and his son Brian; and Phil Simms and son Chris.

For his first birthday in 1921 , Christopher Robin Milne received a teddy bear named Edward. The bear was Chistopher's constant companion, and he even carried on long conversations with Edward. Christopher's father wrote a series of stories about his son and the teddy who he nicknamed "Winnie" after a real bear named Winnipeg that lived at the London Zoo.
