Don't laugh, but I always wanted to be a Brady (from the Brady Bunch). I also loved the Growing Pains family (The Seavers)and the Cosby Show's Huxtable family. Who is your favorite TV family?

I always liked the Cosby show. I actually think I learned some parenting skills from Cliff and Claire.

They really did have wonderful parenting skills! I think a lot of people learned a little bit from that show. We totally need more shows like that one on television again! It used to be a great family tv night!

I thought it was great because in those old shows the kids were not allowed to be mouthy and rude. Now even cartoon characters are mouthy.

I'd have to say the Fishers on Six Feet Under. They're just more dysfunctional than my famly..and just very complex characters..they go through the weirdest and angstiest situations. We're just fond of them lol.

I think we all wanted to be part of the Brady bunch when we were kids. Over all though my favorites are a bit more realistic familys. Rosanne, Grace Under Fire, Reba, those I like and enjoy all the time. They have the humor but they are set a bit more on how people really are and not the ideal families.

I love the Connor family. Roseanne was a great show that I still watch reruns of pretty regularly. They were a real blue collar family with real problems but always had a sense of humor about it. I also loved the Keatons on Family Ties. They were a close knit family with ex-hippie, liberal, idealistic parents which I thought was cool. I liked when Elyse would try out her healthy vegetarian meals on the family. The coolest thing though was that they lived in Columbus, OH which is where I'm from.

I'm not laughing, I wanted to be Marcia Brady. I do have to agree with you on the Huxtable's. I still watch the re runs. I also liked Family Affair, a bit of a different type of family, but there was alot of love there as well.

I think my favorite tv family is the family from 7th heaven. there is so much love and support in that family and it's such a big family. i've always wanted to experience being in a big family and the fact that there is always someone there for you.

I love the Huxtables!!! So loving, caring, funny, creative. I also love the Charmed Ones (the Halliwell sisters.) I wouldn't mind being a Halliwell :)

Both friend's and SATC are like a family.. groups of friends really closely knitted together is to prefer almost :) So I'd be a member of the Friend's group!
