2. If Not The Darrin Stephens Family...
It might be the Ben Cartwright family. --- Both just look like they would be fun.

3. The Robinsons... and you could fly to far away planets,
play tricks on Dr. Smith... and get warned in the face of hidden danger by a robot that looks like it has vacuum cleaner arms.

4. Cosby Show
Like the only black guy in some all-white sitcoms, as the sole white guy I would exist only to further stereotypes about my race. And plus the Cosbys are cool.

12. I second the Addams family.
There was so much love and affection in that family. You could tell, besides Gomez and Morticia, that everyone loved each other very much...even Lurch was considered a member of the family. :-)

6. The Simpsons
I hear being animated takes pounds off.

Seriously though, I'd be a Soprano. Lots of cash to swipe from Dad's hiding places and great food.

11. When I was a kid I wanted to be in the Brady Bunch
because both parents loved one another.

I don't know what TV family I'd like to be a part of. I feel like I grew up in the Connor household from Roseanne. Only there were seven of us instead of three.

35. The Bradys Were A Little Hectic For Me... But I Loved Their House!!
Even if the kids DID have to share a bathroom, it was cool.

26. Funny you should ask - I just saw her tonight on "Friends"
Playing Rachel's sister. I thought she looked familiar, but didn't recognize her; saw her name in the credits.

19. Depends on how you define family...
I always wanted to be one of Mr. Roper's nephews... the gay one, naturally. :D

Or Archie Bunker's liberal nephew...

Or Al Bundy's cousin...

25. "Family"
A series in the 80s. They weren't perfect but they loved each other, were honest w/ each other & didn't seem to hurt each other. Would've loved for my mother to have been like the mom on that show.

32. Sounds good to me!! I totally forgot about
this TV family. I was focused on sitcoms. I wouldn't mind being in the Sopranos. A lot of money and good food, sounds good!
