TV Guide Picks TV's Top 50 Families Of All Time


I'm a TV nut, I can't get enough of my favorite shows.  So like any good TV fantatic I subscribe to TV Guide, the handbook of all things television.  I got next weeks issue in the mail today and the cover story is their ranking of the Top 50 TV families of all time, so I thought I would share who made the list and in the order they were ranked.

1.  The Bradys from "The Brady Bunch"
2.  The Huxtables from "The Cosby Show"
3.  The Bunkers from "All in the Family"
4.  The Simpsons from "The Simpsons"
5.  The Sopranos from "The Sopranos"
6.  The Waltons from "The Waltons"
7.  The Conners from "Roseanne"
8.  The Cleavers from "Leave it to Beaver"
9.  The Ewings from "Dallas"
10.  The Barones from "Everybody Loves Raymond"
11.  The Pritchetts from "Modern Family"
12.  The Clampetts from "The Beverly Hillbillies"
13.  The Cunninghams from "Happy Days"
14.  The Ingallses from "Little House on the Prairie"
15.  The Keatons from "Family Ties"
16.  The Jeffersons from "The Jeffersons"


17.  The Tates and The Campbells from "Soap"
18.  The Taylors from "The Andy Griffith Show"
19.  The Addamses from "The Addams Family"
20.  The Evanses from "Good Times"
21.  The Cartwrights from "Bonanza"


22.  The Bluths from "Arrested Development"
23.  The Lopez' from "George Lopez"
24.  The Flintstones from "The Flintstones"
25.  The Osbournes from "The Osbournes"
26.  The Fishers from "Six Feet Under"
27.  The Camdens from "7th Heaven"
28.  The Arnolds from "The Wonder Years"
29.  The Griffins from "Family Guy"
30.  The Rocks from "Everybody Hates Chris"
31.  Malcom's Family from "Malcom in the Middle"
32.  The Patridges from "The Partridge Family"
33.  The Robinsons from "Lost in Space"
34.  The Taylors from "Friday Night Lights"
35.  The Carringtons from "Dynasty"
36.  The Dubois from "Medium"
37.  The Munsters from "The Munsters"


38.  The Andersons from "Father Knows Best"
39.  The Tanners from "Full House"
40.  The Bradfords from "Eight is Enough"
41.  The Salingers from "Party of Five"
42.  The Seavers from "Growing Pains"
43.  The Davis' from "Family Affair"
44.  The Douglas' from "My Three Sons"
45.  The Gilmores from "The Gilmore Girls"
46.  The Henricksons from "Big Love"
47.  The Hecks from "The Middle"
48.  The Petries from "The Dick Van Dyke Show"
49.  The Walshes from "Beverly Hills, 90210"
50.  The Kardashians from "Keeping Up with the Kardashians"

There is the list and I must say while I'm happy about some of them, The Cartwrights for example, I'm a little dissapointed that two reality show families made the list.  I'm not saying they are "bad" families but this should be about families that aren't using the medium of television to make a buck.  Some of the families I wish would have made the list are The Barkleys from "The Big Valley", The Stephens' from "Bewitched", and The Jestsons from "The Jetsons".

Some other families that I think got left out for some odd reason are; The Bundys from "Married, With Children", The Hogans from "The Hogan Family" the sitcom not the reality show, The Papadopolis' from "Webster", The Drummond/Jacksons from "Diff'rent Strokes", The Tanners from "Alf", The Lawsons from "Small Wonder", The Lamberts from "Step By Step",  and The Taylors from "Home Improvement".

So which of your favorites made the list and which should have made the list?
