Which TV Family had the wackiest relatives? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mr. Monitor · 07-04-2005, 12:30 PM

I know there were quite a few of them. But which were your absolute favorites?

TripperFan · 07-04-2005, 01:00 PM

I'd have to go with Soap on that one!

A womanizing rich father
A dingbat wife accused of murder who fell in love with her kidnapper
A father-in-law who still thought he was in WWII
A daughter who had affairs with senators and then a convicted killer
Another daughter who fell in love and married a priest then gave birth to the anti-Christ
A funny, butler who hated them all - and often told them so

A "disappearing" sherrif who was a total nutcase!
A son in the Mafia
Another son who was gay (back then it was more of an "issue")
Another son who thought his dummy, Chuck was real

"Soap" and then Frank & Marie on "Everybody Loves Raymond"

For obvious reasons, Samantha Stevens on Bewitched had some real wacky relatives. Uncle Arthur was my favorite.
