Which Parent(s) Would You Choose? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Seinatra · 10-06-2005, 05:19 PM

Which one of the Seinfeld parents would you LEAST liked to have raised you as a kid. I think that there is one pick that most would make for a parent to raise you, but who would you LEAST liked to have had raising you up?

Frank and Estelle Costanza
Babs Kramer
Alton Benes
Helen and Morty Seinfeld

OOPS-I obviously didn't read it all the way through. I just read the headline. Anyway, I think Alton Benes was the scariest of all the parents. Even though his character was only on the show once.

Alton Benes

slackermonkey · 10-10-2005, 04:28 AM

The Costanzas. Benes you could at least distance yourself from.

Seinatra · 10-10-2005, 05:29 PM

Good point.

I'm leaning towards Babs Kramer as the least valuable parent. Drug addiction, hooking up with all sorts of weird men (including Newman) ....

mr brownstone · 01-23-2006, 04:05 AM

id hate to have been raised by Bennes. and mrs kramer seemed nice but she looked pretty white trashy. being raised by the seinfelds or the costanzas would have been hilarious lol. "u shouldnt have taken the pen!" "dont eat so fast u cant taste it!"

Hennigans Spokesman · 02-10-2006, 11:41 AM

I'm gonna say Alton Benes.

Unscarred · 04-04-2006, 11:47 AM

Yeah Mr Benes was a fricken nightmare, but as someone said, getting away from him is probaly easier than getting away from the crazy costanzas. They would drive me absolutely insane.

I don't think I could last more than 5 minutes with the Costanzas. *running screaming for the hills*

Me either! And especially with Mrs. Constanza's constant "whining and screaming!" !! No wonder George is nuts!

Andrea

PS: But as for the ones I would chose as my parents, I guess Jerry's parents. Who wouldn't love a mom who is appalled if someone doesn't like her kid?

Yes, Morty and Helen were definitely cool parents.

It's hard for me to choose between the Seinfelds or the Costanzas.

sunshinefizzy · 10-25-2008, 09:03 PM

If Alton Benes was my father I'd be wearing diapers into my 30's. The others well, it'd just be comedy for me.
