42. The Seavers (Growing Pains) 1985-1992

Fun list. I tried to guess the top 5:

5. Bundys
4. Brady's (#1)
3. Ricardo's (Lucy's always included in these lists) (not any more)
1 & 2 Simpsons(#4) & Huxtable's(#2)

Everybody makes mistakes....and they sure did with the Bundys. Probably slipped their mind.

And when I see in the list - the generic shows, and the legendary shows, it then seems really cool that Growing Pains is in it.

I can't believe they left out the Quinn/Sully/Cooper Family from Dr. Quinn. I mean that was one of the best families on TV in my opinion. I mean when Michaela first came to town, she was alone; then she inherited three children when their mother died unexpectedly. Then later she married Sully, and they all became a family. Once Sully and Michaela's daughter Katie came along, it became the perfect blended family. What more could you ask for? They laughed together, cried together, suffered loss together, triumphed together and loved together. They proved that you don't have to be related by blood to be a true family.They loved each other through thick and thin. It was amazing.

There were the Waltons and the Ingalls, why not the Quinn/Sully/Coopers? Just an observation.
