HereComesTheReignAgain Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Absolutely love Al and Peggy Bundy. Could also vote for Peter and Lois Griffin. Archie and Edith Bunker. Not to name drop, but I recently had dinner with Sally Struthers. She is very good friends with my girlfriend and they have worked in some musicals together. She couldn't have been any nicer. Such a great personality and very down to earth.
Chef Jim Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) This is a good and different topic and there are many ways to interpret best. I'll have to think about this when I have time. Edited May 13, 2017 by Chef Jim
Augie Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 This is a good and different topic and there are many ways to interpret best. I'll have to think about this when I have time. Roseanne Barr has never been associated with the word "best", so maybe you can start there and work backward?
Saxum Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Roseanne and Dan Connor I think you mixed this up with thread on parents you would want to get drunk with.
Bills4everNY Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Peggy and Al Bundy.............and it's not even close.Al Bundy because even though his family didn't respect him, he still tried his hardest for them.
DC Tom Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Roseanne and Dan Connor Dan Conner is one of the all-time great dads. For all the flak Roseanne Barr gets, that was a really good show for most of its run.

LI_Bills Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Rob & Laura Petrie. Great parents. Honorable mention for TV Dad, Ward Cleaver. OK, so maybe all I remember is Rob falling over the chair...can't remember their kids. The obvious from my childhood would be Mike and Carol....but eff them and their last name! I'll throw out Bill (Bixby) Corbett from Courtship of Eddies Father as best dad....widower....or was he?
WhoTom Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Carol Brady: the original MILF Ward Cleaver: the Tao of Fathers
BillsPride12 Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Jack Arnold Wasn't sure who I was going to select for best tv Mom but the more I thought about it I am also going to go with Norma Arnold
Wacka Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) hemma, on 12 May 2017 - 6:35 PM, said: Ward and June Cleaver. Even Eddy Haskill would vote for the Cleavers. Eddy is probably a felon....can he still vote? (Cant get the multi quotes to work correctly) If Eddie Haskel went into politics he would have been Bill Clinton. The actor (Ken Osmond) became an LAPD cop. "Ward, don't be too hard on the Beaver," Edited May 13, 2017 by Wacka
Mike in Horseheads Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Archie and Edith Bunker. Phil Drummond as honorable mention. Beat me to it on the Bunkers.
Deranged Rhino Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Dan Conner is one of the all-time great dads. For all the flak Roseanne Barr gets, that was a really good show for most of its run. It was. And it's coming back with a new premise that people tell me is really good and not just a standard reboot. ABC and Netflix are bidding over it last I heard. The whole cast is back too.
Chef Jim Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 I think you mixed this up with thread on parents you would want to get drunk with. And that may be what makes them the best which was my point earlier as to what defines best.
