Not talking about the actor. Only consider the character played on television. One for the moms is coming up!

Discuss.

I picked Dr. Huxtable. I would have picked Andy because I'd like to live in North Carolina, but Andy didn't have a wife, and Aunt Bea was too high strung.

I liked the Huxtables.

I picked Danny Tanner.. He needs some voting love too! Only in his world were problems resolved in 30 minutes. Plus, all of us girls would love to live in the same house as Uncle Jessie B-) The Olsen twins were sooo cute back then.

Of course, if you pick Mr. Cunningham, you can have the Fonze as your wingman. Talk about B-) .

I haven't voted in this one yet, but I noticed both polls left out the Foremans. I wouldn't want Red Foreman to be my dad, but I would have loved having that basement.

I voted for Heathcliff Huxtable, but let me again voice some support for the Jetsons. The view from that place...wow! And a robot maid, too!

True, but the window cleaning bills would be, (clear throat), ASTROnomical. Trivia: What contains more glass - the Jetson's home or a 1975 Ford Pacer? Hmmmmmm.

Good point about the robot though, and I hear Judy plays a mean game of Tiddlywinks!

I'm gonna go with Al Bundy Part 2, Jay Pritchett from Modern Family. I think Ed O'neill is great on that show.
