We all grew up watching our beloved television families, from the Ricardos to the Cunninghams to the Keatons.  But some families were just so cool we wouldn't mind joining them, even if it were just for Thanksgiving dinner.  Here, we give you 7 TV families we'd love to be a part of.

7.  The Seavers (Growing Pains)

Why?

A truly loving couple who support each other and their kids?  AND a hot older brother?  Sign us up!

Who We'd Replace

Chrissy Seaver, who was an annoying last-ditch attempt to inject a little cuteness into the family.  It didn't work.

6.  The Addams (The Addams Family)

Why?

They're creepy, and they're kooky!  Mysterious and spooky!  They're also strong individuals with a tremendous zest for life.

Who We'd Replace

Cousin Itt.  He brings nothing to the table but hairballs.

5.  The Bradys (The Brady Bunch)

Why?

There's something endearing about the saccharine-sweet blended family life of the Bradys.  Throw in a sassy housekeeper, and you got yourself a winner.

Who We'd Replace

Jan, if only to stop the constant "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"  What a wet blanket, sheesh!

4.  The Simpsons (The Simpsons)

Why?

Sure, you'd have a dimwitted, borderline-alcoholic father and a repressed mother, but you'd sure have fun (traveling the world, hobnobbing with celebrities, defying the laws of physics). 

Who We'd Replace

Sorry, Lisa, but you can be a pill sometimes.  We're just sayin'.

3.  The Bluths (Arrested Development)

Why?

They've had their scrapes with the law, but the Bluths are hilarious and maudlin (Lucille), loyal and outspoken.  We'd watch GOB perform his tricks (excuse us, illusions) any day.

Who We'd Replace

Maeby Bluth.  As a cynical teen, she's the least funny, and we want the funny!

2.  The Stephens (Bewitched)

Why?

Your mom is magical.  How cool is that?!

Who We'd Replace

Dick Sargent, for obvious reasons.

1.  The Huxtables (The Cosby Show)

Why?

Cool, together mom.  A dad with unlimited access to pudding pops.  Awesome dance routines.  The Huxtables are clearly the reigning champ of TV families.

Who We'd Replace

Heathcliff.  Just kidding.  We'd of course replace Vanessa, who whined and complained through 8 seasons.
