Family
Tonight when I was through watching an episode of The Waltons, I turned on TvLand and The Cosby Show was on. The former is my boy's top choice for tv family he would want to grow up in, the latter is my top choice. Do you think it says something about us that he chooses a big family growing up in rural Virginia during the depression and I choose a family headed by a doctor and a lawyer in the heart of Brooklyn? If you could choose any tv family to live in, which would it be (and why)?

Oh, please. This is such a painfully obvious question! 7th Heaven, of course. They are fun, crazy, love and serve God, and yet the adults are not afraid to admit their humanness (is that a word?) I always wanted a big brother like Matt, who would protect me and pull me out of frat parties. Don't we all crave someone who cares about us enough to protect us? Of course, I'd hate it in the moment as his little sister, Mary, did, but reflecting on my childhood and having 3 mean big brothers...I'd take humiliation and love any day over being thrown to the wolves. Wow, Sarah, you bring out such deep thoughts in me. I also love that the Reverend Camden (he's pretty cute too) and his family open their homes and hearts to all who are in need and see the situations through. Of course, it's only an hour show...but there is always resolution. I long for our home to be used this way. (I know, I know, be careful what you ask for.) My husband and I, independently of each other, have recently thought about taking in homeless people and/or pregnant women who are on their own, and others. We'll see what happens. The cool thing is that I married my Reverend Camden...yes, my husband loves God and loves to help others. He is also a Type A personality, very similar to Rev. C. Another similar characteristic is that he likes to smooch too. I'll stop there before I continue to say way too much, as that surely is my tendency.
The Addams Family.
The Andersons, for their "overly rosy portrayal of American family life."
