Top 10 TV Parent-Child
Top 10 TV Parent-Child by Roxanne McDonald
 |
A ridiculous goal to name only the top ten TV mother/father and daughter/son moments, relationships, or scenes…, but I’m gonna try. |
There are several extant lists naming the top ten TV moms or TV dads, and just as many more calling for votes for favorites. But I’m going to cheat a little, and just name the scene or ongoing relationship or singular moment in both TV and movies (hey, I watched the movies on my
TeeVee)— between father or mother and daughter(s) or son(s)…and even include one between father-in-law and son-in-law.
It’s My List, so…
1. Relationship: Dede and Fred Tate (mother/son), Little Man Tate
2. TIED: Relationship(s): 1) Roseanne Connor and Becky, Darlene, and DJ (mother/kids), “Roseanne” [“You’re the reason animals eat their young.”]; 2) Lois and Malcolm, Reese, and Dewey (mother/sons), “Malcolm in the Middle”
3. Bedroom Scene: Andy Griffith and Opie (father/son), Episode 101 (“Opie the Birdman”), Season 4, “The Andy Griffith Show”
4. Kitchen Scene: Chief Martin Brody and Sean Brody (father/son), Jaws
5. Relationship(s): Ruth Fisher and Nate, David, and Claire (mother/children), “Six Feet Under”
6. Road Trip to Doctor and Kitchen Scene(s): Mickey Gordon and Arthur (son-in-law and father-in-law), Forget Paris
7. Road Trip Scene(s): Beth’s father and Beth (father/daughter), The Last Days of Chez Nous
8. Relationship(s): Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed and Sophie and Nick (father+mother/kids), “Gene Simmons’ Family Jewels”
9. Relationship(s): Heathcliff and Claire Huxtable and Sondra, Denise, Theo, Vanessa, and Rudy (father + mother/kids), “The Cosby Show”
10. Relationship(s): Marie and Frank Barone and Ray and Robert (mother + father/sons) “Everybody Loves Raymond”
