What movie/TV family does your own family most resemble?

[dolo amber]

By that I mean personality/functionality-wise...I have to say mine (parents and siblings) are frighteningly similar to the Cosbys on a good day, and on all others we are undeniably the Klumps (from The Nutty Professor). :D

The fact that we aren't African-American is, I'm sure, only an accident of nature. ;)

How 'bout you?

[THUNDER HANDS]

1. can't think of one

I don't think there's ever been a family like mine on tv. We're too dull to draw viewers. :D

[dolo amber]

2. I can't imagine

any family that has you as a member qualifying as *dull*. :D

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. well if they built the show around me

that's a different story. :D

[Solly Mack]

4. Steel Magnolias depicted my aunts/mother accurately

and a good deal of my childhood was built around 9 women gathered together for hair, food, and gossip...
add a dash or 12 of Fried Green Tomatoes and you have my entire first 30 years of life.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

5. Addams

I'm always like Gomez towards wifey. We have a twisted sense of humor too.

[LincolnMcGrath]

6. My Three Sons

minus the old guy

[NoPasaran]

7. The Barones

(Everybody Loves Raymond)

That's NOT my family, but I sure recognize that behavior.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

12. Me too-Raymond's Parents

remind me of my own...the bickering anyway.

[aQuArius]

8. It's All Relative

If y'all know what I'm talking about, that's almost my family, but my mom isn't a gay man, but my dad is!

[Streetdoc270]

9. A Christmas Story

Thats my Wife's family, exactly like them. My family looks more like Nat Lampoons Vacation troupe

[dweller]

10. Royal Tenenbaums

so says my eldest daughter, but i don't know why.

let me guess the ways...

[Sinistrous]

11. The Simpsons.

The sibling mix isn't quite right, but the dialog fits.

[CanuckAmok]

13. "Bob and Margaret"

I didn't even have to think about that one. Every episode, we remark on how eerily like them we are.

Do you guys get "Bob and Margaret" in the US?

[dolo amber]

17. I LOVE Bob and Margaret!

:D

We used to get it on Comedy Central, I haven't seen it for ages though. :( I was just telling my 13 yr old what a chiropodist was the other night at the dinner table.

[tinrobot]

14. The Oblongs...

My family is strange...

[Ernesto]

15. All in the Family

I used to be "Meathead" now I'm "Archie".

[corporatewhore]

16. Aqua teen hunger force is the closest family that i can think of

[frogfromthenorth2]

18. Lost in space... (Yeah...we are lame... I know...)

But we have a COOL robot!

[SoCalDem]

19. Malcolm in the Middle

or the old Roseanne show :)

[dolo amber]

20. I'd have to say

my current family (shortbus, the kids and I) would come damn close to either of those as well. :D

[Elidor]

21. My mother is Malcom's mother

It's frightening to behold.

[SoCalDem]

22. Son... Is that YOU???

I have been "Malcolm's Mother "..:evilgrin:

[markses]

23. Sad to say, Mad About You, pre-baby

As for movie, we're any typical "happy couple" (cue soft melodic music) living a completely ordinary urban life that's about to be rocked by our un-fortuitous encounter with (cue fast but mild techno track):
faintly European terrorists
Jamaican drug gangs
duplicitous greedy colleagues
a family secret-so-dark-it-should-have-been-kept-in-the-sealed-trunk
crooked cop harrassment
an ancient curse
ghosts
a tidal wave
giant spiders
a plague of locusts
alien invasion
a red-headed temptress with a mysterious and menacing background
a secret society in search of magical artifact with world-shattering powers
a Colombian cartel
burglars
escaped convicts
giant murderous dogs
a ten-year-old orphan with an evil wit and adorable dimples
Identity thieves
Carter Hayes
A band of killer computer hackers

Will we overcome these horrors? (Cue explosion)
Will we unite in our love and care for family? (Cue longing glance across a field of dead villians)
Or will it destroy us? (End music. Fade to black. Cue promo date.)

Coming to theaters. March 2004.

24. Natl. Lampoon's Christmas Vacation :)
