I like pretty much all the shows listed - be kind of hard for me to pick one.

In the end I went for "Happy Days"
I have to add that All In The Family and particularly Eight Is Enough make me cringe even when I see the titles....
Dick Van Patten (ugghh).....

In terms of being realistic, I would have to go for the Waltons. The Partridge Family (like the Waltons) was based on a real family but totally unrealistic. In terms of just plain entertainment value, I will have to go with Happy Days.

Okay, he wasn't the greatest actor by any means, but I still found the show entertaining. :D

I loved Happy Days....remember the one about Potsie and Ralph doing "Lip-Ups" on the pinball machine? Later they were stuck inside Arnold's so they broke open the pay-toilet biox for change....when caught Arnold came in and was shocked there was any money at all as he wondered out loud "Why not you crawl under?" :D

Considering I owned several http://sc.groups.msn.com/tn/33/21/AlltypesofPhotos2/1/29.jpg There was only 1 family show for me and The Partridge Family was it.
Now, if you'd mentioned purple socks...I might've had to think about the Osmonds as well...http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/mini/small-smiley-018.gif

Loved Family. Meredith Baxter Birney (as she was known at the time) played the character of a shallow,narcissistic woman so believably.

They were all good shows (with the exception of Brady Bunch - too whitebread for me!)
My fave is All in the Family, though.
