Who has been your favorite nuclear family?

[project90]

Seeing as there has been only 3 nuclear families in the 30 year history of the show (to arrive as traditional family not been made into one as the show went along ) who has been your favorite?

The Fletchers were a foster family and Ruth's mum was dead when the show began.

Definetly the Nashes. I love them all but especially Joel and Gypsy. I feel however that Tom didnt get given much storylines. Wish they could return one day.

Sutherlands.

Probably the Sutherlands. I had the biggest crush on Kirsty around 2000 when I was 12 or 13 hahaha. I loved Kirsty and Kane around that time too. I don't consider Fletcher or Stewarts a Nucluar family though. I think Alf is the only Stewart left on the show anyway.

Braxtons were nuclear too - although the brothers were introduced initially, there was a Mother, Father and their children.

But parents were never regulars.

Yes the Fletchers were a foster family not a nuclear family.

I feel H&A shares similarities with BBC sitcom Only Fools And Horses and soap Emmerdale. All 3 shows begun with a similar format in which they all focused on one main family. Fletchers, Trotters and Sugdens. Many cosy scenes in the living rooms of the 3 TV families. Del and Rodney arguing in OFAH, Tom and Pippa keeping their foster teens in check, and Annie Sugden keeping Jack and Joe in check. And all 3 shows broadened their scope as time went on.
