Who is your TV family?
This would surprise noone that knows me and my family :)

The Cleavers
White picket fences, pearl necklaces, lots of "golly gees"... Sound familiar? It should, because your family is most like Leave It to Beaver's Cleaver clan. Traditional and as all-American as apple pie, Ward, June, Wally, and the Beav are your TV soulmates. Never a dilemma that can't get solved by Dad in under 22 minutes, never a crisis more serious than a school bully or a chore left undone. Sure, the gender roles might be a little stereotyped, but as long as everyone's happy, what's the big deal? And being happy all the time is what matters, right? Don't let that frown turn upside down! Presuming your mother has yet to discover women's lib, why not head home for a hearty home-cooked meal right now? As long as you don't invite that scamp Eddie Haskell over to join you, everything should work out just fine.

The Jetsons

Cue the flying cars — your family is most like everyone's favorite futuristic clan, The Jetsons! Modern, always trendy, and just a little bit crazy, George, Jane, Judy, Elroy, and even Rosie and Astro (or is that "Rastro"?) are your family's TV soulmates. With a calm mom heading up the household and keeping zany Dad from flipping his lid at least once a day, life was never boring for the Jetsons — and we're willing to bet the same thing goes for you and your nearest and dearest. Considering that you're always up on the latest gotta-have gadgets and trends, your house is probably a great place to hang out (can we come over for one of Rosie's dinners?). So why not call in sick to Mr. Spacely and plan a big family outing? Don't worry — if something goes awry, just yell "Jane, stop this crazy thing!" and all will be well.

The Addams Family

Spooky and surreal - You had an unusual family pet and strange, unpaid domestic help. Your bedroom was not the cleanest or was it equipped with a conventional sleeping mode. You have lurked in the dark corners, and people generally gasp upon catching sight of you for the first time.

The Simpsons
Cue the blue skies, white clouds, and heavenly chorus — your family is most like everyone's favorite Springfield residents, The Simpsons! Your clan may not have spiky yellow (or blue) hair or only four fingers per hand, but Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, and even Grandpa are still your family's TV soulmates. Sure, they squabble with the best of them (remember the time Bart burned Lisa's centerpiece? or when Homer ended up living in Bart's tree house after Marge got mad and threw him out?) but they always come through for each other when it counts. Look past the clever one-liners and surreal adventures, and you'll see a family with as much dysfunction — and as much love — as you and your nearest and dearest have in real life. So, to celebrate your Simpsonness, pull up a couch, grab a Duff beer, plop down in front of the TV, veg out, and thank your lucky stars that you don't have the Flanders family living next door!

I could have picked this with my eyes closed. It also happens to be my favorite show. Been a huge fan since the beginning. And it's on here three times a day (Woo hoo). They just always come into my life. My boyfriend is a literary agent and, last year, he signed on Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson). She just had her book published (My Life as a Ten Year Old Boy). One of the nicest people you ever want to meet. The first time I met her, I was absolutely tongue tied, but she has become a good friend of ours and I always look forward to getting together with her when she's in town.

Life imitates art, huh?

Cool, thanks for taking it, New. I thought this might be fun to get an idea of where we all came from in terms of our upbringing. :)

Damn, you have an interesting life!

Juju, you're creepy and you're kookey.
Mysterious and spookey.
You're altogether ookey

LOL! I loved that show and somehow I'm not surprised that's your TV family :)

We try to keep it interesting, Az. With my theatre connections and Dean's publishing connections, we do tend to meet an awful lot of people. Dean's been very busy signing on celebrity clients. He represents: Bo Derek, Britney Spears, David Blaine, Lou Perlman (he put together Backstreet Boys or NSync, I forget which), Shaq, Willie Nelson, among others.

And we're fortunate enough to get comped into most Broadway shows. That's why I wasn't on last night. Got some last minute tix. So my mission is to catch up on postings this morning. Boy, you guys were chatty last night.

Well, this is just interesting. I thought you might come from a Cleaver household, Guru.

It sucks ya can't see what ya missed in chat. Gator, asked us a lot of questions when we were in there last night. It had some very interesting points. I think that makes it more like real life, so I wouldn't change it, though.

The Cleavers

And I think I saw Eddie Haskel hanging out with Azriel most of the time.

The Keatons
What would we do, baby, without us? Cue the oil painting credits sequence — your family is most like The Keatons. Hippie idealists with a healthy dash of conservatism (in the form of Michael J. Fox...), Steven, Elyse, Alex, Mallory, Jennifer, and even little Andrew are your family's TV soulmates. You don't by any chance have a weird next door neighbor named Skippy, do you? Nah... But that doesn't matter. Your family is still a lot like the Keatons in the ways that really matter. Sure, you have your disagreements (remember how much Steven and Elyse hated Mallory's monosyllabic boyfriend Nick at first?), but you get over them and ultimately find your Family Ties closer than ever because of them. You're not exactly traditional, but you've got love and understanding to spare. So whip up something to eat (be sure to throw in some granola), and plan a family dinner already! Sha la la laa...

The Huxtables
Cue the jazz music and cute dances — your family is most like everyone's favorite '80s Cosby Show clan, The Huxtables. Urban, upscale, and professional, the Huxtables embody classy cool. That's why Cliff, Clair, Sondra, Denise, Theo, Vanessa, and Rudy are your family's TV soulmates. Sure, they had their little problems (remember the one where Theo got his ear pierced?), but they always figured them out before the half hour was over. Unquestionably hip and funny, when it came right down to it, they were also pretty much a traditional, emotionally healthy bunch. (We're guessing that description sounds familiar, considering that your family and the Huxtables are cut from the same cloth.) So what are you waiting for? Get that close-knit clan of yours together for some good ol' fashioned quality time right now! Just be sure to bring some Jell-O Pudding Pops to snack on...
