Poll: Join A Television Family: 1940-1959 Edition

A poll by hb
If you are/were a teenager, which of these television families would you like to join? Eligible candidates for this list

* Pretend the storyline is "real" - you're not an actor with that cast, you're in the world created by that show in that family as a full fledged member of that family (for better or worse!) * started airing between 1940-1959. (we'll do other polls for other eras), * have at least one parent and one child already. You are another child, assuming the current parent or parent(s) stay and the current kids are your "siblings". * are live action * there's no "supernatural/alien/magic" element - that's for another poll! * the family interactions are "central" to the theme and not incidental.
