Shows on television are full of the ups downs of life - from everyday situations to extreme predicaments. And no one is better than helping to navigate life than parents. From those with wise words like Danny Tanner to those with more unusual forms of encouragement like Frank Gallagher, parents are one of the best parts of many TV series out there!
And today, we are going to go through 35 different ones/sets, and we are going to rate these guys. Are they the best? Are they decent? Are they just really not good at parenting at all? Do we wish they were ours? Do we despise them? Do we think they are just trying their best? Select a rating for each one, and in the end, we all get a surprise…
That is right, everybody. After rating these parents from TV, we will all get a name for our children! How we grade these fictional figures will determine what name goes best with our child. Will it be something traditional? Will it be a modern name? Will it be unique? Will it be a boy or a girl? Let’s find out by grading these TV characters, right here and right now!
What’s the rating for Rufus Humphrey?
Rufus Humphrey is a parent on Gossip Girl to Dan Humphrey and Jenny Humphrey. He used to be a rockstar, he enjoys making breakfast for his two kids, and he thought he could have ended up with an old flame. Will Rufus receive a high rating or a low one?
What’s the rating for Sam and Jo McGuire?
Back in the day, Hilary Duff starred as the title character on Disney’s Lizzie McGuire, and Sam and Jo were her father and mother, respectively. These parents were pretty busy raising two kids but showed tons of love, no matter what came up in life. So yay or nay on them?
What’s the rating for Gomez and Morticia Addams?
Some not-so-normal parents on TV were Gomez and Morticia Addams from The Addams Family. As their theme song suggests, they are creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky, but nevertheless, they were parents to dear ol’ Wednesday and Pugsley. Will these two older characters receive high, medium or low scores on parenting?
What’s the rating for Amy and Alan Matthews?
Amy and Alan Matthews may not be the most well-known fictional parents around, but their show - Boy Meets World - is a beloved one, still today (and earned a spin-off series!). They helped guide their three children through school, relationships and life in general, so give them both a rating here!
What’s the rating for Phil and Claire Dunphy?
Some shows put a lot of emphasis on families and the dynamics between siblings, spouses and parents/their kids, and Modern Family is one of those shows. Phil and Claire Dunphy may not have it all figured out, but there is lots of love in this big, crazy family. Rating?
What’s the rating for Hiram and Hermione Lodge?
Hiram and Hermione Lodge are Veronica’s parents on Riverdale. Are they perfect? No...but is anyone? Parenting is not an easy job, but what we see on this dramatic TV series is what we are using in order to rate all of these fictional parents...so rate these two now!
What’s the rating for Joyce Byers?
On Stranger Things, Joyce Byers goes to super extreme lengths in order to find her son. The sad truth is that not every parent would be that dedicated and passionate, to the point of being called crazy, but Joyce was not going to give up on Will. So what does that earn her?
What’s the rating for Mom and Dad Turner?
On The Fairly Oddparents, Mom and Dad were usually pretty busy, which is why Timmy Turner had to have that awful babysitter. He sometimes felt like he did not need any supervision, though, since he had fairly oddparents! So what are the thoughts and the feelings on Mom and Dad?
What’s the rating for Arthur Spooner?
Sometimes, children end up being the ones that care for their parental figures - like Carrie and Doug Heffernan, from King of Queens, took care of Carrie’s dad, Arthur Spooner. He was a particular old man who lived in a basement, so it was not always smooth sailing...But he still needs a rating, for better or for worse.
What’s the rating for Danny Tanner?
On Full House and on Fuller House, Danny Tanner serves as a guiding light. He happily let his best friends live with him. He always knew what to say to his three daughters. And now, he is a grandpa, who is still very much involved in everyone’s lives. So good, bad or ugly on him?
What’s the rating for Eric and Tami Taylor?
Eric and Tami Taylor, who were two characters on Friday Night Lights, were the average parents: They worked. They were involved in their community. But they had stress, arguments and not-so-ideal moments in life. Together, they took it all on, though, so rate them here and now, please and thanks.
What’s the rating for Carole and Burt Hummel?
The students were the main characters on Glee, but their lives at home were shown, too; Kurt’s dad, Burt, and Finn’s mom, Carole, actually ended up together, and we need to know: Did they have it all down? Were they okay? Or were we not really into them as parents?
What’s the rating for Jill and Tim Taylor?
An older show on this list is Home Improvement, which starred Tim Allen as Tim “The Toolman” Taylor. He and his wife, Jill, had three sons together, Brad, Randy and Mark. Were they the best? Were they okay? Were they horrible? Let us know by giving them a rating down below!
What’s the rating for Stu and Didi Pickles?
Some animated parents on television were Stu and Didi Pickles, who were parents to Tommy and Dil on Rugrats. They may look a little zany, and it may seem like their kids were always off on adventures, but they were good, in our opinion. Give us some more opinions, though!
What’s the rating for Christian Shephard?
The TV show Lost had a lot going on: People crashed on an island, the island had weird stuff like a black smoke monster and a polar bear and strange groups of people...but amidst all that, there was a father-son relationship being told, as Christian was the deceased father of Jack Shephard. Yes or no?
What’s the rating for George and Jane Jetson?
In the future, there may be flying cars and talking robots and other advancements like that, but parents are still parents - like George and Jane from The Jetsons! Will this duo receive a really good parenting score, an okay one or a really bad one from everyone that is here?
What’s the rating for Bonnie Kelly?
People may have mixed feelings about how The Gang from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia would be as parents, but what about their parents? Bonnie Kelly obviously loves her son, Charlie, very very very much...And is that good or bad, sweet or creepy, just right or too much?
What’s the rating for Ella and Byron Montgomery?
Pretty Little Liars was a super dramatic show, and even minor characters like Ella and Byron Montgomery, Aria’s parents, had their own dramatic troubles. Regardless of any bumps in the road, should we consider them good parents or no? There are three ratings below; pick one that fits these two.
What’s the rating for Conrad and Victoria Grayson?
Another dramatic television series was Revenge, and even though Amanda Clarke was at the center of getting that revenge, Conrad and Victoria Grayson played a huge role in this story. They were rich, they were powerful, and they were definitely not loved by all. So what’s their parenting score here?
What’s the rating for Jason and Maggie Seaver?
Another older show is Growing Pains, which told the story of the Seaver family: Jason and Maggie and their children, Mike, Ben, Carol and Chrissy. Leonardo DiCaprio even lived with them for a bit! But he’s not the point - a rating for Jason and Maggie is, so give them one!
What’s the rating for Jack and Judy Geller?
Friends is another show in which the kids were the main focus (if we can call them kids still), but their parents would pop up now and then, like Jack and Judy Geller did. They were Monica’s and Ross’ parents, and they, as well, are going to need a rating.
What’s the rating for Ignacio Suarez?
Ignacio Suarez may not be the most famous or the most loved parent of all time, from any television series, ever, but he is another loving parental figure. On Ugly Betty, he really does care for his kids (Betty and Hilda), even if he doesn’t always make the best decisions. Rating?
What’s the rating for Lois and Peter Griffin?
Lois and Peter Griffin, on the other hand, are famous TV parents, and we can just imagine them singing that iconic opening theme or saying iconic lines on Family Guy. This show is known for its outrageous situations, but despite it all, these two just need to be scored as parents!
What’s the rating for Lianne Scott?
On Veronica Mars, Lianne Scott had issues, which led to some troubles between her and her daughter. However, years down the road, she sobered up, fell in love and started a new family. So what will the score here be, for Ms. Lianne Scott, knowing all that we know?
What’s the rating for Richard and Emily Gilmore?
Lorelai Gilmore is one of the most well-known and one of the most beloved parents out there. This single mom from Gilmore Girls had her own parents, though, Richard and Emily, who were nothing like her. Despite their traits, they just need a rating, here and now, so pick one!
What’s the rating for Sonu and Tarun Lahiri?
Sonu and Tarun Lahiri are Mindy’s parents on The Mindy Project. They may not be as lovable or as known as their daughter (and she may not even be as known as another one of her character’s, Kelly, from The Office!), but there is only one job here: Rate Sonu and Tarun Lahiri.
What’s the rating for Zeke and Camille Braverman?
When Parenthood was on, fans were super wrapped up in the Braverman family; Zeke and Camille had Adam, Sarah, Crosby and Julia, and those four had their own spouses and kids, too, for one really big happy family. Did we love them, put up with them or hate them as parents?
What’s the rating for Marty and Wendy Byrde?
Ozark is a Netflix original series that has captured audiences, and in it, Marty and Wendy Byrde must go to extreme lengths to protect their family, their money, their businesses and themselves. Even if we don’t agree with all of their decisions, what do we think of them as just parents?
What’s the rating for Charles and Caroline Ingalls?
Here is another old show for everyone: Little House on the Prairie, the beloved story of Laura Ingalls and her family. Charles and Caroline Ingalls, better known as Ma and Pa, worked hard to provide for their kids and to show love and support to everyone they came into contact with. So yes or no?
What’s the rating for Carol and Frank Lambert?
Remember Step By Step? It was another one of those television series about a big ol’ family! Two groups actually joined, combining many different members and personalities under one roof, but they all worked together and truly cared for one another. So rate Carol and Frank Lambert down below here.
What’s the rating for Frank and Estelle Costanza?
This man here may look familiar; not only did he play Carrie’s dad on King of Queens, but he also played George’s dad on Seinfeld, along with Estelle Harris, who played George’s mother. Think back to this duo, and let us know how they were as parents by rating them.
What’s the rating for Xiomara and Rogelio De La Vega?
Xiomara and Rogelio De La Vega are the parents from Jane The Virgin, and they were high school sweethearts. After Xiomara became pregnant, she told Rogelio she had an abortion, but years later, he found out, and they reconnected. What will be the parental rating for these two TV characters?
What’s the rating for Mike and Carol Brady?
Even though Mike and Carol Brady are from an older TV show, they are still a popular duo! They, too, combined their families, bringing in three blonde girls and three brunette boys. This large group had its ups and downs, but they always had each other. Parental rating for the Bradys?
What’s the rating for Lisa Landry and Ray Campbell?
These two parents, from the Disney Channel television show Sister, Sister, were actually not even married, but together, Lisa Landry and Ray Campbell raised twins - Tia and Tamera. Did we love them? Were they okay? Were they not our favorite parents? Let us know down below, by choosing an answer!
What’s the rating for George and Lucille Bluthe?
Last but not least, we have George and Lucille Bluthe from Arrested Development. This is another one of those series full of wild and crazy moments, so it may be hard to truly judge these two...or, actually, it could be quite easy to know that they themselves are too wild and crazy! So what will it be?
