Many television shows center around families, showing the day-to-day lives of parents and their children. And while families come in all shapes and sizes, almost every TV show out there has at least one parent that is known, recognized, and important to the plot.
Popular series, such as Gilmore Girls, The Brady Bunch, and Everybody Loves Raymond, feature equally popular parents, like Lorelai Gilmore, Mike and Carol Brady, and Frank and Marie Barone. But who are the parental units on Supernatural? New Girl? The Vampire Diaries? Sex and the City?
If you are a true fan and a big television buff, then you may know. And if not, then you may struggle on this quiz...but here it is! Below, there are 35 questions that feature parents, and your job is to match the parents to the TV show. As mentioned, some will be easy to recognize and identify, as they come from well-known series. Others, though, will require the process of elimination and some real thinking...but we believe in you. We think you can hear these parents’ names and see pictures of these parents and be able to know the TV shows that at least half of them belong to, and we hope you do even better than that!
Which of these shows features Rufus Humphrey?
This man is Rufus Humphrey, a man who is known for his musical talents, his waffle-making skills, and his love for his kiddos.

He is an honest, kind, true and caring man, and he works to pass those traits along to others. So, which one of these four television shows features Rufus Humphrey?
Which of these shows features Sam and Jo?
Pictured here, we have Sam and Jo, an average husband, an average wife, and an average duo trying to raise kids and produce a happy, healthy family.

So, which one of these four television shows features Hiram and Hermione Lodge?
Which of these shows features Joyce Byers?
Parents would do anything for their kids, and on TV (well, and in real life, too), that is seen when parents drop everything to play catch, when they save some extra money for the perfect gift or when they risk their lives to protect their children.

Which of these shows features Arthur Spooner?
Parents have and take care of their kids, but there comes a time in life when the roles reverse a bit.
