All of us were born into this world. We have moms, dads, mother-like figures, men who are like fathers, grandparents, biological parents, adoptive parents, step-parents, foster parents...and we have this in common with TV characters!
When we watch different television series, we see different families - made up of unique, individual characters and members - come together like many of our families do: They are there for each other in different ways for good moments and for not-so-great moments, and they venture through life and through different episodes together, navigating the ups and the downs in exciting, breathtaking, hilarious, tear-jerking ways. We laugh with these characters, cry with them and feel like we are part of their families, since we see them regularly in our own homes.
How well do we know these TV families, though? Do we know which characters go with which parents? Let’s find out! This quiz has 25 images of onscreen parents (from an array of television shows - each with different genres, from different time periods, some well-known ones and some tricky ones!), and YOUR job is to match the parents to the correct characters - characters that play or that did play their kids on TV shows. Good luck!
