Live Poll: With What TV Family Would You Celebrate the Holidays?
Due to COVID, maybe you won't be able to spend the holidays with your own family so if you could slip into your TV or computer and spend the holidays with one of the families below, who do you think would be the most enjoyable?
List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls082222906/
Poll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/ZroLA9NJDuc/
Suggestions are always welcome, of course, but, in this case, I'm practically begging for ideas, lol. There are still some families that I may add but I've also hit a wall and am drawing a bit of a blank so your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I did a series of polls six years ago that asked the opposite of this question but I may actually use some of the families from those polls for this one. Many of those families and series I would never use for this poll because they're just too pathological (like the Bates family from "Bates Motel") but there are some, like the family from "Modern Family," that I think would work for this poll as well as that one. You can certainly let me know what you think of any of those but I'm mostly looking for fresh options, especially because there are many TV series that I haven't seen. (By the way, the links to that other series of polls is in the intro of the list itself.)
Guidelines: Any TV series and mini-series that had original episodes air in 2000 or later will be considered.

FYC: Días de Navidad or this photo Unfortunately I don't remember the family name and I couldn't find it, but this Spanish mini series from Netflix is precisely about four sisters and their family with three episodes occuring on three different christmas days through the years.
The sisters names are: María, Esther, Adela and Valentina.

The "Shameless" crew were on my "opposite of this" poll (families you'd want to stay away from) but what do you all think: I seem to remember them as charming enough that you might want to spend time with them, even if just to be entertained? (I just want to make sure I stay away from violent families or families with really disturbing circumstances.)
Also, I've never seen "This is U" but from the description, they seem harmless enough; am I right?
Thanks so much!

Sorry, Ruby. I've missed that you only want tv-series-families. I'll think of some. :D

FYC:
The GiImores
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238784/mediaviewer/rm3019717376/
Nandor, Laszlo and Nadja
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7908628/mediaviewer/rm636052736/
(not a usual family, but they've lived together for over 100 years)
And I agree "This Is Us" would probably be a good option.

My vote: The Cranes from "Frasier"
2nd: The Gilmores from "Gilmore Girls"
3rd: Nandor, Laszlo and Nadja from "What We Do in the Shadows
4th: The Bartlets from "The West Wing" (not shown: Zoey Bartlet, their daughter, played by Elizabeth Moss)
My family has binge-watched "Frasier" multiple times and binge-watched "Gilmore Girls" at least once.
