The Camdens from Seventh Heaven. I'm not a follower of Christianity really, but I really like the way they modeled a healthy lifestyle for their kids. There was a lot of communication, even if it had to be forced sometimes. They weren't perfect at all (even with Eric being clergy) and didn't try to act like they were. The parents had just as many short-comings as their children and used them to be there for each other as a family. The problems they ran into themselves and that their kids were exposed to were real problems which apply today as well, not just who is going to ask them to the prom or what will the neighbor think about this burnt pie I'm entering into the competition. One of the biggest things that stuck out to me was when Eric's sister showed up and the family took them in for her to detox from alcohol abuse. It was really hard on everybody but they managed to get through it. I think that a lot of that attitude comes from being brought up with good morals and values and the gumption to actually put them into action.
