When you look back on great parents, who was/were the best parent(s) from a tv show or film?

My choices:
Andy Taylor from The Andy Griffith Show
Cliff & Clair Huxtable from The Cosby Show
John & Olivia Walton from The Waltons
Charles & Carolyn Ingalls from Little House On The Prairie
Mike and Carol Brady, then everyone else.
I’m biased though.
Herman and Lily Munster
Ben Cartwright
Atticus Finch - To Kill A Mockingbird
Jack and Rebecca Pearson.
Mike and Carol Brady forever!
I know there are many single parent homes in real life, but it seems like on T.V. single parents are the norm and it's rare that both parents are together, usually one is dead. In the case of THE BRADY BUNCH, both Mike and Carol had a spouse that died--that's how they became the Brady bunch--yet I don't recall anyone mourning these birth parents. Ben Cartwright had bad luck with his wives--he had three which died soon after giving him a son.
Gomez and Morticia Addams.
Maybe not huge on discipline but they sure as hell let their kids be themselves.
