Who would you like to be your mom or dad?

You can pick your nose. You can pick your friends. But, in life (for the most part), we're stuck with our parents. There are no re-dos when it comes to that lottery. 

So, what if you could pick your parent? We've selected a group of some of TV's best moms and dads for you to choose from. Child-rearing is no easy feat, so we want to know who you think would be best-suited for the challenge of raising you

Give the options a look, and then pick one from the list that you think would be the ultimate parent. Then, we'll let you know what percentage of the MeTV audience agrees with you!

Rob Petrie ("The Dick Van Dyke Show"), because he would have the best sense of humor and make me laugh! A shame he only got 1%, while Sheriff Andy Taylor ("The Andy Griffith Show") got 30%, won the gold medal, and Ward Cleaver ("Leave It To Beaver") 18% got the silver medal, with Steve Douglas ("My Three Sons") and Lucas McCain ("The Rifleman") shared the bronze medal both at 8%. Who wants to be a son/daughter of a sheriff who is risking his life, and may not come home one day; same for "The Rifleman." I would have voted for Ward Cleaver #2 after Rob Petrie.
Rob Petrie will always be my favorite, and Laura for her beauty, talent, and how strong their marriage was!

Tim Taylor from Home Improvement. Damn Tim Allen is the best comedian of all time in my opinion!

I voted for Ward Cleaver. Andy Taylor loses points for being a whoopin' enthusiast and a smoker. Also, Opie shouldn't be allowed to hang out at the sheriff's office with Otis and other deviants.

My favorite choice wasn't on the list...maybe because he wasn't a dad, just an uncle. Lol I always loved Uncle Bill from "Family Affair". He was so wise and kind and patient. He would've been a great Dad.

Ward Cleaver, 70% similar. I picked him because my No. 1 choice isn’t on the list: James Evans from “Good Times”.
