TV show families that resembled each other and those that did not.

Lauren Ambrose and Francis O’Connor on Six Feet Under resembled each other. Peter Krause and Michael Hall not so much. Richard Jenkins and Michael Hall did a bit.

Any other examples.

Malcolm in the Middle. They had excellent chemistry as a group but I never thought Malcolm and his brothers looked related.

Francis O'Connor, OP?? I believe you mean Frances Conroy.

None of the Cosby kids looked like Bill Cosby

R3 - Yikes. Yes, I meant Conroy.

And did you also mean FRANCES? ("Francis" is a man's name.)

David Hyde Pierce, Kelsey Grammer, and John Mahoney on Frasier really looked related.

Sally Struthers looked like she could be Carroll O'Connor's daughter on All in the Family.

Dorothy's son Michael on The Golden Girls.

The Drummonds. Willis and Kimberley were two peas in a pod.

Deidre and Blanche on Coronation Street.

Don't forget Patricia Clarkson as the aunt on Six Feet Under. Great casting there.

Morticia and Wednesday Addams were believeable as mother and daughter.

The Bradys on “Days of Our Lives” in the 80s. Roman, Bo, Kimberly and Kayla did not all fall out of the same womb. The writers used to resort to clunky, “Hey big sis!” “ Hey little brother!” dialogue.

The Snyders on “As the World Turns” however, were written well enough and did seem to superficially resemble one another. Caleb and Iva especially.

I know most fans prefer Pamela Sue Martin as Fallon on Dynasty, but Emma Samms looked more like she could be Joan Collins's daughter.

Valerie Harper and Julie Kavner were believable as biological sisters on Rhoda and had terrific chemistry with their onscreen parents, though it's unlikely Nancy Walker and Harold Gould would have a daughter as tall as Kavner.

Meredith Baxter wrote in her memoir that she thought her children on Family Ties were mismatched physically -- they did not resemble each other or the parents on the show.

They didn't resemble each other on One Day at a Time

Don't be silly, that's the plural for France.

I saw it in French r19. And it was called La Famille Stone.

Always thought the dad on Donna Reed was handsome.

R15 Emma looked like Joan.

Heather Locklear was good casting as Linda Evans’ niece.

All of the Bradford kids on 8 is Enough looked like they came from different fathers.

I could see Nicholas as Dick Van Patten's son. The daughter that keeps getting posted as a meme here, too.

Little House on the Prairie:

None of the Ingalls girls looked like their parents or each other.

Nellie and Willie Oleson didn't resemble reach other or their parents. Maybe Willie resembled Harriet a tiny bit being dark haired but that's it.

The Crawley sisters on Downton Abbey didn't resemble each other or their parents. Quite a potpourri looks wise.

Edith was a red head like her Aunt Rosamund and when Edith was pregnant I thought there would be a plot twist and Edith would tun out to be Rosamund's daughter she had to give Robert and Cora to raise since she made a mistake like Edith. But they didn't go there. Julian Fellowes was too busy recycling the same stories to do anything different.
