15 of the All-Time Greatest TV Parents

Parents: Robert and Cora Crawley

Parenting Style: While Lord and Lady Crawley love their three daughters unconditionally, they are often caught up with their own old-fashioned ideas about propriety. Often, Lady Cora has to talk Robert into accepting "modern" aspects of their daughters' lives.

Lesson: The way your parents did it is not always the right way to raise kids — you need to adapt to a changing society and tailor your parenting accordingly.
