It was a highly acclaimed show that earned over 45 major awards and 165 nominations.

Answer: The Americans

This is a slightly tricky answer, as Elizabeth and Philip Jennings of "The Americans" were actually Russian-born spies named Nadezhda and Mischa. Set in the 1980s, the Jennings ran a travel agency overtly and carried out missions for their Soviet homeland covertly.

The stakes went way up when they learned their new neighbor was an F.B.I. agent in counterintelligence unit. When the show opened, both of the Jennings children were unaware of their parents' true identities.

Answer: Breaking Bad

"Breaking Bad" may not be a family-friendly show, but the Whites almost always had breakfast together and stayed together as a family for a long time. Walter White was a chemistry teacher who used his scientific and tactical brilliance to create a meth empire. Skylar White, Walter's wife, was the moral counterpoint to Walt's increasingly violent behavior, though he never wanted to be with anyone else.

Their son, Walter Jr., and their infant daughter, Holly, kept them together for a long time - for better or for worse.

Answer: Big Love

Bill Henrickson of "Big Love" was raised as a fundamentalist Mormon and became a polygamist when he received an epiphany that he should. The family included Barb, his first and only legal wife, with whom he had three children; his second wife, Nicki, and their two sons; and Margie, his third wife, and their three children.

He had a respectful relationship with Barb, a somewhat contentious one with Nicki, and a more sensual one with Margie. Bill also had to deal with his difficult blood family, underhanded going-ons at his childhood compound, and his business as owner of a major hardware store.
