Who doesn't like a good list? Top 10 Movies and Top 10 TV Shows can put a serious dent in a long car trip. Many a bar has been closed down with the re-ordering of a personal list to Top 10 Songs.

Starting tonight (Thursday, May 8), SoapNet is getting in on the fun with its new original series "Relative Madness." With the help of celebrity commentators like Joy Behar ("The View"), Cameron Mathison ("All My Children," "Dancing With the Stars"), Andrea Bowen ("Desperate Housewives") and Sarah Brown ("General Hospital"), for the next six weeks they will countdown some famous TV and celebrity family dynamics.

Here's what's on tap:

Mama Drama (May 8): We've got your OTT (that's "over-the-top" for some of you) moms here, whether they're ficitonal ("Days of Our Lives" Sami Brady) or real. Hi, Britney! Yes, we're still talking about you.

It's a Sibling Thing (May 15): Paris and Nikki Hilton are just the tip of the iceberg. Wait until they start in with the Simpson girls.

Brawl in the Family (May 22): The Carringtons and The Sopranos had all their feuds scripted for them, but when it came to going-off-book Paul McCartney and Heather Mills, and Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen had no problems re-writing themselves out of a Happily Ever After.

Crazy ... in Love (May 29): This summer we get to see Mr. Big make an honest woman out of Carrie, and even though Luke Spencer is currently married to Tracey Quartermaine, he will always be in love with Laura. Now, if we could just say the same for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes or Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott.

Twisted Family Trees
(June 5): For starters, you've got your Karadashian/Jenners, Hef's "Girls Next Door," "Nip/Tuck's" McNamara/Troys and "Days of Our Lives" DiMeras. See where they're going with this. "Family" has a whole new meaning these days. Especially when you started getting things "blended."

Father Knows Less (June 12): Kevin Federline likes to spend Britney's money, Alec Baldwin occasionally loses his temper on voicemail with Ireland and who knows what Tony Soprano might do if he doesn't like who Meadow brings home. Moms get the short end of the stick, but Dads are far from perfect.

But why should celebrities be the only ones who get to poke fun at these family dynamics. We have a thing or two to say too. So check out "Relative Madness" and then come back and share who you would hate -- or maybe love (to each his own, we don't judge) -- to share Thanksgiving dinner with.
