History Heartwarming / FIsForFamily

* Vic is really dedicated to being a good father to Vic Jr, even and perhaps especially after he's left to raise his son alone. He tries seeking out good parental role models, but is also able to recognize cases of what ''not'' to do from watching his neighbors. It's Vic who suggests that Sue hold parenting classes after she helps him out with Vic Jr.
* Bob jumping to save Rosie's life and ending up paralyzed because of his actions. Rosie thanks Bob for saving his life, and Bob assures Rosie that he did it because he thinks Rosie is a good man, and that he will make a genuine effort to be a better friend to Rosie. That's quite a huge turnaround from Bob's behavior towards Rosie through most of the series.

** The Season 2 finale, after reconciling the two realize the kids are getting older and won't need them around as much now, both immediately suggest that the other can go finish their dream (Frank becoming a pilot, and Sue finishing college). [[spoiler: Though, this turns out to [[YankTheDogsChain be for naught]] when they have sex with damaged condoms which [[HistoryRepeats brings another baby to interrupt their plans]].]]
* Vic telling Kevin the statutory rape wasn't his fault.

* After Kevin has sex with Cutie Pie, he's horrified by what he's done, deeply confused since Cutie Pie blames him for statutory rape, and he's guilt ridden for betraying Vic's trust. While hiding from Vic in the basement, Kevin finally runs into Vic and breaks down in fear. Rather than get angry with him or shame him, Vic calms him down and saying he understands what Kevin's going through and respects Kevin's integrity on the matter.

--> "Kids, I want to tell you how much I hate your generation. I don't like your clothes, your haircuts, or your funky music. Kevin I've hated you the most. But if sitting through twenty-seven years of my own shattered dream to make a difference is what it took to get to this moment, ''Goddamit'', it was all {{worth it}}."

* Vic is really dedicated to being a good father to Vic Jr, even and perhaps especially after he's left to raise his son alone. He tries seeking out good parental role models, but is also able to recognize cases of what ''not'' to do from watching his neighbors. It's Vic who suggests that Sue hold parenting classes after she helps him out with Vic Jr. In the final episode, Vic is seen covering his son's eyes at the daredevil show so he won't see anything traumatizing and enjoying his first Christmas with his son, where Vic Jr. can be seen contentedly chewing on a toy Corvette while his proud father watches. This is even MORE heartwarming when you remember in season 1, Vic revealed to Frank how lonely he is during Christmas, and how Vic felt it was for families. Now Vic's got a little family of his own.
