If it must be family, I wouldn't mind a *different* series being referenced to sometimes to help cancel out all the SHnY. Maybe I should start keeping track of how many times Haruhi is referenced compared to other "family series".....
Good answer Risaa. I like the analogy you used here too, it fits quite well with what AVPlaya has mentioned as a possible reason behind the use of certain series. I would imagine a Hardcore otaku like Konata isn't so focused on only one show and likes to ramble about other series. Show's like Hayate The Combat Butler have no problem pulling in bits from other series and it's not even about otakus. So why not Lucky Star. The family tree of referenced series has much room to grow from the "Root".
