"The Johnsons" is the correct answer.

"The Johnson's" is a possessive form of the proper noun, as in the Johnson's house, the Johnson's blasé attitude towards telemarketers, The Johnson's willingness to run from danger, etc.

  • But of course it is possessive only for someone (or something) called "The Johnson".

    If there's more than one Johnson, it should be the Johnsons' house. If there's only one, it should be Johnson's house. Nov 28, 2015 at 3:31
