In fiction, grandparents can be a lot of things. They may be loving, jerks, eccentric/forgetful, peripheral, oblivious, or nonexistent.
However, occasionally you'll see a grandparent or grandparents who'll go above and beyond for their grandchild or grandchildren... often at the expense of love or attention of their adult children. The strife could be played sympathetically or not.
On one hand, the offending grandparent may have done this because their time is winding down, they see their child less and less due to work and other responsibilities, and they've always wanted grandchildren to fill in the void or to spend time with and spoil rotten. They may not even be intentional in their slight (or the adult children may be just immature and going overboard with their resentment.)
On the other hand, it could be the elder generation had or continues to have an unpleasant relationship with the child due to abuse, neglect, or some other situation where they weren't exactly there for them. The closer relationship with their offspring's offspring could be out of spite, where they see someone better in the grandchild, see it as their second chance (though this can be played sympathetically), or do it just to get one over on their child.
Also of note, this trope can be inverted, with the grandchild or grandchildren clearly preferring their grandparent(s) over their parent(s) for any of the above reasons. However, if it's a work where they're being raised by the grandparents due to the parents not being in the picture (and it's not a case where the Missing Mom or Disappeared Dad is estranged or simply an unfit parent, i.e., they're dead or otherwise unmentioned), then it wouldn't qualify as an example.
Obviously Truth in Television. Compare Parental Favoritism, which refers to when parents give one child preferential treatment, which may include a grandparent giving one grandchild preferential treatment; that trope may overlap with this one, if the grandchild receives preferential treatment over the grandparent's own children as well. Compare and Contrast Doting Grandparent. See also I Want Grandkids, Raised by Grandparents, Why Are You Not My Son?, The Unfavorite, and Obnoxious In-Laws.

In the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Denial", a mother and daughter are both arrested for a different daughter's death, and their mother/grandmother Rose consistently goes to bat for her adult granddaughter Claire (a drug addict) while showing virtually no concern for Claire's mother/her daughter Grace. It turns out that the grandmother has a reason; Claire may be a drug addict, but Grace is a sociopath who had previously killed another child to stop him from crying. Rose favored Claire in general because she knew Claire, for all her struggles, was a better person, and she also went to bat for Claire over Grace in this particular situation because she knew that Grace was probably guilty, since she'd already proven she was capable of it.

This is one of Grandpa Simpson's defining characteristics. He and Homer usually don't get along (although in all fairness, Abe was pretty cold to Homer growing up, especially after his loving mother Mona went on the lam); but he adores his grandchildren, especially his firstborn and only grandson Bart. He's also much more civil to his daughter-in-law Marge than he is to his own son.
The Days of Future episodes show that much like Abe, Homer will be a much better grandfather to Bart's sons than he was a father to Bart.

Thelma Harper of Mama's Family makes it no secret that she prefers her grandchildren over her children or their spouses. The best example of her doing better by the grandchild was in the dynamic between herself and her juvenile delinquency teenage grandson Bubba, the son of her deeply embittered and hot-tempered middle child, Eunice. He not only loves her like she were his mother, but her balance of love and discipline eventually pays off: he ends up being a mature college student who regularly holds down a job.

In An Ember in the Ashes, Elias's grandfather is far more supportive of him than his cruel mother. This is, however, due to his grandfather also being rather sexist and abusive himself; he despises his daughter, Elias's mother, as a result.

Rick and Morty's Rick Sanchez plays this straight and inverts it in different ways. On the one hand, he goes on wacky, zany sci-fi adventures with his grandchildren, Morty and Summer, far more often than he does with his daughter Beth, and thus by extension, he also spends far more time with them. In fact, Rick has probably even been on more adventures with his disliked son-in-law Jerry than he has with Beth. However, part of this is likely because she's busy with work on an average day. It's inverted in that, while Rick is a toxic Jerkass to his grandkids, Jerry, and most other people, Beth is a Morality Pet for him, and he's far nicer to her than he is to anyone else.

King of the Hill: Cotton Hill considers his son Hank a disappointment and does not hesitate to say so to his face. He's far more loving towards his grandson Bobby, and on one episode states that he'd take a bullet for him. Interestingly, Cotton has a baby son with his much younger wife whom he dotes on; he calls him "Good Hank".

The Twilight Zone (1959): In the episode "Long Distance Call," the grandmother is bitter that her son Chris left her to get married and now treats her like she's in the way, but she dotes on her grandson Billy, the only person whom she feels still cares about her. This reaches the point that after she dies, her spirit communicates with Billy through his toy telephone and tries to persuade him to commit suicide so they can be together, not caring that this will leave her son bereft. Only by pleading for Billy's sake and not his own does Chris convince her to let Billy live in the end.

Subverted in Archer, where Malory Archer is just as terrible to her granddaughter AJ as she is to her son Sterling. In some ways, she's actually worse; Sterling, at least, had some degree of insulation from his mother because she was still an active field agent during his formative years, and thus left him in the care of her butler Woodhouse, whereas AJ was born after Malory retired from the front lines, allowing her to give her far more of her toxic attention.

Played with on Passions with Alastair. He treats everyone he knows like crap including and especially his own family members, but he has taken a shine to his oldest grandson, Ethan, a smart and charming lawyer, and feels he is a much more suitable heir to the Crane fortune and business over his alcoholic playboy son, Julian. That is, until it's revealed that Ethan wasn't his grandson due to a one-time fling that his mother Ivy had with her ex-boyfriend, Police Chief Sam Bennett, right before her wedding to Julian.

Blanche Hunter of Coronation Street was more likely to defend her wayward granddaughter, Tracy, the only biological child from her daughter Deirdre, and went out of her way to provide for her. This becomes apparent in 2003 when Tracy became pregnant via a one-night stand; that Christmas sees Blanche gifting Tracy a flat with money that was to go towards Deirdre's inheritance, in the hope that she kept the grandchild instead of giving it to the Croppers. Needless to say, her daughter was understandably furious.

Veep: Selina's endlessly critical, sniping, and abusive mother Catherine is still extremely rude to Selina's daughter Catherine; but the younger Catherine's genuine interest in her, grief over her, and actual attempts to give her what she likes (and possibly the fact that she's named after her) means that the billionaire Catherine disinherits Selina and wills her entire estate to the younger Catherine upon her death.

Downplayed with Estelle Winslow of Family Matters. While she does love and respect her son Carl, she is also quick to scold him when he goofs up royally (evidenced by her catchphrase "Way to go, Carl!") She also acts as a respected mentor and mediator whenever he has an issue or disagreement with one of the children, particularly Eddie or Steve (who has a deep shared respect for her as if she were his own grandmother).

Bob's Burgers: Bob Belcher Sr's relationship with his son, Bob Belcher Jr and the namesake of the restaurant, has been strained for many years and it's only barely started to mend. His relationship with his daughter-in-law doesn't seem that much better, given how easily annoyed he is by her joking about his shrinking with age. However, he adores his grandkids and is very open with them, even letting them roam around in his basement when they need stuff.

Malcolm in the Middle: Grandma Ida and Grandpa Victor see Reese as their favorite Grandson, while they look down on Malcolm for being studious, ignore Dewey for the most part (though he remembers them dropping him as a baby and Victor nearly running hi over when he was three years old), and hate Francis for his criminal record, despite the fact that Reese creates as much mayhem as Francis before he was shipped off to Military School. After Victor dies, Idea still favors Reese, looks down on Malcolm, mostly ignores Dewey, and gets into heated arguments with Francis.

After Mamaw chooses to attend Jackson's volleyball game rather than attend Miley's performance for the Queen of England, Miley finally confronts her about this. Mamaw tells Miley that she loves both of them, and justifies her supposed favoritism of Jackson by pointing out that he has so few moments to shine compared to his pop star sister, and needs to have someone who will be there for them during those moments.

In the film adaptation of The Art of Racing in the Rain, after Denny's wife Eve develops terminal brain cancer, she, Denny, Zoey, and Enzo come to stay with her parents (who love their daughter dearly but aren't happy that she married a race car driver). They shower Zoey with gifts and love, which Enzo implies is a coping mechanism so they don't have to acknowledge that their only daughter is dying. Not two days after Eve's funeral, they try to take custody of Zoey away from Denny, and use his bad reaction to their plans as ammo in a court case.

The Proud Family:
Suga Mama frequently mocks and insults her son Oscar but is a Doting Grandparent to Penny. However, she also gets along with her daughter-in-law; she's really only rude to her son (and vice versa).
In Louder and Prouder, the tables are turned as we're introduced to her father Pa Towne. He's a Straw Misogynist who looks down on her for being a girl but is instantly impressed when Oscar's Papa Wolf instincts kicked and showed genuine skill in being a cowboy. He welcomes his grandson while telling Suga Mama she "did one thing right", which was having Oscar as a son. The two hit it off and start to bond.

Seen plenty of times on The Golden Girls with Blanche and Sophia. The latter usually snarks at Dorothy and talks about what a screw-up Phil is, but she is always excited to see her grandchildren and even gave money she took from Dorothy to give to her children. The former's Hands-Off Parenting and other selfish tendencies have put a strain on the relationship between her and her children, particularly her eldest daughter Janet, but she loves her grandchildren dearly and their love for her is mutual.

Family Guy:
Lois' parents, especially her snobby, quasi-sociopathic father Carter, despise Peter (and to a much lesser extent, Lois herself), but in general like their grandchildren and are usually content to see them.
Subverted with Francis Griffin. As much of a prick as he is to his (step)son and daughter-in-law, he treats his grandchildren with the same level of indifference. This is because he's a deeply devout Catholic and disapproves of their secular lives and practices, and likely because he knows they're not his actual grandkids since Peter's not his biological son.
