Cheers is great, but it's not a family show.

I just binge watched Home Improvement and it's pretty good.  A little heavy on the feminism but way better than anything in the woke era.

I view “family sitcom” as one that is both about family and safe to watch with the family.

I find it difficult to find a sitcom appropriate to watch with my wife and two young boys. One that is entertaining, while still promoting solid family values, and doesn’t make the father-figure the butt of all jokes.

Married with Children is hilarious, but not appropriate for pre-teen kids. Between Al Bundy, Homer Simpson, and Ray Romano, the father has become the Court Jester of “family” entertainment.

My list would be:

Family Ties
Growing Pains
Cosby Show
Wonder Years (not really a fan, but safe)
Home Improvement
Young Sheldon

Anyone else remember some “family safe” sitcoms that don’t denigrate the Dad, or promote family disfunction every 2 minutes?

You're the one who created the fucking thread, you decide.

I thought you were talking about shows with a family which is why I put down "F is for Family".  It stars Bill Burr so it's not exactly family-friendly.

Modern Family is awesome. Great writing and physical comedy, super sexy Gloria, Al from Married with Children is married to her.

And overall wholesome, family vibes. The show is long running so you also see all of the kids grow up into young adulthood.

I tend to agree with SHONUF, "I view “family sitcom” as one that is both about family and safe to watch with the family."

But I left it open for all you jackwagons

Frasier and Lilith were married.  Norm talked about his wife.  Cliff always talked about his mother.  So elements of family when a family is apart.

The Carol Burnett Show was a great show.  Strange that viewers didn't have to have "women power" jammed down their throat in order to like the show.  She was a great physical comedian that earned her fame through genuine entertainment.
