As long as there’s been TV, the family has been one of its favorite go-tos. All week long, Vulture is exploring how it’s been represented on our screens.

Sometimes it’s more of a funhouse mirror, especially for TV dramas that find families in extreme circumstances or comedies that push against familiar norms. But in either case, the TV family show plays with ideas reflecting the current moment, or acts as a model to aspire to (or avoid). Because shows like this have been a part of popular TV programming from the earliest days of the form, they give us a fascinating way of examining ourselves — or at least, examining what we thought of ourselves — over decades of American culture. Family TV has evolved from the … [Read more...] about The 50 Most Definitive Family TV Shows, Ranked

With so many classic TV shows coming back, it can be hard to keep track. We've definitively ranked 11 of the biggest, from the highs of One Day at a Time to the lows of Fuller House. 1.
