Top 10 Best Family TV Shows of All Time
The best TV shows for the family to watch together in the past 60 years.
The Cosby Show is an American television sitcom starring Bill Cosby, which aired for eight seasons on NBC from September 20, 1984 until April 30, 1992. The show focuses on the Huxtable family, an upper middle-class African-American family living in Brooklyn, New York. Regardless of your view of the actors, the show was amazing!
The laughs never stop. One of the biggest and best families on TV.
The Andy Griffith Show is an American situation comedy television series that aired on CBS from October 3, 1960, to April 1, 1968. I think The Andy Griffith Show was absolute genius, with brilliant casting chemistry at its best.
It's still a pleasure to watch, funny and wonderful in every way. I watch it daily. The very best.
Barney made the show, in my opinion. I love the other characters too, of course, but Barney was hilarious.
Heartwarming and sappy. Who doesn't like the antics of Barney Fife and the other Mayberry oddballs?
Full House is an American sitcom created by Jeff Franklin for ABC. The show chronicles a widowed father, Danny Tanner, who enlists his best friend and brother-in-law to help raise his three daughters. There are six novels based on this show: Full House, Sisters, Stephanie, Club Stephanie, Michelle, and Dear Michelle.
There used to be a board game based on this show (among others, including Clarissa Explains It All, California Dreams, and Little House on the Prairie), but it is out of print.
I like Full House because it shows the audience that families can be great.
I'm surprised this isn't number one because it teaches people life lessons and shows its creativity and hard work.
This show is so great that there will be Fuller House.
I Love Lucy is an American television sitcom that originally ran on CBS from October 15, 1951, to May 6, 1957, with a total of 180 half-hour episodes spanning 6 seasons. Lucy is great. This is one of my top three shows of all time! Friends and The Big Bang Theory are excellent, but I wouldn't call them family shows.
Lucy is an easy watch. It has a relaxed feeling, but it's still a comedy and probably one of the funniest! Watch I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, or Here's Lucy, and you'll enjoy yourself. Lucille Ball won't let you down.
This show stood the test of time. I'm a teenager, and it's my third favorite show. It won't disappoint families.
I Love Lucy! I never pop out when this is on, and it's still poopular today.
N.B. For those who don't get the joke, I know how to spell. It's from the episode "Lucy Does a T.V. Commercial."
This classic helps us laugh at our everyday lives.

The Brady Bunch is an American sitcom created by Sherwood Schwartz that aired from September 26, 1969, to March 8, 1974, on ABC. Deserves the number one spot, in my opinion!

The Flintstones is the first animated prime-time American television series. It was broadcast from September 30, 1960 to April 1, 1966 on ABC. This 1960s cartoon is a classic that will never end.
