About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a warm, socially aware 1970s sitcom that mixes laughs with tougher day-to-day struggles, similar in spirit to Diff'rent Strokes or One Day at a Time; Not for you if you prefer light, purely escapist comedy.
Pros: heartfelt family bond; big catchphrase laughs; tackles real issues | Cons: uneven later seasons; heavier, less funny stretch; repetitive humor at times
