Shows that feel likeFrasier (1993–2004)

After many years spent at the “Cheers” bar, Frasier moves back home to Seattle to work as a radio psychiatrist after his policeman father gets shot in the hip on duty.

If you loved Frasier, the closest series we have are Full House (1987), The Nanny (1993) and El Chapulín Colorado (1973). All three share Frasier's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is La familia P. Luche (2002).

Domestic squabbles cranked into gleeful absurdity

The difference: Surreal Mexican comedy — nothing grounded about this household

This sitcom is about a Mestizo-Latino American family in P. Luche town. Ludovico and Federica P. Luche are the (mostly) happy couple who serve as the parents of their three kids: Junior, an amnesiac policeman who serves as their 12-year-old son, Bibi, their black sheep daughter who is the smartest of the bunch, and Ludoviquito, an heir who had switched places with their youngest. Together with their maid Exelsa, they live in Ciudad P. Luche, a town where emotions are heightened, the impossible is everyday, and plush fabric covers almost everything.
