If That '70s Show hit the spot, these will too

A teen's mischief bouncing off a family that gives as good as it gets
The difference: The heart-to-hearts land harder — goofing pauses for real talk

Comfort sitcom rhythms with a loud, lovable family at the center
The difference: A grown-up workplace-family setup — no teenage basement crew

High school scheming with a slacker charmer running the show
The difference: Broad Saturday-morning corniness, thin on actual wit

A packed house where every mess gets hugged out by the credits
The difference: Squeaky-clean sweetness — nobody sneaks off to the basement

A tight circle of friends turning hanging out into the whole show
The difference: Twentysomething bar-stool nostalgia and a divisive final act

Family squabbles played for laughs with a sly satirical streak
The difference: Puppet dinosaurs — the weirdness is the whole appeal

One sarcastic houseguest keeping an ordinary family on its toes
The difference: The premise is the joke — an alien, one gag, four seasons

A small town where everyone knows everyone and talk is the sport
The difference: Fast-talking dramedy — more feelings per episode, fewer gags

One thread runs through both: sitcom
The difference: Easier on the stillness than That '70s Show

Witty where it counts, playful underneath

Two things both keep coming back to: friendship and a group of friends

Teen growing pains handled with a wink and a laugh track
The difference: A magical gimmick drives the plots more than the friendships
