There are at least a dozen comedy shows airing on television at the moment, many of which even use unconventional family dynamics to tickle the funny bone. But most of them cater to different age groups - meaning, there are a handful shows that you can sit down and enjoy with the entire family.

Filling this void on the primetime is ABC's upcoming 1970s-set comedy series, 'The Kids Are Alright.' Inspired by the childhood of creator and executive producer Tim Doyle, the show revolves around the Clearys, a traditional Irish-Catholic family, who are tasked with the dual burden of raising eight boisterous boys and navigating through life during one of the most tumultuous decades, the 70s.
