The Andersons are an American family whose members each have a distinct personality, and those traits sometimes clash and sometimes hold the others up. Across a string of episodes, the family lives through events both meaningful and strange, and every shared experience draws them closer. The Andersons argue, laugh, and somehow come out the other side stronger than before. Comedy and drama sit side by side in this slice-of-life TV series from 1986, with a touch of romance woven into everyday family life.
