Not just arbitrary family series or movies like maybe Frozen but something that really focuses on the daily lives of the parents and the children. (So exclude a family stranded on an island or something like Umineko.) I actually think of mainly The Simpsons and Family Guy and then I thought of more examples.

In comedy:

• The Simpsons, Family Guy, Modern Family, Young Sheldon (spin-off of The Big Bang Theory), Joey (spin-off of Friends)

• Raven's Home but not That's So Raven because in That's So Raven the parents' interactions are mainly with the children. (But maybe Cory in the House? I forgot.)

  • Anime: Spy x Family, Wolf Children, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (at least if you consider the entire franchise since not really for the individual installments)

Outside comedy:

• The Borgias (at least Showtime. Idk about the others), The Sopranos (Based on what I read. I haven't seen), The Godfather, Dexter New Blood (but not Dexter!), The Kennedys (I think? Not so familiar with this series or with US history in general.)

I tried looking up tvtropes, but I didn't really see anything like 'family comedy' or 'family drama'. And then when you look up The Simpsons or Family Guy on Wikipedia, it says just 'adult animated sitcom', etc.
