My Two-Dads - A girl's mother dies and she moves in with her father whom she has never met. Her pops takes himself too seriously, but he's balanced out by his wacky roommate with a great mullet and purple couch.
Who's the Boss? - An Italian boxer finds work as a housekeeper for an uptight female New England executive. Her mother, a sex-starved senior citizen, laid the groundwork for Golden Girls. As Tony's daughter became more feminine throughout the course of the series, so did Angela's son.
Perfect Strangers - Cousin Larry meets Balki as he conquers Chicago.
Growing Pains - Launched the career of Kirk Cameron.
The best thing about these sitcoms is that they always implored the viewer to continue viewing after the commercial break. I miss that.

Shame on me:
1. Silver Spoons....brought us Jason Bateman and Erin Gray. Also, the Moonwalk for white people.
2. Growing Pains...for whatever reason, it was all of a sudden okay to say the word "Boner" as often as you wanted. Sounds good to me.
3. Who's The Boss....Alyssa Milano.........that's a spicy meatball! (technically, she wasnt so spicy here, since she was about 11 years old, but still)
I was never into Small Wonder, and the Smashing Pumpkins/Billy Corgan rumors really turned me off.
