The best TV families with only sisters

Family life has always been a staple of TV sitcoms, usually clans that are a bit dysfunctional but totally lovable. From the early days of television to its heyday in the ’70s and ’89s to now, many sitcoms have revolved around families.

The first are shows like “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” and “Father Knows Best,” along with “Leave It To Beaver” and even the latest episodes of “I Love Lucy.” Then came “Todo en familia” and “Lazos de familia” before current series such as “Modern Family” and “The Middle”.

Most of the families portrayed include boys and girls, an obvious effort to attract more audiences. For example, “The Cosby Show” featured Theo and his sisters, and more recently “Married with Children” featured Bud Bundy and his older sister Kelly. The longest-running current series, “The Simpsons,” centers on Bart and his younger sisters, Lisa and Maggie.

Occasionally a show has been successful with a family consisting strictly of daughters. It’s a bold concept, as it eliminates opportunities for sibling disputes.

These are the five most popular TV shows that only sisters appear on.

“Too close for comfort”

Ted Knight starred in this ’80s series, playing the father of daughters played by Lydia Cornell as the blonde and Deborah Van Valkenburgh as the brunette.

“Full house”

Comedian Bob Saget as widower Danny Tanner raises three daughters with the help, and sometimes aggravation, of brother-in-law Jesse (John Stamos) and best friend Joey (Dave Coulier).

“One day at a time”

Barbara and Julie are the two sisters in this ’70s hit played by Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips, teenagers raised by their divorced mother Ann Romano (Bonnie Franklin). The late Pat Harrington created his most memorable role as Dwayne Schneider, the nosy superintendent of the apartment building.

“Little House on the Prairie”

Michael Landon’s show was more of a drama than a sitcom, but his character as Charles Ingalls had taken care of his farm in Walnut Grove, Minnesota, with three daughters. Melissa Gilbert played the middle child, Laura, who grows up to write the series of children’s books on which the series is based.

“Petticoat Crossing”

Kate (Bea Benederet) runs the Shady Rest Hotel in Hooterville without much help from Uncle Joe, but has the benefit of three beautiful daughters in “The Beverly Hillbillies” spinoff.
