What TV show most reflected your family life when you were growing up?

I think Father Knows Best would be the closest with maybe a bit of Donna Reed thrown in and my Dad was a blue collar worker. The only difference was that I was an only child but I had a cousin who lived with us for a few years during a long custody battle between his parents so he became the brother I never had. Those 50s were great years for me.
 
The Little Rascals but don't know if they were a tv program or merely a cartoon at the movies.
 
I'm trying to match a tv show to my life growing up. I had 2 wonderful parents and a much older brother he was 13 yrs older than me and a sister just 2 yrs older than me.My Mom was more of a Boss and my Dad a softie. I'll have to keep thinking of one like my family.
 
I would have to go with "Emergency"
My Dad volunteered with an Ambulance service.
Stepfather was Asst Chief of our local FD for years.
Mother the 1st certified FF in our county...
Me now 34 years in EMS...
 
A little Donna Reed, a bit of Life of Riley, a dash of Leave it to Beaver.

It's funny you mentioned the Life of Riley. It was my Dad's favorite tv show when I was growing up. He told me he liked it because the daughter in the show was named Babs and that's what my Dad called me because my name is Barbara,
