A giddy, joke-dense parody that piles melodramatic cliffhangers into a warm, silly family farce you can dip into.

Overview: The antics of a wealthy family, the Tates, and a working-class family, the Campbells, in the fictional town of Dunn's River, Connecticut.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.

Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
