If you like cartoons, _Bob’s Burgers_ might fill the bill. Louise is a schemer but she usually does the right thing in the end. Tina is the conscience of the show without being preachy, and Gene is full of goofy goodness. And the family genuinely cares about each other, and helps others when they can. ---
