three's company?

SCTV or talk radio?

the A team

knight rider

WKRP in Cincinnati was my first thought and match the era of the other hints.

One of my favorite shows growing up. Randomly watched an episode a couple weeks ago. That show didn't age very well.
Yep.

Rest of his guesses were right, and you got the other.

Canadian edition:

Homeless pet helps people

Low-mid income kids navigate the educational system

Hard scrabble individuals work in the logging industry

Old man shows kids his tickle trunk but it's not weird or creepy

Yup, I too had the other three and figured this for the fourth

Let's try an 80s only edition:

A well to do single woman hires a good looking single father with no experience to be a live-in housekeeper, with the series running long enough for her precocious son to grow into a very apparently gay (not that there's anything wrong with that!) teen and the show being unable to acknowledge the obvious

A family hires a good looking live-in male housekeeper with no experience, and then the family moves away without telling the housekeeper, but no worries, because the new family that bought the house have a set of sitcom ready kids and just happen to need a live-in housekeeper as well!

A glimpse into the life of a middle class suburban family that was set exactly 20 years earlier than when the show aired, with an adorable young son who.....uh oh.....here comes puberty.....

A show about a mystery writer who become a crime solver that you were forced to watch when grandma and grandpa visited because it was basically crack for old people

A show centering upon a beloved TV icon returning to the small screen as a lawyer who never seems to lose a case that you were forced to watch when grandma and grandpa visited since it too was basically crack for old people

A glimpse into the evening shift of a New York City courtroom, and it's hilarious, except for the fact that the first two female bailiffs promptly die in real life within two years of being cast in their roles

Nailed them all Ponyboy!

A show that takes place at Abbott Elementary

Thanks, now I feel old. But I regularly watched three of those shows growing up.




A pair of twins move to a new state and have to adjust to an entirely new social situation.

Struggling actors and other middle class people trying to make it all live around a pool and interfere in each others' lives.

A young man is rescued by a family and has to adjust to an entirely new social situation.

The Fresh Prince of bel-air

Second one is Melrose Place, and as already noted the third seems to be Fresh Prince. I'm drawing a blank on the first.

3rd one is NOT Fresh Prince.

Alf

Nope. Think about teen dramas popular in the early 2000's.

Got it.

When you said a pair of twins I thought you meant four people, i.e., two sets of twins. That threw me off.

Time for a 70s edition......

A brood with an octet of kids, several of whom are well old enough to have moved on with their lives, but instead they provide an unintendedly prophetic glimpse into the 21st century by being more than content to still stay tethered to the family household

A single woman supposedly of sound mind meets an oddly dressed, strange gentlemen and, upon being told he's an alien, not only believes him but does the perfectly logical thing and invites him to live in her attic

Dear Viewer - please make sure to watch this show about a man who is tasked with teaching a hodgepodge of hilarious miscreants at the same high school he once attended; signed, Epstein's mom.

Two cops in California manage to have complete conversations at normal voice levels despite riding motorcycles on highways while wearing helmets

A scientist gets angry so often that he proceeds to ruin more clothes in what is likely a matter of months than the average man would normally own in a lifetime

You nailed all five Punker - well done! As I already said, I'm enjoying this way more than I should be.

How about generic descriptions that could possibly be about ten different shows?

A group of doctors battle issues in and out of the hospital with workplace relationships, extreme medical conditions and intense ridiculous emergencies that would likely never actually happen.
