2Point4 Children (1991)

Andrew Marshall's family comedy looks like the most ordinary premise of the decade: the Porters, a mother, a father, a son and a daughter. Then it keeps tipping into stranger, sillier territory than you expect, which is what makes it more than filler. Belinda Lang is terrific as stressed-out Bill, the one holding the household together, and Gary Olsen plays her husband with real warmth. A good choice if you want a 1990s family sitcom with more bite than its setup suggests.
