The title says it all for this one. This show is about a close group of friends in the 70s who are in school and spend most of their time hanging out in Eric Foreman’s basement.

This lesser-known show doesn’t get enough recognition. It is heartfelt and will hit you in the feels. It’s about a huge family and their lives, touching on various real-life subjects as well. Throughout the show, you go through their hardships their happy times and their lives overall. “Parenthood” has six season averaging about 45 minutes each, so its going to take you a few weeks to get through it, but it’s so worth it. 
3) “Freaks and Geeks”
This show is about a girl named Lindsey Weir and her brother Sam. Lindsey’s friends constitute the “freaks,” and sam friends constitute the “geeks.” Lindsey finds herself trying to transform herself from a high-achieving student to a rebellious teen, which her parents despise. Her brother, on the other hand, is just trying to fit in with the “cool” high school stereotype. This show also has some serious eye candy starring James Franco as a part of the “freaks” friend group as well as Jason Segel. If you’re looking for a quick one-to-two day binge this show is for you. But it leaves the audience wanting more.
