Home Economics is definitely one of the most brilliant family comedies on air right now. The ABC series is based on Michael Colton’s real-life experiences and it tells the story of three siblings and their families who are living in different situations. The little brother Connor (Jimmy Tatro) is ultra-rich and is living with his daughter in Matt Damon‘s former home after his divorce, the middle sister Sarah (Caitlin McGee) is living with his wife and two kids and they are barely scraping by, but the series is narrated by and mostly follows Tom (Topher Grace), who is a writer and lives with his wife and kids and lives is an upper-middle-class guy. The series also stars Karla Souza, Sasheer Zamata, Shiloh Bearman, Jordyn Curet, Chloe Jo Rountree, and JeCobi Swain. Home Economics recently aired its third season and while it has not been renewed for Season 4, we are pretty sure that it will get the green light. So, if you like the series and are waiting for the possible Season 4 here are some shows you could watch until then.

In addition to his scabrous parents, Michael has to contend with his lothario older brother (Will Arnett), his basically useless younger brother (Tony Hale), his greedy twin sister (Portia DeRossi), and her sexually ambiguous husband (David Cross). Michael’s only comrade in sanity is his son George Michael (Michael Cera), but then again, the teenage boy harbors a secret crush on his cousin (Alia Shawkat).
