24. The Ranch

Very old formula, very recognizable tropes, very staid (and occasionally stilted) comedy. For all that unoriginality, though, The Ranch is remarkably good at what it sets out to do. Its characters are human and act compassionately toward one another. Its setting is refreshingly rural, a rarity in modern sitcoms. And if Ashton Kutcher isn't a revelation, at least his character's parents are played by Debra Winger and Sam Elliott.
