Family Drama is a genre revolving around conflicts between family members. In a more general sense, any work of fiction about the relationships within a family.

The longer, non-funny version of the Dom Com. Expect lots of this in a Big Screwed-Up Family.

On Live Action TV, it usually comes in Dramatic Hour Long shows. Many Soap Operas overlap with this genre. See also Teen Drama.

Examples of Family Drama include:

Live Action TV

Dallas
Family
Our House
7th Heaven
The Waltons
Little House On the Prairie
Caprica: Ron Moore more or less explicitly called Caprica "the first Science Fiction Family Drama," and said that it's basically Dallas meets Rome meets The Sopranos IN SPACE!
Brothers and Sisters
Dirty Sexy Money
Parenthood

Video Games

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. Mixed with Spaghetti Western.
