ABC this week adds another show to its stable of family-based situation comedies that frequently feature story lines set at school.

Joining the 1980s-set "The Goldbergs," the 1990s-set "Fresh Off the Boat," and contemporary-set "The Middle," "Modern Family," "black-ish," and "The Real O'Neals" is the contemporary-set "Speechless."
If you've been anywhere near a television in the past month, you've seen a promo or two for the heavily hyped show about a family that includes a 16-year-old boy with cerebral palsy who uses an alternative-communications device.
