While "Ackley Bridge" is a little heavier than some of these other shows and touches on some pretty serious issues, it's a heart-warming look at the coming together of two schools, and two cultures, with laughs along the way. Set in Yorkshire, the show explores topics like racism, drug abuse, sexuality, and family as two very different schools — with very different students — merge together to create a brand new community that eventually learns how to get on. Eventually.
