Shila said:  One of those classic family tv shows meant to keep us all laughing in the living room, AFV never seems to run out of hilarious home movies.

Alexandra F. said:  If you’re not hooked by this sweet and quirky Amazon Original series after the first episode or two, keep watching - it’s worth it! It took us a few episodes to get into it but once we did it became a family favorite, and we parents truly looked forward to watching as much as our older kid and tween did. The characters were probably the best part of the show and I appreciated the positive yet realistic relationships it portrayed, particularly between the kids and their families - no need for parent antagonists here! The kids were regular kids going through regular life stuff, but with a unique fantastical spin that made the show truly fun to watch.

Alexandra F. said:  We binge-watched this Amazon Original show as a family a few summers ago when our kids were 8 and 10, and have continued to follow and re-watch it ever since. Three friends discover a magical cookbook and learn to cook yummy recipes using magic spices to help solve (but also create!) problems in their homes, school and community. Fun characters and a unique storyline made it enjoyable for all of us - and totally got my kids into cooking, too!

Sue Krawitz Tandoc said:  My tween boys and I enjoyed watching the Marvel Studios mini-series WandaVision. It is part super-hero, part comedy, part magic, part fantasy. It goes through the decades starting as a classic 1950s suburban sitcom with humor, science fiction and mystery!

Jocelyn Horst said:  A great family show for toddlers through young school ages. Catchy tunes, great morals and character building topics.

Kate Wille Murray said:  The story of 3 generations of women and the stories of their relationship as they go through life. Lorelai became a young mom when Rory was born and they moved away from their family to the town of Stars Hollow. The townspeople became their surrogate family over the years. As time passes Lorelai and her parents reconnect. This fast-talking, fast-paced show is fun. So much about friendship and believing in oneself.

Jennie Utsinger said:  Lego Masters is a reality competition show featuring two-person teams competing to build Lego creations based on a given theme. The projects are unbelievably elaborate and our entire family was enthralled watching the competitors build.

Kate Wille Murray said:  Christian-based, family drama follows a teacher who moves from a life in the city as a socialite to life in the Canadian west as a school teacher.

Shila said:  Little Lunch is a funny mockumentary (i.e., The Office) that showcases a group of school children and the things that happen during their morning snack break.

Shila said:  We love watching this show as a family, it's funny and raw. It does a good job showcasing some familial and cultural identity struggles, even in today's "modern" time. The cast is really talented, too.

Shila said:  This dysfunctional yet superbly entertaining funny family tv show aired in the early 2000s for 7 seasons. It stars an eclectic group of personalities living under one roof, from an over-stressed mom to a zany dad and a brainiac child. These antics are narrated from the perspective of the middle child, Malcolm, whom viewers of all ages can relate to the most.

Shila said:  Everybody Loves Raymond is a family friendly tv show that aired for 9 seasons. The sitcom does not focus on the children, but mainly showcases the smart and hilarious banter between the adults and their interesting family dynamics, including aloof and overbearing in-laws who are always dropping by unannounced.

Lisa R said:  The jokes fly right over my kids' heads, but who doesn't love Kermit and pals? Music and puppets for my toddler, goofy gags for my big kid and a trip down memory lane for the grownups.

Lindsay Fairbrother said:  My daughter loves this continuation of the Boss Baby franchise on Netflix. This is a series of four seasons so far, with 13 episodes each season. So lots of material if it's brand new to you. It's great for kids, but there's lots of that adult humor thrown in to keep you from being bored to tears. So overall it's a great pick for a family show.

Kelly R. said:  This is one of our favorite family tv shows of the past couple of years...we loved watching it together! Based on the favorite books for middle grade kids about clever orphans who are recruited to help out with a secret mission. It's funny, smart, and the production value is high. The acting is wonderful all around, but we can't get enough of Kristen Schaal as "Number Two"...she is hilarious!
