Mine love the 2010 Disney’s like Hannah Montana and Liv and Maddie |
You would love what my kid watched and handled just fine with appropriate explanations when necessary. |
My kids are older, but here are shows I recommend:
PBS Kids - some favorites included Cyberchase, Design Squad, Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman, Postcards from Buster, Classic Reruns - Gilligans Island, Bewitched, Monkees, Brady Bunch, Green Acres, Carol Burnett, Mork and Mindy, Laverne and Shirley, etc. Also: Just Add Magic Flight 29 Down A Series of Unfortunate Events Liberty’s Kids Mythbusters Cake decorating shows |
Yeah, different families can have different concerns, making judgments about whether or not something is appropriate highly subjective. I recommend that if a parent has any concerns, they look up specific shows on Common Sense Media and/or the IMDB Parents Guide. |
Along the lines of "Is It Cake", my daughter loved "Nailed it". |

My 8 DD loves Just Add Magic! |
Anything on PBS Kids is permitted, every Friday. Unpopular opinion but, you need to be very careful with what you show girls, especially.
Read the book Cinderella Ate My Daughter - it cites so many studies about how girls are affected by media exposure even a little bit. Studies show girls are still lagging behind in STEM despite the focus and my belief is that it has to do with their media consumption. |
We loved Just Add Magic! Also Julie and the Phantoms and Gravity Falls. Some of the animated stuff DD liked at 9 was imo pretty dark or emotionally intense - Centaurworld, Kipo, rebooted She-ra - but it's TV-7 and she loved it. Just heads-up adults may find it lands heavier. |
Picking up a few from above but Fetch with Ruff Ruffman is sooo good. It’s like a game show for kids.
Also myth busters is phenomenal. I wish they still made that or would reboot it. Mine also likes at that age Top Chef Junior …. I don’t know if there’s something similar on now, but a competition show with slightly older kids is often atttractove at that age. They all seem to watch dance moms for this reason but I really dislike that … the top chef Junior was focused on skills rather than looks or social cattiness. |
Did anyone suggest the how to train your dragon t. Tv series? That s fun. |
The Jurassic park animated show is great! My 9 year old loves it. |
