| Looking for great shows to set a weekly bonding time with our young teen boys. We used to watch Flash together a while back. Last night we watched 45 minutes of Survivor. Any recs? Something exciting that we can also have some teachable moments, conversation starters.. but not too heavy Thanks in advance ! |

Friday Night Lights
Friends The political comedy shows like this of John Oliver and Hasan Minaj. Both of those are funny and informative. We also like stand up comedy. Loved Kamau Bell’s special on Netflix, some old Ellen DeGeneris specials. |

| Amazing Race is good and prompts good conversations about how to handle challenges, be a good partner, etc. |

| OP here, thank you DCUMoms and Dads. I grew up hating television, so we don't watch shows but seems there are so many better choices these days especially with Netflix. After homework, I noticed our boys started going to their rooms to veg on iPhones when they don't have sports, so trying to create a new normal where we watch shows together to minimize that and increase family boning time. How about This Is US, everyone seems to rave about it. Is it okay for young teens? |

| This Is Us is like a chick flick. I can't imagine my 13 yr old DS wanting to watch it. |
