[quote=Anonymous]We like duolingo.  I also ordered some grammer books off Amazon for them to work on.  We've been watching some movies I recorded off HBO Latino, but I am having trouble finding things that are rated PG or G.  The TV-14 is okay for my 14 year old I guess, but even that is slim pickings.  I find the animated stuff really hard to follow because you can't watch the lips and the voices are often really odd (high, squeeky, etc...so just harder to listen to).  
As PP pointed out, there are some good children's music CDs in Spanish.  But if you're kids are older ES, they might not be into that.  We sometimes listen to the Spanish-language radio stations, but it's often hard to understand the lyrics in the music (although the broadcasters and ads are easy to understand!).

If your kids are older, Univision or Telemundo news is great.  I'd love to find some fun game shows that we could watch together in Spanish.  This thread just motivated me to search, and I found out that my favorite old Spanish-language show -- 100 Mexicanos Dijeron -- has been revived!  And there's even a board game!!! 
I am really psyched for this -- hope I can find it on something that we actually get.
