Good place super fan here ( I read his book!). Pushing Daisies, Chuck and Eureka are good options. Maybe warehouse 99.

Michael Schur also did Brooklyn 99 which was a family favorite

Mayor too but haven’t seen it.

Kids like Modern Family, Blackish, and Fresh off the boat but more family oriented less moral philosophy.

Maybe my name is earl…

-Schitts Creek
-Only Murders in the Building

Old school sitcoms:
-Seinfeld
-The Wonder Years
-The Office
-Boy Meets World
-Fresh Prince of Bel Air

I am a major Good Place fan.

Even though I'm a grownup, I enjoyed watching all of the Avatar the Last Airbender original anime series with my sons. It's been a while, I don't remember how old my sons were...

It has a quirky ensemble cast of strong personalities. And it's about various people trying to do the right thing.

(I didn't like the sequel series - Legend of Korra - so stick only to the original anime. Also, the old Airbender movie and I think also the new live action series were repudiated by the creators.)

I’m not that familiar with The Good Place, but here are some you might consider:


Pushing Up Daisies
Ghosts
Star Trek Next Generation
Eureka
Chuck
The Twilight Zone
The Outer Limits
Doctor Who
Numb3rs
MASH

+1. Dd loved this show and rewatches it all the time.
I’d save Ted Lasso for a few years- so much cursing and mature themes. My 13-year-old loves it.
Also check out Just Add Magic, which i think is on Apple TV.

Ghosts is pretty fun.

Abbott Elementary?

Young Sheldon.

Parks and Rec then Office.

The Fallout series is pretty good.

I just watched the whole series (again) with my 10yo and he loved it — it was the perfect mix of adventure, ideas, absurdity, suspense, creativity, interpersonal relationships, and humor. (The inappropriate parts mostly went over his head but he did ask what is p*rn, haha).

What other shows are similar? I see some recs for Parks and Rec, Community, Man on the Inside, Ted Lasso, etc. but I think those might be too much talking and not enough action to capture his interest. Any ideas?

Looking for something that I would like watching too, not a kids’ show. (No desire to rewatch Lost or Heroes which I think he’d like.)
