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.

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.

Yoli B said:  This show has inspired many food challenges in our home and sometimes the combinations actually work...apple and banana tacos anyone?? MMMM...

Argentine youth sports telenovela that follows a gifted teen who leaves home to attend a prestigious football academy.

The new family show based on the much-loved Percy Jackson books is fun for both kids and adults, whether or not you've read the series.

Kelly R said:  We are having fun watching this with my 11-year-old, who is really into the show even though she hasn't yet read the books. It's a little suspenseful for her at times, but not too scary.

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. Set in the early 1900s, filled with drama and family stories. Very sweet show with sprinkles of love stories, adventure, sadness, and friendship.

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.

Kristin Cole said:  Home Before Dark on Apple TV is such a great story about an 11yo girl that wants to be a reporter. She moves to a small town where a boy has gone missing and she and her friends uncover a lot of secrets and solve some mysteries. Kids and adults will enjoy this!

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.

Sarah Calamita said:  My husband and I always watch Lester Holt. While our kids (6 and 3) watch with us, it is over their heads. I love that he makes a show that is geared towards kids and breaks it down to understand the world today!

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.
