Recommendations for shows to watch with my daughter (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for recommendations for shows to watch with my 12 year old daughter. It's become a little routine for my daughter and I to watch an episode or two of a show before she goes to bed. I'm looking for some recommendations based on shows she likes.

Ones she really liked

  • Avatar (OG) - this is probably her favorite ever
  • Modern Family
  • Young Sheldon
  • Malcom in the Middle
  • Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Others we've watched, but she lost interest in

  • Clarissa Explains It All
  • Avatar (live action)
  • My Hero Academia
  • Suburgatory

That's very cool!

Already watched Legend of Korra?
I'd suggest Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood that I consider very similar to Avatar in being funny/easy going/friendly but having those arcs tackling mature issues.

Arcane is also cool.

As she seems to like sitcoms (Malcom in the Middle is my favorite), try Scrubs :)

If she liked Avatar you gotta do Korra!

Absolutely! And the new movie is a nice, if slight, coda to the ATLA gang and bridge to LoK.

I'm torn on Korra. I really liked the first season, but I remember it going downhill. I remember the season with Henry Rollins being really dark. Like the whole choking people thing seemed a little much for nickelodeon. That and my wife is still mad about Korra breaking the connection with the past Avatars. I guess I'll leave it up to my daughter if she wants to watch it.

I've seen Full Metal Alchemist suggested a few times. I'll definitely be checking that out.

I still need to get to watching the new season of Scrubs and Malcom too. I cancelled Hulu because fuck Disney, so I guess 🏴‍☠️

Arcane is a great show but 12 is a bit young for it.

I utterly disagree, it's TV-14 and those ratings are made by fanatical conservatives to appease Christian parents associations. Trust your kid's intelligence.
