Hmmm...
Adventure Time. It's a unique show that kinda "grows up" with you. It starts out silly, random, and goofy but by the end of it all it really matures and teaches some very valuable lessons. then you follow it up with "Fiona and Cake" which is a sort of alternate timeline for Adventure Time that swings back around. Fiona and Cake is more mature but still just as good as Adventure Time.
I love Adventure Time, I gotta check out the newer shows
like I said the series grows up with you. Fiona and Cake is quite mature and deals with some dark stuff especially revolving around Finn. so it's a good follow up to Adventure Time.
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.
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts
If avatar was her favorite (understandable) then she might like other adventure shows like the dragon prince, samurai jack, she-ra, the mandalorian, the owl house, Steven universe.
For shows like modern family she might like the goldbergs, everybody loves Raymond, abbot elementary, parks n rec.
Veronica Mars
After rewatching that one recently, I'd say 12 is too young. 15-16 would be more appropriate. A huge part of the story in the first two seasons is Veronica trying to deal with and investigate her own rape, and the major subplot of the third season involved a serial rapist. It gets very, very heavy and adult at times.
It's still a great show, but not one for a middle schooler.
My 12yo daughter just recommended Avatar (of course), the new Among Us show (a little gory, but in a hyper-cartoony way), and Gravity Falls.
I got her to go through Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and while she didn't adore it as a love letter to SW and to Amblin-style 80s tween adventures like I did, it was the one Star Wars show she stuck with. I'll also recommend Korra and Adventure Time, and I daresay 12 is the perfect age for AT. Hilda and Kipo & the Age of Wonderbeasts are two more really good ones.
Live action ATLA is okay, but it's more like if the Fire Island Players had budget and some okay actors; it's just so compressed that it's better as a nod-along-with-it background re-watch for some months or years after you last watched the real thing. On the flip side, I found the sheer amount of anime One Piece to be extremely daunting, but the live action is spry and fun and still has at least some sense of scale and scope, not to mention they 100% nailed the casting on Monkey and dialed back the fan service a lot.
The Middle might be one to hold her interest. It’s currently available through Amazon Prime streaming.
the worst witch :)
Full House!
My daughter and I watched Wizards of Waverly Place, and Just Add Magic together. Both were obviously kids shows, but I enjoyed them, and spending that time with her was great.
As she gets older maybe Locke and Key. There is another show along those lines, but I cannot think of the name right now.
