I saw the cast of growing pains interviewed on larry king (I think) when the DVDs were released. they were all talking then, even, about

how there's nothing on TV that families can watch together. during season 2 of idol, I saw it described as the only show on tv families can all watch together. but really if the ratings tell us anything, families don't *want* to watch together. you know?

Responses:

We watch stuff like Haven, Atlantis, Merlin (when it was on) on SyFy or BBC. -- nm - ???? Apr 7, 13:47 1
- I wonder if Librarians is a family show -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 15:13
I don't think there's a Full House anymore....saccharine comedy has gone away - Will Hunting Apr 7, 13:25 12
- my kids watch Full House now. Love it -- nm - Beaker Apr 7, 13:49
- Are there any action shows for families? Like Magnum PI / Knight Rider / The A-Team? -- nm - Roger More Apr 7, 13:36 5
  - Flash -- nm - Remlik Apr 7, 14:50
  - Not for my family. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 14:39
  - Flash -- nm - Beaker Apr 7, 13:50
  - (maybe not "for families", but family-suitable) -- nm - Roger More Apr 7, 13:36 1
    - AoS, from like.. 10-12 and up maybe? not too young because of intensity and periodic violence. -- nm - b. Apr 7, 13:41
- but the disney teen shows -- weren't they meant to replace it? or zack and cody? -- nm - amanda Apr 7, 13:27 4
  - They might be, but adults don't watch Disney shows like that unless they have no choice - Will Hunting Apr 7, 13:40
  - They focus too much on the title character(s). Are too teen-centered. -- nm - Ultron Apr 7, 13:29 1
    - And are all produced by a creepy guy. (the looking at you Dan Schneider nt.) -- nm - Qale Apr 7, 13:38
  - I think our age colors our perceptions. I'm sure all our favs were just as idiotic as the crap on Disney today -- nm - oblique Apr 7, 13:29
Ah for the days of Horsin' Around. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Apr 7, 13:24
If my (non-existent) children wanted me to watch Growing Pains with them, it would severely test the limits of parental love -- nm - Roger More Apr 7, 13:22 1
- "No, kids. Today we're going to watch Too Many Cooks." -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 13:24
network scripted shows have dwindled; but I think quite a bit of it still goes on for reality tv - masterchef, amazing race, the singing and other - b. Apr 7, 13:19
Mentioned a little while ago, but MasterChef Junior is pretty solid family TV -- nm - oblique Apr 7, 13:16 2
- didn't see that, sorry. -- nm - b. Apr 7, 13:20
- it's not bad. I kind of like the "try out" parts of cheffing shows, which it lacks. -- nm - amanda Apr 7, 13:19
This is why I like Fresh off the Boat. -- nm - Qale Apr 7, 13:14
Well, I happily watch Teen Titans Go, Stephen Universe, etc with Logan. - Ultron Apr 7, 13:12 2
- I think they were talking basic cable. -- nm - amanda Apr 7, 13:13 1
  - Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff on extended channels if you go that route. But not so much on the networks. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 7, 13:16
