Title: Shows/movies you can watch with you kids (that you can enjoy as well)
Post by: Phoenix87x on February 10, 2017, 06:13:42 AM

So I was spending time with my nephew the other day and he's obsessed with the show Adventure time. I have to admit I was laughing my ass off as some the adult humor and concepts melded into the show.

Anyone else see this show? 

Or do you have some of your favorite shows/movies that you can watch with your kids that you enjoy as well?

Most of old-school Nick has stood the test of time as far as I'm concerned;

Kenan and Kel
Rocko's Modern Life
Doug
Pete & Pete
Hey Arnold
My Brother and Me
... many others

I'm a big fan of Octonauts, Justin Time, and Tumble Leaf (which is amazing). Pretty much any show that teaches something I'm cool with. I've even learned to enjoy Blue's Clues.

I remember growing up that me and my sister always watched The Simpsons with our parents. Some of the adult jokes flew over my head back then but was something I picked up on later. But the show is definitely not what it once was quality-wise.

Avatar The Last Airbender and Korra both immediately came to mind. Great kids shows with fantastic characters, stories, artwork, music that also has great themes for kids, jokes that adults can enjoy and an all around masterpiece.

Fairly Odd Parents are pretty good.
There are two newer shows, 'Johnny Test' and 'Sanjay and Craig'. I watch them with my little brother sometimes and while I can't say those are very good cartoons, I often laugh like crazy.

What age kids are we talking about?  When my daughter was little, we used to love to watch The Backyardigans with her.  Every episode was a mini musical in a different genre.  I was actually a little sad when she outgrew it.

my kid is into The Amazing World of Gumball and Teen Titans Go!

Gumball is too weird for me, but Teen Titans has some pretty funny stuff in it.
