    Default "Old" TV shows

    DH and I are watching MacGyver with the boys. It's on Netflix streaming and we've started watching a lot of shows that way. The boys are really enjoying it too.

    What are some recommendations for good family shows?

    I love the Twilight Zone but that may not sit to well with your 9 year old. How about Bewitched or I Dream Of Jeannie? Hannah

    ~My kids really like The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Carol Burnett Show(though this one has some content that isn't always suitable for young children) and I Love Lucy. They too enjoyed watching MacGyver with us last year. We're about to start The Andy Griffith Show.
    Other suggestions: The Adam's Family, Little House on the Prairie, The Cosby Show~
