Wholesome TV Picks | Family-Friendly TV Shows You Can Watch with Your Kids

You scroll through streaming services for 20 minutes trying to find something family-friendly to watch, only to discover unexpected language, adult themes, or content that doesn't match your values hiding in "family" shows. Rating systems don't tell you about the subtle inappropriate jokes, surprise profanity, or questionable messages that slip into so-called "wholesome" content. You're tired of previewing everything yourself or getting halfway through a series only to hit "pause" when something uncomfortable pops up in front of your kids. And it's not your fault. Most entertainment podcasts miss one key thing: you don't have time to preview everything. Between work, homework help, meal prep, and everything else on your plate, researching what's truly clean always falls last on your list. So unlike podcasts that simply review what's popular or trending, here you get one thoroughly vetted family-friendly TV or movie recommendation every Wednesday. From family movies to kids TV shows, wholesome content that's been previewed with your values in mind so you can confidently press play without worry. Because anyone can tell you what's new on Netflix, but they're not vetting every episode for subtle inappropriate content. You need good shows to watch with your kids that align with your family's values and that's exactly what we're here for. As a homeschool mom of 3, Jennifer is not your average entertainment reviewer because she already knows where the good stuff is. With 35+ years of watching the shows she recommends, she's here to help you skip the scrolling through endless noise and confidently hit play on family movie night without previewing first, and finally hear your kids say "Can we watch another episode?" instead of complaining it's boring because every recommendation has already been watched countless times and vetted for content that aligns with your values. So if you're ready to reclaim family movie night and be the parent who actually enjoys family time instead of worrying about what might pop up on screen, hit follow and join us each week. In around 10 minutes, you'll discover timeless family entertainment that brings your family together instead of forcing you to reach for the remote. Wholesome Content We’ve Featured Includes: Lassie, MacGyver, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, The Torkelsons, Operation Dumbo Drop, Rescue 911, Monsters Inside Me, and more. Find More: wholesome TV, family-friendly movies, clean content, good shows to watch with kids, family movie recommendations, kid friendly entertainment, kids TV, and family entertainment perfect for family time.
