Older people can remember the days when television shows were more tasteful. Back in the 60′s, 70′s and early 80′s, families could sit down and enjoy a good television show without covering ears and eyes. Today’s television shows are loaded with cursing, violence and sexually-enticing scenes. Those things might be okay for adults, but for children and young teenagers, they are totally unacceptable. Fortunately, there are a few shows that families can set down and enjoy together without worrying about the negative effects that they may have later.

“Melissa and Joey” is one of the newest situation comedies that families can sit down and enjoy together. The show is in its second season and has become and favorite among fans and critics. The show does have some mild innuendo, but it is nothing over the top. “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader”? is a show that has been around for a couple of seasons. It is a show where adults go head to head with fifth graders to test their knowledge on various subjects. This show allows people to bond and spend time together.

Television has become more tolerant of things that are risque, but there will always be family-friendly television.
