Wholesome TV Picks | Clean Family-Friendly TV Show & Movie Recommendations for Busy Parents

You scroll for 20 minutes trying to find something family-friendly to watch, only to get burned by surprise language, adult jokes, or themes that don’t match your values hiding inside “family” TV shows.

Rating systems don’t tell you about the subtle innuendo, surprise profanity, or questionable messages. You’ve tried Common Sense Media, scrolled through Reddit threads, maybe even frantically grabbed the remote. And it’s not your fault. Between work, meal prep, and everything else on your plate, you don’t have time to preview everything yourself.

This isn’t another entertainment podcast reviewing what’s trending on Netflix or Hulu. We’re sharing recommendations from 35+ years of watching wholesome TV—content families have trusted for generations.

As a homeschool mom of 3 who grew up watching thousands of hours of family TV, Jennifer is not your average entertainment reviewer—she already knows where the truly clean content is. Because anyone can tell you what’s new on streaming services, but they’re not vetting every episode for 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.

Expect one thoroughly vetted family-friendly recommendation every Wednesday. Shows and movies you can confidently press play on—the kind of “why didn’t anyone tell me about this sooner?!” picks.

So if you’re ready to break out of the “what can we watch tonight?” struggle and stop settling for shows that don’t reflect your family’s values, welcome to the podcast that’s about to change family movie night for you. Hit follow and let’s dive in.

Popular picks include: Lassie, MacGyver, A Goofy Movie, The Torkelsons, The Girl From Tomorrow, Rescue 911, The Black Stallion, 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.
