We love Perfect Harmony–lots of good music and always a very funny and extremely touching plot. It will probably be kicked off the air because it has too much plot and too much “church.” Oh, well. There are sexual jokes in the show, but nothing in your face, at least so far. Give it a try, but make sure to watch the very first episode first–don’t try skipping that and trying to figure out what’s going on. I’ve watched the first episode 3 times–I really love it.
Since the kids are middle school, I would suggest The Orville. It’s an amazingly good sci-fi show created by Seth McFarlane, who also created Family Guy, which is disgusting but terribly funny. However, The Orville is actually a really good show that is definitely NOT disgusting. It’s a lot like the first Star Trek series, but the acting is better. The plots really draw you in, and the creativity is wonderful. Seth McFarlane is to be congratulated, and I hope you’ll give it a try. It is continued from week to week, so it might be better to watch it via streaming so you can start at the beginning and learn who’s who.
One more thing about The Orville–I like the fact that McFarlane pays tribute to the Wright Brothers in the name of his space ship. That’s cool and it has the potential to make a good impression on children and teenagers.
