When it aired: 1993 – 2000
Why you loved it: It was one of the single best shows to ever air on television, that’s why. Between the strong family relationships, hilarious friend adventures, and Mr. Feeny’s life lessons, you couldn’t have asked for a better tween sitcom.
Why you should watch it with your kids: Your tweens and teens deserve to know about the “Feeny” call, should be witness to Eric’s hilarity, and should aspire to be as good of a friend as Cory and Shawn are to each other. Your kids can grow with the cast through junior high and high school, learning along the way just like you did.

When it aired: 1991 – 1994
Why you loved it: Ooh wee ooh, killer tofu! Doug was a relatable middle schooler with the world’s coolest dog, Porkchop. Not to mention, the theme song was the default tune in your head at any given time of day because it was the bomb dot com.
Why you should watch it with your kids: Because they need to learn the words to “Killer Tofu” and “Bangin' on a Trash Can,” and should know to name Quailman in a list of the ultimate superheroes. Not to mention the fact that 11-year-old Doug can relate to a lot of the things your tween is going through, like fitting in, being true to yourself, and dealing with daily life.

When it aired: 1987 – 1995
Why you loved it: The nontraditional family life of the Tanners was something to behold — so many adults willing to love and care for three young girls without a mother. It was quirky, there was plenty of cheese, and as if it needs to be said, the mini versions of the Olsen twins were almost too much cuteness to handle.
Why you should watch it with your kids: For Michelle’s sass, Joey’s cheesy humor, D.J.’s rocky ups and downs through her teenage years, Stephanie’s middle-child hilarity, Jesse’s famous one-liners, and of course, Danny’s unconditional love for his three little ladies. It’s a class act that should be enjoyed by kids for the rest of time.

Why you should watch it with your kids: Lorelai does the best she can as a single mom, and a lot of the issues and conversations she and Rory come across are great ones to have with your kids regarding relationships, diversity, and life as a tween.

When it aired: 1994 – 2004
Why you loved it: Besides the fact that it was hilarious, you spent your days in school drawing Arnold’s football head and that all of your friends loved it, making it a universal pick, it was just an all-around quality show.
Why you should watch it with your kids: The cast of multicultural characters faces a number of “kid” problems that your little one can relate to, as well a few “real life” issues that are made digestible by the animated series.

When it aired: 1985 – 1992
Why you loved it: The Seaver family was every kid’s dream setup. They had a cool house, the siblings loved each other despite typical rivalries, they took in an adorable foster kid (hello, Leonardo DiCaprio), and it was quirky, adorable, and fun.
Why you should watch it with your kids: It’s an ‘80s favorite that will have your kids laughing along with the characters, but also learning life lessons about coming-of-age topics such as love, peer pressure, grief, and doing the right thing.

When it aired: 1996 – 2003
Why you loved it: For its cheesy special effects, the sassy sarcasm that was Salem the talking cat’s only language, and because no matter how much you knew it wasn’t possible, Sabrina made you feel like maybe you could be a witch someday, too.
Why you should watch it with your kids: Magic aside, Sabrina has a pretty relatable tween/teen life. Your kids will laugh along with the characters while watching a wholesome series that sets a good example.

Why you loved it: Pokémon was all the rage when you were a kid, and having a series that followed a young boy who loved them as much as you did was the ultimate TV win.
