Little House on the Prairie (1974-1983)

Arthur (1996-Current)

This television show is kind of pushing it. I know for a fact that children will like this show, but parents might not enjoy this show as much as their children. Arthur is based off of a children's book series written by Marc Brown.

In the show, it is about a boy named Arthur who is a fourth grader. The show is just about the daily occurrences in his circle of friends and family. The show captures the minds and really emphasizes children's imagination. I will put a few real shows on this blog post.

Here are some comments about the show:

Lassie (1954-1974)

Almost every know knows the story of Lassie, or at least has heard about this famous dog. Lassie was the fourth longest-running TV show in the in the US for prime TV. This show was originally filmed in black and white and then transitioned to color in 1965.

Lassie's first owners were the Millers. The Millers had a son named Jeff. He was the first owner of the famous dog. Jeff's father had past away so him and his mother, Ellen, live with Ellen's father, Jeff's grandfather.

Lassie's second family was the Martin family. Timmy, who was Lassie's new companion, was a boy the Miller's adopted, but when the Miller's sold the farm, they left Timmy in the custody of the new owners of Ruth Martin and Paul Martin, along with Lassie. The adventures continued.

To continue with the story of Lassie, the Martins moved to Australia. Random, I think so. But, no worries, a forest ranger Corey Stuart and along with two other forest rangers adopted Lassie. The adventures continued.

In the final seasons of Lassie, she wonders around the country side and has little baby puppies. After this phase in life, she finds a children's home and is loved by many children and puts a smile on there face. This ended the T.V. series and movies are produced based off the T.V show. The actual T.V. was based off a movie, ironically.













Here is an episode of Lassie, The Storm. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do! Video found here

Heartland (2007-Current)

This television show is a marvelous show for the family and is based off of a book series. It is about a girl, Amy Fleming, who's mom died in a car accident when she was fifteen and who's dad is not a part of her life. When her mom died, Amy started living with her grandfather, Jack, and older sister, Lou. This family owns a ranch called "Heartland" which they help and heel horses that have been abused or damaged. This is what Amy's mother did and she wants to continue the practice because it is what she loves and enjoys doing. Here is a picture of the cast of Heartland.

Being a big fan of this show, I would not necessarily consider this show for younger children. I personally believe this show is for children ten and above. Excluding that opinion, I do believe family can learn from this show and is a safe and family oriented television series that does focus on family. The slogan of this show is "Healing Horses, Healing Hearts". The slogan demonstrates, alone, what the show is about. Here are some reviewers opinions about Heartland.

These reviews were found here.

This show talks about a variety of issues from relationships, judgement, financial crisis, high school, dreams, and much more. This show is on their ninth season and continuing. It is a Canadian television show, it is playing on the Up Lifting Entertainment (UP), and INSP. These episodes are not updated due to the fact it is not an American television show. Here is an episode call Miracle. This is is the third season. I could not find many episodes on YouTube, so I hope everyone enjoys this episode as much as I do. I own seasons one through three. I am a major fan.

"An accident on the highway involving a school bus and a trailer full of Olympics bound horses leads to sudden fame for Amy and a surge of business at Heartland." This summary is from this link.

If this show interests you, there are a few more episodes on YouTube, but this series is on Netflix. I encourage everyone to look into this show, but if you do not, that's cool too.
