Don't want to watch 'Friends' with DD. Any ideas?

[Ihatesandwiches]

DD (9) wants to watch this with me. A couple of her school friends watch it with their mums. I loved Friends and watched it and ER with mum every week. But I was mid teens! We watched a couple of episodes but I felt it was very dated and I didn't enjoy it. Any ideas for a more modern, slightly grown up series for us to watch? We have Netflix and free view. TIA

Modern Family

One Tree Hill - I would have been around her age when it came out. Really good tv show similar to The OC

Your 9 year old wants to bond with you and have something to talk to her friends about.

Suck it up sister.

Poor kid

Aww bless her she is only 9. Can you not just watch it with her? The benefit in this far outweighs your 'I don't want to'

Big Bang Theory?

Friends is dated now and very questionable from a feminist POV!

Friends is full of porn and sexual references, I'm guessing that's why you dont want to? I'm far from a prude but there's zero chance of me watching it with my 9yo either! If others think episodes about free porn, sex with strippers, thinking about your parents during sex etc are the stuff for 9yos I'm clearly getting too old...

Gilmore Girls

Just watch it again if she's asked you to.

The Middle

Another one for Gilmore girls

I hear modern family is the up to date version of friends, so maybe that? Or Outnumbered?

I also think you should watch it with her. Then she’s got something to talk about with you and her friends. Since you used to enjoy it it’s no hardship to watch it again surely?

Friends is full of porn and sexual references, I'm guessing that's why you dont want to?

I never really thought of that. I presume though if that were OP reason they would have said so, rather then saying they don't want to be she it's dated and they didn't enjoy it .

Friends is really iffy when you watch it now!

Buffy?

The iffy stuff just tends to go over their heads

She wants to chat about it with her friends. Surely it's not so bad you can't watch it again?!

We've been watching g a lot of old stuff like faulty towers & vicar of Dibley. It's lovely to see the kids enjoying them fir the first time.

Poor kid, she wants to do something with you, something her friends also do, so she can bond with you and them

But because you think it’s dated you don’t want to do it,

Suck it up, and be nice to your daughter,

Am I really behind the times to think The Big Bang Theory would be totally unsuitable for a 9 year old?

On the other hand, Young Sheldon would be perfect!

Gilmore Girls

Modern family
Buffy
Full house
Fuller house.

I would say just watch it, I have watched hours and hours of stuff with DD that I cant stand. It's a nice bonding experience and for me and DD tends to open up conversations on all kinds of random things! Surely this is part of being a parent, I'm sure you must have watched crap kids TV when she was younger? This is very similar....

It's easy to skip the unsuitable episodes. I agree with PP your DD wants to be able to chat with her friends and to replicate what they have with their mums - a different series won't cut it.

My dc all loved The Vicar of Dibley!

Hm I have to watch my little pony with my six year old. Count your blessings!

I love friends but think it's inappropriate for a 9 year old. There's an awful lot of sex references. Modern family is a good alternative

There's a reason she wants to watch Friends, surely you can put yourself through it for the sake of your daughter?
