TV for 9 year old

[Theatrefish]

DD9 is beginning to grow out of kids' tv and I'm hoping to get some recommendations for things she might enjoy.

Successes

Ghosts (the rude bits go over her head!)
Bake Off
The Floor is Lava (but I hate it!)

Failures

Friends (much too grown up context needed)
Anne with an E - didn't hold her attention.

She loves funny stuff - I was wondering about Malcolm in the Middle - is the language ok? (I don't mind "crap", "hell", "ass" but would rather avoid "shit" etc)

Lego masters. Like bake off but with lego. You can get the American and aussie versions too so hours of entertainment.

My 10 year old likes top gear (yawn) Simpsons, any David Attenborough, Steve Backshall, that sort of thing. Will still also watch stuff on cbbc such as horrible histories or the various science based or engineering based things.

As with yours anything too rude on this like top gear fits over his head.

Is it cake?
Steve Backshalls Deadly 60/Deadly Predators
MaveriX on Netflix

The Goes Wrong Show on iplayer. My 9 yr old finds it hilarious!

Yes! She loves the ones I've let her watch but a few of them are a bit too risqué.

Malcolm in the middle will be suitable for a 9 year old. I love the show, has me in stitches

My dd is loving The last bus on Netflix. British school sci fi series, not too scary.

We have also watched Hawkeye and WandaVision on Disney with her.

We mostly tend to end up with baking/cooking shows which can get a bit repetitive.

Love lego masters, but as with masterchef the Australian one is the best with Brickman and Hamish.

DD and DH also love to watch Taskmaster Bleeped edition together.

Is it Cake on Netflix. It’s surprisingly good!

Oh yes and also second Lego Masters

Lego Masters looks great! Unfortunately DD has no interest in Lego.

We tried Is It Cake and it drove me mad!

Taskmaster bleeped might be a great shout - she loved doing the challenges in lockdown.

My almost 9 year old loves Sort Your Life Out with Stacey Solomon 😂

Love this 😁 really made me smile.

Oh yeah! Forgot about Sort Your Life Out! Stacey has another fan in the form of my dd. She loves it.

There is another American one on Netflix. Get organised with the home edit. No idea why she likes these but they seem to float her boat 😆.

Strictly Come Dancing? My 8yr old loves it, we watch 30mins at a time. She also likes Bake off/Junior bake off and I'm thinking she might like Sewing Bee for similar reasons.

If you have Amazon Prime there was a series called Lost in Oz which we all enjoyed, and she liked The Deep series on iplayer.

Mine liked home makeover shows especially American ones, cbbc dramas eg mi high (it's been a while so dont know current offerings) and anything on Disney, back then Hannah Montana and wizards of Waverley place were big hits (we watched too) but this was before Disney + of course. Also they watched blue Peter and newsround. Oh and my hero was a hit, old as I said!

Young sheldon
Any of the master chefs on W
Anything real life a and e,ambulance etc
Yorkshire vet
Yorkshire farm

They're into animals and healthcare!

Mine loved A series of unfortunate events and Free Rein.

Oh Free Rein as well, mine have watched three times over. I quite like it too 😂

She adores the Lemony Snicket (she has read all the books too). I haven't heard of Free Rein but I will check it out.

The mysterious Benedict society
a series of unfortunate events (program not movie)
Young sheldon
outnumbered
pottery throw down
race across the world
lost in space

i found Malcom in the middle a bit rude for mine and also weirder than I remembered 😊

DD is the same age and she loves Taskmaster bleeped! She also likes Victorious, Sam and Cat, iCarly and on Disney plus she likes Jessie and Liv and Maddie.

Oh she’s also watched all of the classic Full House and the reboot Fuller House which I also enjoyed in a retro way. (Lots of “I had an outfit like that” from the 90s fashion!)

Where can I find Taskmaster bleeped?

Oooh my DD who is 9 liked Sabrina the Teenage Witch (the 90s one) and I absolutely loved rewatching it too

Taskmaster is a big hit here too. The bleeped version can be found on All4

My 9 year old DS like floor is lava, is it cake and anything Marvel.
