Comedy series to watch with DC age 9 and 12?

[CanOfLilt]

I'd like to sit down as a family like we did in the 80s and watch something funny together. Any ideas? I wondered about Modern Family but it's a while since I watched it...would a 9 and a 12 year old like that? Are there too many sex jokes?!

Ideas welcome

Bit leftfield here but what about The Mighty Boosh? It's mainly just silly and a bit weird. Or an absolute classic, Spaced!! Again, not raunchy at all and just silly and light-hearted. 🙂

We all enjoyed watching Malcolm in the Middle. My two were both a bit younger than yours when we watched it (probably too young for some of the content ). They're now 10 and 13 and have been asking to watch it again.

Thanks! I've heard of those but have never seen them - I'll look them up!

Outnumbered

Ghosts is really good and on iplayer.

Ghosts! On bbc iplayer.

I love it and would be good for that age.

Just about to recommend Ghosts too

Mine love The Vicar of Dibley.

Mine love Outnumbered, but are a bit younger.

Ghosts.

Frasier.

Ghosts is great. So is Parks & Rec. My DC loved it at about that age or a bit older. And there are so many series of it.

With two 11 year olds we have watched:
Modern family
Kim's convenience
The Good Place
Vicar of Dibley
Red Dwarf

They have also watched all of Friends which definitely has far too many inappropriate sex references!

Definitely Ghosts

Jokes for all ages

Malcolm in the Middle
Brooklyn 99
Superstore
The last 2 maybe a bit risqué depending on what you mind your kids watching. My 10 year old likes them but we are fairly relaxed with what they watch.

Another vote for Malcolm in the Middle. We've also watched Futurama with them, which they love.

Another vote for Ghosts!

Friday night dinner
The good place
Another vote for ghosts and also outnumbered.

Outnumbered is a genius idea! Loved Friday night dinner too, wouldn't have occurred to me for the kids but maybe we'll give it a go (and they'll realise why we always say crimble crumble )

My Dd loves 'Would I lie to you' on I player. Malcolm in the middle is in 4 od. Disney+ has lots of shows on their Star channel not all of them appropriate but lots from my childhood like the dinosaurs. Netflix has a tonne of family shows many of them with the teens of the shows from my generation as the parents which I quite like.

Friday night dinner is my 12 year olds absolute favourite ever you should definitely give it a go!

Trigger Happy TV

Ds who is 11 loves father Ted and blackadder, my other two children couldn't be less interested, get them while they are young. He also loved good omens (one sex scene towards the end but quite brief).

Speechless - my DS watched it with us last year and loved it.

He also loved Friday night dinner, and we're currently watching Brooklyn 99.

I love a lot of these recommended but I wouldn't watch with my 9yo DC because of the swearing Friday night dinner, I think they'd just end up referring to their sibling as Piss face!
