Sibling Watch-Together TV

When brothers and sisters are different ages, it can be hard to find television that appeals to everyone and still feels age-appropriate. That extra-gentle show your preschooler loves might be way too boring for a tween sibling. Or an older kid's favorite mystery series could be too hard to follow for a younger kid. But sharing media is a great way for kids of different ages to bond and learn from each other -- and maybe even stop arguing for a little while. These TV shows appeal across age groups. For more crowd-pleasers, try Family TV Shows to Watch Together, Reality TV for the Whole Family, and Shows for Kids While You're Making Dinner.
