Little House on the Prairie

Members of the Ingalls family model mutual respect and affection toward each other; the adult role models are patient, loving, and hardworking and inspire their kids to be the same. One regular character is African-American, and the town residents never show a hint of prejudice toward her (perhaps a bit anachronistic, but a great example to follow). Native Americans are usually portrayed as peaceful, although some white characters use derogatory terms for them. Roles tend to be gender-based, but this accurately reflects the time period.

Budding romances sometimes are mixed into the plot, but, as was customary during the time in which the series is set, there's very little outright flirting and nearly no physical contact. Occasional episodes deal with issues such as rape and sexual assault, but these are rare.
