I'm looking for recommendations for shows to watch with my 12 year old daughter. It's become a little routine for my daughter and I to watch an episode or two of a show before she goes to bed. I'm looking for some recommendations based on shows she likes.

Ones she really liked

Avatar (OG) - this is probably her favorite ever
Modern Family
Young Sheldon
Malcom in the Middle
Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Others we've watched, but she lost interest in

Clarissa Explains It All
Avatar (live action)
My Hero Academia
Suburgatory

That's very cool!

Already watched Legend of Korra?
I'd suggest Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood that I consider very similar to Avatar in being funny/easy going/friendly but having those arcs tackling mature issues.

Arcane is also cool.

As she seems to like sitcoms (Malcom in the Middle is my favorite), try Scrubs :)

I'm torn on Korra. I really liked the first season, but I remember it going downhill. I remember the season with Henry Rollins being really dark. Like the whole choking people thing seemed a little much for nickelodeon. That and my wife is still mad about Korra breaking the connection with the past Avatars. I guess I'll leave it up to my daughter if she wants to watch it.

I've seen Full Metal Alchemist suggested a few times. I'll definitely be checking that out.

I still need to get to watching the new season of Scrubs and Malcom too. I cancelled Hulu because fuck Disney, so I guess 🏴‍☠️

If she liked Avatar you gotta do Korra!

Absolutely! And the new movie is a nice, if slight, coda to the ATLA gang and bridge to LoK.

Arcane is a great show but 12 is a bit young for it.

I utterly disagree, it's TV-14 and those ratings are made by fanatical conservatives to appease Christian parents associations. Trust your kid's intelligence.
