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

Adventure Time. It's a unique show that kinda "grows up" with you. It starts out silly, random, and goofy but by the end of it all it really matures and teaches some very valuable lessons. then you follow it up with "Fiona and Cake" which is a sort of alternate timeline for Adventure Time that swings back around. Fiona and Cake is more mature but still just as good as Adventure Time.

I love Adventure Time, I gotta check out the newer shows

like I said the series grows up with you. Fiona and Cake is quite mature and deals with some dark stuff especially revolving around Finn. so it's a good follow up to Adventure Time.

It has mature emotionality, but my 8 year old was okay with it. We agreed it was good TV, but didn't quite recapture the magic of classic AT. I think because it's too serialised, too long, too grounded.
