Someone wants a cooking show. Someone else wants sports. And someone on the couch has already announced, “Anything but another cartoon.”
Finding something to watch together can get complicated when everyone has different interests. Family-friendly reality shows offer another place to start, with real people, everyday challenges, and stories that give everyone something to talk about.
At We The Studios, family entertainment is at the heart of what we create. If you’re looking for a new show to share with your kids, these three original series offer different ways to spend an evening together.
1. Kitchen Fight: For Families Who Connect Over Food
Getting everyone to the dinner table sounds simple…until work, activities, and busy schedules get in the way.
Kitchen Fight follows Amber Nichole Ortiz as she meets families struggling to make time for shared meals. She helps them reconnect before taking over the kitchen to prepare a family dinner.
The food is part of the appeal, but the families give the show its heart. If your household knows what it’s like to eat at different times or rush from one commitment to the next, the premise may feel familiar.
Choose this show if: Your family enjoys cooking, stories about everyday life, or the idea of bringing everyone back to the table.
Talk about it afterward: If we planned one dinner together this week, what would we make and what could each person contribute?
2. Raising Reynolds: For a Look at Family Life in a Small Town
Raising Reynolds follows Blake Reynolds and his family in a Kentucky town, sharing a look at life with four children adopted from foster care.
The series includes the family’s work, social media, and time spent together away from technology. It offers a starting point for conversations about the routines and relationships that make a family’s everyday life its own.
For a household that enjoys getting to know the people behind a show, this is one to explore together.
Choose this show if: You enjoy family stories, small-town settings, and seeing how other households spend their time.
Talk about it afterward: What is one tradition that makes our family feel like us?
3. That Girl Lola: For Families With a Young Sports Fan
If practice schedules and cheering from the sidelines are part of your week, That Girl Lola is another We The Studios original to explore.
Its focus on Lola and sports gives families a way into conversations about effort, goals, and what it means to keep working at something.
You don’t need to play the same sport to have those conversations. Learning an instrument, preparing for a school performance, and trying a new skill can all bring up similar questions about practice and persistence.
Choose this show if: Your family enjoys sports and stories that open up conversations about hard work.
Talk about it afterward: What is something you want to improve at, and what would help you keep practicing?
