This post brought to you by Netflix. All opinions are my own.
It’s sounds silly, but I get a weird sense of joy when my children enjoy older shows that I used to watch when I was little.
I grew up with shows like Saved By The bell and Family Ties. Jem and Strawberry Shortcake were a couple of my Saturday morning favorites.
Watching tv was the perfect opportunity to get close. Snuggling with my Nanny was a favorite pass time of mine.
Since we gave up cable my children have been re-discovering these classic titles on Netflix. They even have some of my favorite Disney movies!
Now when they ask me to sit with them while they watch a show I am eager to see which episode they are on.
Here is a small sampling of some classic shows to share with your kids… all on Netflix.
For your big kids:
1. Saved by the Bell
2. The Baby-Sitters Club
3. Family Ties
4. Jem and the Holograms
5. The Hardy Boys Nancy Drew Mysteries
6. Spiderman and His Amazing Friends
7. Transformers
For your little kids:
1. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
2. The Care Bears Movie
3. The Smurfs and the Magic Flute
4. Strawberry Shortcake
5. Curious George
6. Sesame Street
7. Dumbo

I want to watch breaking bad
Having Netflix has long been on top of our wish list ~ but by time we pay off all the necessities and the ever present unexpected expense that never fail to arise ~ it just never makes the cut into our very austere budget.
We would both be thrilled to be able to enjoy NETFLIX ~ and even threee months would be a BIG treat! There are so many great series that I didn’t get in to (or even know about) until several seasons in: Breaking Bad, Desperate Housewives, House – and some that are quite simply NetFlix productions! This prize would be a real treat!
I like that we can watch Netflix through our PS3 and do not have to get additional equipment.
I would love to be able to watch any TV series I want whenever I want. The on-demand factor is huge for me.

I love their selection of documentaries! (I know, I’m a nerd!) I’d love to watch Jem, too – haven’t seen most of those since I was about 5!
I like the amazing selection of children’s shows.
I learned there are never any commercials no matter how much you watch, and you can pause, rewind, fast forward or re-watch as often as you like.
