  Power Rangers

  ABC Family, 11am

  High-energy martial arts, diverse characters and a good message have kept Power Rangers ‑- about a team of youngsters that morph into multicolored superheroes ‑- on the air for nearly 12 years. Though it's geared toward the grade school crowd, the show has garnered an amazing number of grown-up fans. A few adult themes pop up now and then, like death and grief, but kids need to learn how to deal with that stuff too.

  Boy Meets World

  ABC Family, 1pm

  This show started out aimed at teens too young to date, and then grew up with the actors when they went off to college, got married and began their lives as adults (in that order). Depending on where you start in on the reruns, you can catch it at any point. But even the racy stuff is clean, as Cory and his best friend, Shawn, struggle to grow up in Philadelphia ‑- always having the same teacher, no matter what the grade.

  Full House

  ABC Family, 12pm

  This show takes you back to the days when the Olsen twins were innocent and John Stamos was a teen idol with a bad haircut. Now it's the next generation's Brady Bunch, with kids laughing at the hokey plots and weird clothes but still getting drawn in by the warm family dynamic. With all the sex, drugs and violence on the tube these days, it's refreshing to sit down with the kids and watch something completely worry-free. And how cool to see a dad with some backbone when it comes to childrearing. Wow, novel idea. No wonder Full House is still on the air 17 years later.
