24 Shows to Save Your Summer

Rainy days for grade-schoolers

In the summertime, your grade-schoolers may be the most bummed out by a rainy day, and they may not be able to concentrate for long on books and puzzles. So spice up their time with these favorites:

The Brady Bunch
TVLand, 9am, weekdays
Just think what you'd have to do if you had to entertain six kids stuck inside all day! It's a good thing there's this bunch, which has enthralled kids for more than 36 years. That's a lot of Kitty Carryalls under the bridge.

The Jetsons
Boomerang, 6pm, weekdays
Yes, they have rain in the future too! But for the most part, this show will take your kids to another time and make them forget all about the misery of their rainy day. A whole new generation can learn all about Cogswell Cogs, Astro the dog, his boy Elroy and of course, Mr. Spacely.
