This week one of the cable stations was doing marathons of Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie, which seemed like the perfect time to drag the kids away from Hannah Montana (blech!) and introduce them to the great classics.
The great part--they really liked these shows--even with their cheesy effects and dialog.
But the kids were complaining quite a bit when the first episode of Jeannie was in black-and-white. DH finally said, "Black-and-white is not the end of the world!" To which SS replied, without missing a beat, "No, it was the beginning of the world."
But they watched it anyway.

We have watched these and many other older shows with our kids. They love Leave it to Beaver, I Love Lucy, Mash, Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island. It's fun to watch, and I think it's a good time for them to expand what they see as funny before they end up limited to the Disney Channel in their preferences!
Ha!, SS is a witty one! Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Get Smart were three of my Nick at Night favorites growing up!
