There are certain movies and television shows that I get really excited when I notice that they're on. If I see that Avatar is on, I will almost always put it on. It's not that I think it's a great movie, but it is good background noise. If the Lord of the Rings trilogy is on, I have to watch it. It's an excellent trio of films. Game of Thrones is another amazing show that I am compelled to watch. Today, I was flipping channels and discovered that Adventure Time was on; it's another one of those shows that I have to watch.
Adventure Time is an animated series on Cartoon Network that chronicles the adventures of Finn, a human, and Jake, his friend the stretchy dog, as they attempt to become heroes. The animation style is very bright and whimsical, with appropriate atmosphere when called for. I just watched a zombie episode, and it was great.
As with a great many pieces of entertainment that I enjoy, Adventure Time makes reference to pop culture. The zombie episode I just watched had a line from Army of Darkness in it. The show seems like it would be okay for kids while still entertaining to me. The episode I am now watching just referenced werewolf rules. Each episode is littered with references and ideas that I find fascinating and/or humorous.
If you want something to watch that is entertaining but not demanding, try watching Adventure Time. It's possible your kids are already watching it, and it is a kid's cartoon that isn't annoying for adults. Heck, they've even won an Emmy.
