| | |A more successful reboot of the 1974 series. Aside from it having pro-Christian messages, one of the episodes also featured a condemnation of the [[Illuminati]] while another featured a condemnation of Nietzche's works. Due to GPB4's ties to PBS in the United States, it is also one of the few conservative shows on the otherwise ultra-liberal PBS. | | |A more successful reboot of the 1974 series.

| | |A pro-friendship, pro-family preschool show that encourages kids to get outside and have fun playing sports like normal kids used to do every day. The nihilistic villains are always defeated and no one ever listens to them. This show is notable for producing a popular internet meme known as the "We are Number One" song as part of a GoFundMe campaign to help actor Karl Stefansson recover from pancreatic [[cancer]] in 2016. | | |A pro-friendship, pro-family preschool show that encourages kids to get outside and have fun playing sports like normal kids used to do every day.

| | + | |Very pro-family, clean cut, clean living sitcom of the 1950's early 1960's traditional nuclear family, the Cleavers. Unfortunately, their real lives off screen were hardly Cleaver-esque, as all of its main stars except Ken Osmond, 'Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver's' archenemy, 'Eddie Haskell', went through several divorces and remarriages between them while Osmond never became addicted, broke or criminal after the original show ended, unlike so many other former child stars, is still married to his only wife, Sandra Lee Purdy, since 1969, with whom he had two children, born 1971 and 1974 and after the original show ended, did something very opposite his 'bad boy' 'Eddie Haskell' persona: became a Los Angeles Police Department officer from 1970-1984, retiring on medical disability in 1988 while starring in 1980's cable-TV remakes of the original series that ran from 1984-1989 with a network "pilot" (first episode) in 1983, a 20 year "reunion" TV movie after the original show's ending, both the pilot and serieses' propers had middle aged 'Beaver', 'Wally' and 'Eddie' back as middle aged adults dealing with more depressing 1980's problems. |
