Not only does Bob stand up for chivalry and try and rescue her, but Linda, when discovering this independently, makes clear she has no intention of cheating on her husband. This series supports the nuclear family since the Belcher children, Tina, Gene, and Louise, may tease each other, but will stick up for one another when needed, unlike most siblings in today's liberal media.

The series emphasizes the familial relationship between Prince Adam/He-Man and his parents King Randor and Queen Marlena, between Teela and her adoptive father Man-At-Arms (Duncan), and between Orko and his Uncle Montork. The episode "Trouble in Arcadia" contains an anti-feminist message. The land of Arcadia is ruled by women and the men are enslaved because Queen Sumana believes women to be superior and men are only good for manual labor. He-Man changes her mind when he saves the mines under the city from collapsing and Sumana agrees to encourage cooperation between the sexes.

|Does the title not say it all? Three young reporters (consisting of an American colonist, a British expatriate, and their cuddly French sidekick) working for the ''Pennsylvania Gazette'' newspaper witness the era of the [[American Revolution]] and its aftermath through their innocent eyes and learn what America represents. Key figures from the era make recurring and guest appearances as well, most often [[Benjamin Franklin]] and [[George Washington]]. It is one of the few conservative shows on the otherwise ultra-liberal educational network.

|''The Lion Guard''
|2015-2019
|Disney Junior
|TV-Y
|A sequel TV series based on conservative animated Disney movie, ''[[The Lion King]]''. ''The Lion Guard'' tells of the adventures of Simba and Nala's son Kion as he carries out his duty as leader of the Lion Guard, tasked to protect the Pride lands and preserve the Circle of Life. The series is pro-family, as shown with most of the Lion Guard. Kion's parents - King Simba and Queen Nala, protagonists from the film - are responsible rulers and help Kion out sometimes (one episode has Nala giving Kion and his sister Kiara a challenge to prove their bond as siblings), Timon and Pumbaa adopt Bunga the honey badger as their nephew and treat him well, and Beshte the hippo looks up to his father and is shown to be as smart and friendly as he. The Guard even considers Fuli the cheetah as part of their family as well even when she's a solitary animal. Poaching is shown in a negative light, with animals like pre-reformed Janja the hyena and the jackals actively disregarding the Circle of Life so that they can hunt everything in sight. Redemption is also portrayed well, with animals like the aforementioned Janja and the crocodile Makuu reforming from their villainous ways to cooperate with their fellow animals.

The show also includes the family's pet, Perry, who as secret-agent platypus fights against the evil schemes of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. Despite being about a non-biologically related family, though it never states if the parents were divorced or widowed, the show promotes family values and encourages friendship, as well as the golden rule. The show has humor for the young age group intended, but is just as easily amusing to adults and teenagers, including clean social satire.

|''ReBoot''
|1994-2001
|YTV (Canada), ABC 1994-1996, first-run syndication (US), 1997-2001
|TV-Y7
|This Canadian CGI series was created by Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair, the makers of the CGI in the famous Dire Straits "Money for Nothing" music video. It takes place in a digital world called Mainframe where the Guardian Bob fights against the evil viruses Megabyte and Hexadecimal. His allies include Dot Matrix and her little brother Enzo.
The series contains pro-family themes in its depiction of the familial relationship between Dot and Enzo, with Dot acting as a mother to Enzo due to their parents being deceased. Dot is very caring and protective of Enzo, while Enzo looks up to his sister and affectionately calls her "sis."
The series promotes capitalism, as Dot is the owner of a Diner. In the second episode "Racing the Clock," Enzo aspires to be a capitalist like his sister by starting his own delivery service.
The series also condemns the use of smear propaganda. In Season 3, the show's original protagonist, Bob, has been thrown into the Web, and Enzo, having been recently made a Guardian, carries on in his stead. However, Megabyte uses his minion, Cyrus, to launch a smear campaign to turn the Mainframers against Enzo.
The series promotes redemption, as Cyrus eventually changes sides and helps Enzo win a "game" (a large purple cube that comes down and puts Mainframers in a virtual games world where they will be "nullified" if they lose to the Player Character, referred to as the "User"). Hack and Slash, Megabyte's two most prominent henchmen, as well as the virus Hexadecimal, also eventually turn good.

|''Samurai Jack''
|2001-2004, 2017
|Cartoon Network (2001-2004), Adult Swim (2017)
|TV-Y7 (2001-2004), TV-PG/TV-14 (2017)
|When Aku, an evil shapeshifting demon, devastates a boy prince's land in feudal Japan, the prince is sent around the world to train to become the ultimate samurai warrior. He returns home as a young man and sets out to use a divinely-crafted katana previously wielded by his sage father, the unnamed Emperor, to slay Aku. Before the prince can strike the killing blow, Aku opens a time portal to send him eons into the future, where the demon rules the world. The samurai adopts the name "Jack" upon hearing locals repeatedly refer to him as such and vows to fight Aku's oppression until he can return to his own time and undo Aku's future. Not only is the inventive series famous for bringing many artistic and technical innovations to animated cartoons, such as slower, more cinematic pacing and extended stretches of time without any spoken dialogue, it teaches audiences to value hard work and persistence even when goals are seemingly out of reach. Likewise, it draws a clear distinction between Jack as a paragon of good (if not a Christlike figure) who values family, friendship, unity, and selflessly helping people in need above all else; and Aku as the ultimate form of evil (analogous to Satan), who compulsively, nihilistically, and relentlessly pursues his selfish ambitions because he cannot stop his own diabolical nature. In a few episodes, Jack collaborates with a brutish and boisterous but well-intentioned, unnamed Scotsman who is his sole equal in melee combat and subtly promotes the Second Amendment by using a submachine gun as both a prosthetic leg and a supplemental weapon.
|-
|''She-Ra: Princess of Power (Filmation series)
|1985-1986
|First-run syndication
|TV-Y7
|The sister show to ''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe''. Although the titular protagonist, She-Ra herself, is female, the show does not promote radical feminism, instead promoting many of the same conservative themes as its spear counterpart. The pro-family themes are still present as the ''He-Man'' crossover episodes emphasize the familial bond between Adora/She-Ra and her brother Adam/He-Man and unlike a feminist, She-Ra does not act patronized by being protected by her brother. There is also a family bond between Glimmer and her mother Queen Angella and in the episode "Micah of Bright Moon," they are reunited with their husband/father King Micah. The series also has an anti-tyranny and pro-freedom message since the main characters are fighting in the Great Rebellion against the Evil Horde, a group of alien invaders led by the series antagonist Hordak. The Horde is shown to engage in cruel taxation in multiple episodes. The episodes "A Loss for Words" and "Book Burning" contain a pro-free speech message. In the former, the Horde's witch, Shadow Weaver, devises a spell that makes people unable to talk in order to prevent them from speaking out against the Horde. The latter is about censorship of information that goes against the Horde's narrative. Sadly, the series got a much more liberal reboot in 2018.

|TV-Y
|Part of Japan's ''World Masterpiece Theater'', which adapted various beloved children's classics, ''Tales of Little Women'' is an animated adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic story of four sisters growing into little women set against the [[Civil War]], while skillfully expanding on the source material, including showing [[capitalism]] in a positive light, mainly in the form of Jo's boss Henry Murdoch, owner and publisher of ''The Newcord Times'' (who hires former runaway slave John Marty), as well as being as pro-family as its source material.

|''TaleSpin''
|1990-1991
|Disney Channel, first-run syndication
|TV-Y
|Baloo (A character who first appeared in Disney's 1967 animated version of ''The Jungle Book'') works as a cargo pilot for a small business called "Higher for Hire." The business is owned by capitalist businesswoman Rebecca Cunningham. Although Baloo's employer is female, the series does not promote feminism because Rebecca shows respect for Baloo when he does something good and she makes mistakes sometimes. The series is also pro-family, as Baloo serves as a father figure for his adopted son Kit Cloudkicker and Rebecca is shown to be a loving, caring mother to her daughter Molly.
The series also depicts Socialism, Communism, and Big Government in a negative light, as the recurring nation of "Thembria" (a stand-in for the Soviet Union) is a poverty-stricken nation constantly marred by big-government bureaucracy with long lines for basic government services. Its recurring representative, Colonel Spigot, acts like a Russian Commissar, constantly boasting about his country's "greatness" with no self-awareness of how terrible his country really is. Thembria is a Police State in which people are often charged with frivolous crimes as an excuse to imprison people. Thembria is depicted as having state-run media and total censorship of all foreign media. The state-run media broadcasts public executions to make "examples" of those who resist the State. Thembria's leader, the "High Marshall," is depicted as a totalitarian, egotistical Stalin-like figure who uses Communist cliches like "the people's [blank]."

|''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 series)''
|1987-1996
|First-run syndication (1987-1989), CBS (1990-1996)
|NR
|Loosely based on the comic book series of the same name by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman. Four anthropomorphic turtles, guided by their Master and father figure Splinter, an anthropomorphic rat who was formerly human (as depicted in the show's opening montage), and assisted by their friend, Channel 6 news reporter April O'Neil, fight to protect New York City from the evil forces of Shredder and Krang, in addition to other villains and criminals. The series contains pro-family themes as the turtles are brothers and their mentor Splinter acts as a surrogate father, whom the turtles treat with great respect.
The series also depicts the Mainstream Media in a negative light, as the head of Channel 6, Burne Thompson, constantly attempts to slander the turtles and turn the public against them (much like J. Jonah Jameson from ''Spider-Man''). Also, in the episode "Turtles on Trial," a slimy, sleazy talk show host named "Clayton Kellerman" (an obvious reference to liberal talk show host David Letterman) mocks, insults, and slanders the turtles very badly, and even after they save his life, he still refuses to recant his slander because he "has a reputation to uphold and [he] didn't get it by being a nice guy." The only positive member of the media is April, who acts very much like a modern Internet pundit countering the slander against the Turtles and revealing the truth.
The show also has an anti-pacifist message:
In the episode "Hot-Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X" the "Neutrinos" are introduced as a group of Pacifists from Dimension X (The dimension where the main villain Krang and his Technodrome are from) who don't want to fight and just want to have fun. They are shown having lots of fun on Earth (without any teenage vices) and don't want to go back to the war in Dimension X. But by the end of the episode, they realize the necessity of fighting against the forces of Krang in Dimension X.
In the episode "Attack of the Big MACC," MACC is introduced as a soldier robot from the future who doesn't want to fight anymore (like No. 5 from ''Short Circuit''), but by the end of the episode, the Turtles convince him to become a "soldier for peace," indicating that peace will only come if it is fought for.
In "Planet of the Turtleoids," the titular race of anthropomorphic turtles are pacifists who live in the idyllic city of "Shell-ri-la" are defenseless against a two-headed dragon named Herman the Horrible (who turns out to be a machine piloted by two corrupt members of Shell-ri-la's own government). This demonstrates how pacifism merely leaves a nation at the mercy of any aggressor who might attack it.
The episode "Shredderville" shows the failure of a centrally-planned economy. In the episode, the Turtles find themselves in an alternate reality where they never existed and Shredder succeeded in taking over the world. Unfortunately, as "Emperor Shredder," he attempts to micromanage the economy of his "empire" but can't keep up with all of the repair requests and thus the world is in a horrible state of disrepair.

|''The Transformers''
|1984-1987
|First-run syndication
|TV-G
|The Autobots protect Earth and humanity from their old enemies, the Decepticons. The show makes a clear distinction between good and evil by contrasting the protective, charitable, and altruistic Autobots vs the misanthropic, self-serving Decepticons. The show also promotes family with the relationship between Spike Witwicky and his father, Sparkplug, and later Spike's wife Carly and son Daniel.
In the episode "Megatron's Master Plan," the Decepticons disguise themselves as Autobots in a [[False flag|False Flag Operation]] to frame the Autobots and they are helped by an unscrupulous human named Shawn Berger. As a result, the Autobots are banished from Earth, and the Decepticons take over and enslave humanity. Ironhide and Cliffjumper eventually persuade Optimus Prime to head back to Earth, on the understanding that it's better to protect the humans from the Decepticons even if they're not appreciated for it. After thwarting an attempt to push them into the sun, the Autobots liberate the humans from the Decepticons, vindicating themselves despite the lack of evidence of the False flag. In season 2, a new group of flying Autobots, the Aerialbots, are introduced. At first, they don't see the value of protecting humans since humans are smaller, weaker, and more frail than they are. Their attitude changes as they get to know the humans. The episode "Thief in the Night" eschews [[Political Correctness]] by depicting a Libya-like dictatorship called "Carbombya" and its dictator Abdul Fakkadi is an obvious reference to [[Muammar al-Gaddafi]]. Fakkadi is depicted as extremely egotistical and narcissistic, just like the real-life Gaddafi, and the name of his country is a reference to Gaddafi's support of [[Terrorism|terrorists]]. This episode offended liberal voice actor (and "Palestinian" sympathizer) Casey Kasem, who left the show over it.

|Unlike the liberal movies, the cartoon follows what the comics were originally about (civil rights), as Charles Xavier leads his private school for mutants to help is students learn to use their superpowers for good. The show also states that government should say away from the social issue involving discrimination rather letting society accept them for what they are (an ideology that conservative icon [[Barry Goldwater]] preached).
