Families Watch Together is a television program created by Sesame Workshop in 2003. The show aims to promote positive family relationships and encourage family members to spend quality time together while watching educational and entertaining television programs. Throughout the show, families are introduced to a variety of television programs that are suitable for all members of the family. These programs include educational shows, animated series, and documentaries. Additionally, the show provides tips and guidance for parents to help them choose age-appropriate content for their children.

The format of the show typically involves a family sitting together on a couch or in a living room setting, with a television screen in front of them. A host guides the family through the show, helping them select the programs that they will watch together. The host also provides commentary and discussion prompts to encourage family members to engage in dialogue about what they are watching.

One of the goals of Families Watch Together is to encourage families to use television as a tool for togetherness and bonding, rather than allowing it to serve as a distraction or babysitter. By watching television programs together, families can learn together and create shared experiences that can foster stronger relationships.

Another focus of the show is to expose families to positive role models and diverse perspectives. Through the programs featured on the show, families can learn about different cultures, lifestyles, and beliefs. This can help to promote understanding and empathy among family members.

In addition to guiding families through television programming, Families Watch Together also provides practical tips and advice for parents to help them make the most out of their television-watching experiences. For example, the show may provide suggestions for ways to incorporate physical activity or hands-on learning activities into a television program.

Throughout the show, families are also encouraged to share their own experiences and opinions about the programs they are watching. This can help to build communication skills and foster a sense of shared understanding within the family.

Overall, Families Watch Together is a wholesome and engaging show that promotes positive family relationships and encourages families to use television as a tool for learning and togetherness.
