Do any of you use Hulu? Looking for shows that entertain adults but a 7 year old can be in the room.

Futurama is always a fave for me.

Depends on the family but Bob's Burgers is great. And a similar one by the same creators is The Great North.

They're probably on par with the Simpsons in terms of overall appropriateness for a 7-year-old. Super wholesome too.

Oh also there's a couple of seasons of Lego Masters if you like competition shows. That should be good for all ages.

I can't tell if it's still on Hulu, but Brooklyn 99 is funny and kids can be in the room.

Bob's Burgers is my main and only recommendation. It's animated, the later seasons are also incredibly wholesome while also being funny and for adults.

It's a little late in the season, but Over the Garden Wall is very much a show they could get into. Maybe a little scary depending on how they deal with villains, it can go into some pretty scary themes as far as kids shows go.

It deals with death, but I'd be comfortable having a 7 year old around for Only Murders in the Building. It's fun, lighthearted, and all pretty G rated humor.

Schitt's Creek is another show that is non child targeted but incredibly lighthearted and fun. There are a few scene's that reference adult behavior (like "rolling around in the hay loft") but doesn't really show them.

Edit: Yeah, maybe not WWDitS... sorry

The last one depends on the 7 year old, but What We Do in the Shadows, is a very fun show and mostly kooky fun. It does have swearing and could be a bit scary for kids. I'd give this one a watch personally before deciding it's ok for them to be around for.

In addition to other suggestions, King of the Hill?

Light dramas:

• Scrubs - comedic drama about new doctors working in a hospital, very charming with relatable characters but also with some hard-hitting moments
• The Rookie - cop show with a liberal bent, middle-aged Nathan Fillion is inspired to switch careers from the construction business to police officer; I like this show because of the focus on uniformed officers instead of just detectives, and also the focus on proper procedure in police work
• Eli Stone (this ends somewhat inconclusively but still worth a watch IMO) - lawyer gets a brain aneurysm which makes him hallucinate musical episodes, which inspire him to take on cases for the little people
• Buffy; Angel; Firefly - probably don't need a lot of introduction, but I most like these for turning tropes on their heads
• The Orville - if you've been missing 80s/90s era Star Trek, I highly recommend this show; EDIT: I guess there are probably a couple of episodes of this I would skip watching with the kid around - there's one with an alien who releases a pheromone that makes everyone very, uh, attracted to him, and another that deals with the subject of porn addiction (S01E09 and S02E02)
• Veronica Mars - teenage private investigator looks into the death of her best friend, much less Disney Channel than it sounds, very worth watching; EDIT: maybe not this one - I'm now remembering that, although it's not shown on screen, there are some themes of dealing with the aftermath of sex with no/dubious consent
• White Collar - convicted forger helps the FBI solve white collar crimes; the charm just oozes off this show and the chemistry between the characters is fantastic, and there's often a fun mini-heist in an episode
• Elementary - I like this take on a modern Sherlock Holmes better than the BBC adaptation; Jonny Lee Miller plays sober addict Sherlock in NYC and Lucy Liu plays his sober companion Watson
• Burn Notice - a burned spy takes on whatever work he can find in Miami; great for turn-your-brain-off action

Sitcoms:

• My Name is Earl (also ends inconclusively but also very worth watching) - small town petty criminal Earl has a life-changing moment and makes a list of all the people he's ever wronged and tries to make it up to them one by one; EDIT: there's a stripper and a prostitute in this show, but they're treated just like any other character - I think the only danger, really, is seeing the stripper in a skimpy stage bikini
• Raising Hope - from the same creator as the above, a teenage boy is suddenly saddled with a baby he's fathered, and his family rallies behind him to support her raising, often in hilarious fashion
• Malcolm in the Middle - boy genius Malcolm struggles with life, as does the rest of his working class family; the characterization and hilarity are off the charts
• 30 Rock - behind the scenes producing a live sketch show with a cast of extremely entertainingly wacky characters
• Superstore - follows the employees of a Walmart-like store; it's all great but the best parts IMO are the tiny vignettes it shows of customers behaving hilariously in thoughtless/entitled customer fashion (aside: this is the only TV show I've watched that acknowledged COVID in-universe, with the final season showing masking and distancing protocols in the store)

Anime:

• SPY x FAMILY - a spy needs to find a wife and kid for his cover for a long-term job, but they're all keeping secrets from each other; extremely wholesome

Cooking competition shows:

• Chopped - competitors have to cook three courses while incorporating four forced ingredients for each course, some of them curveball; I like this show for the emphasis on the food and not on the drama, and the interesting challenges that come with some of the ingredients
• Cutthroat Kitchen - competitors bid to sabotage each other with very tricky challenges, such as substituting ingredients with vastly inferior ones, or forcing two rivals to cook while attached to each other, or having to craft cooking utensils out of aluminum foil; Alton Brown hosts in delightfully evil fashion
