It can be quite a challenge to find appropriate television shows for the children lately. No, we don't allow them to watch a lot of the popular characters. We choose instead to support organizations like Feature Films for Families and introduce the kids to shows from our childhood. We love to support organizations that are trying to bring back quality entertainment for families. One of those organizations is Colony Bay Productions.
Colony Bay Productions focuses on telling the story of America in an exciting living history format. They are a small company working to bring decent entertainment back to families. They are currently producing a series focusing on a small town called Courage, New Hampshire in the late 1700s. I ordered the first episode on DVD and enjoyed it. Or at least as much as it is possible to enjoy a tv show while the children are still awake. Seriously, if you want to hear all the dialog, you must put the smaller children to bed first. You'd think I would know this by now. Or crank the volume up but I kind of refuse to do that because I can't stand when I can hear the television all over the house instead of just in one room.
Ok, now that I am done with that side rant here's what you need to do. Go visit the Colony Bay website. See what they are about. If you like what they are trying to do, order a copy of their DVD yourself. If you really like what you see, become a supporting member or order the teaching materials to use with the DVD. It's time we stopped complaining about the lack of wholesome family entertainment and started doing something about it.
