TwilightZone

Ok, you might say this doesn't sound like a family friendly show. This is a sci-fi show. It's downright scary sometimes. True, but this is some of the best television ever made. Give your kids some intelligent entertainment to balance out all the mind numbing junk they've grown accustomed to. The show relies on great acting and excellent story telling to create a sense of shock and suspense.  No cursing, or blood and guts needed to scare the living daylights out of you.

Of course every episode doesn't deal with just scary subjects, but the way the series grabs you and doesn't let go is scary in itself. The Twilight Zone goes from one end of the spectrum to the other with scary weird westerns, time travel, and even comedy. Be warned though, repeated exposure to quality programming may cause your kids to begin to act intelligently. The entire series has just been released in one collection, if you would like to buy the whole series from Amazon. It's a little cheaper that way in the long run.
