Shows for an 8 year old

[MSWR0319]

I'm trying to help DS2 find some new shows to watch on TV. He has an obsession with watching people play video games so we had to lock him out of the amazon account. We have Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Apple TV. What are your kids around that age watching?

Cooking/baking shows (Nailed It, Great Bake Off...)
How It's Made
Mythbusters
America's Funniest Videos
Modern Family, Fresh off the Boat, The Simpsons, The Goldbergs, other sitcoms
Gravity Falls
lots of anime
Survivor
Amazing Race
other competition shows

Voyagers - time travel to fix things in history... really cool! Only two seasons, though, due to the untimely death of one of the leads.
Battlebots
Avatar, Last Airbender

Yes on Mythbusters - there was also a Mythbusters Jr.

Just Add Magic on Prime

My kids are older but are immature lol. They like the new show "The Astronauts." I think it's on Nickelodeon, not sure about streaming services.

Nailed It!
Avatar: The Last Airbender
The Last Kids on Earth
Lego cartoon shows

Dd2 is 10 and still watches these. We all watched Nailed It!, and Airbender. Dd2 also likes Voltron, but only her and DH watch that one.

My 8 year old mostly just wants to watch youtube Super Mario videos. There seems to be an endless supply - eyeroll.

As a family we like:
Amazing Race (there's a new season on now)
Great British Bake Off
Nailed It
The Goldbergs
Superstore - not really for him, but he enjoys it!
Holey Moley
He likes The Masked Singer too, but the rest of us don't want to watch it!
AFV is a favorite!

(Although I do need to watch Gravity Falls...)

DD (age 10) likes Nailed It!, which we watch together. We love the Nicole Byer/Jacques Torres team.
I like The Great British Bake Off, but DD hasn't watched with me. She also likes Chopped and Guy's Grocery Games.

We both enjoyed She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Netflix) and she loved Just Add Magic (I found it a bit tedious, but I'm not the target demographic)

We don't have Hulu, but my brother Joe recommends the Animaniacs reboot there; it should also be noted that classic Animaniacs episodes are available at Hulu as well, but I'm not sure how well they hold up. (I thought they were hilarious when I was a kid.)

DD and I will happily watch Mythbusters and Mythbusters Jr all day together. (I like Allie Weber from MBJr and recommend following her on social media.)

We're also big American Ninja Warrior fans, but we had to scale back our viewing because DD was using it as an excuse to jump on the (new) couch.

Good luck with weaning off the video game walkthroughs ... we had to lock our smart TV overnight so DD wouldn't sneak a binge at 3am on school days.
