Word of warning, I have asked a simple question and I’m not in the mood today for the “askshuallys” so please indulge the question as it is, thank you
Watching Little House on the Prairie, its gotten me a couple times already and its probably been less than an hour
No idea what reparenting is or means, but I did have an absent father and enjoyed shows with strong male leads that I could watch.
- Fresh Prince with James Avery as Uncle Phil
- Home Improvement is decent with a fairly nuclear family, but leans a bit conservative (but several episodes are him coming to terms with the world has changed)
- For purely goofy Malcolm in the Middle, shows a real family and that while there is yelling and bad behavior, there is genuine love there, and Hal is a great dad.
- That 70s show Kitty and Red became the entire gang’s parents, and were there when parents either straight up left, or were bad influences, or repressed them
- Captain Picard is the perfect father figure.
Not quite sure what reparenting is. But The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross is legendarily wholesome. And if you want to you can use it to learn painting.
Along with The Woodwrights’ Shop, with Roy Underhill, a master craftsman!
I grew up with both shows…
IDK if it’ll be helpful for you, but reparenting is a big theme in the Harrison Ford comedy Shrinking.
Ill take it
For me worked these two series best (or at least these are what I remember watching for that reason):
- Seventh heaven (but it’s extremly fundi christian, I’ve seen this as a teen during the tough times)
- Parenthood (it has 6 seasons!)
For me it’s the reflection of “this is how I should’ve been treated” and the ergo “it’s not my fault”. Be careful with yourself and it’s fine to have a lot of emotions about movies and series. It’s all a part of healing ❤️🩹

I’m not quite sure if this is the sort of thing you’re looking for, but check the dadhowdoi channel on YouTube…
I think Young Sheldon tries to do it, even though it doesn’t make sense psychologically.
What kind of person do you want to become?
Disclaimer: I am not OP.
With disclaimer aside, I think OP seeks to become an actual and functional human.
Parenting decides which kind of person we become. Watching Star Trek will make him a different person than watching Dragon Ball.
