Drama
House of David
House of David bringing David’s dramatic story to life, recounting the rise of his house and the downfall of King Saul’s.
The owls of Treetopington love to learn, laugh and play, and Eva the owlet is no exception. But when things upset or confuse her, she likes to pull out her diary to write about how she’s feeling. And by the end of each episode, she’s learned another important lesson.
Eva the Owlet is based on the Scholastic series Owl Diaries, children’s books that feature some helpful lessons for children. This show variation is no different, offering a succinct moral in each episode for children to learn, such as how to put others first and how to be patient. Through Eva’s writings in her diary, she’ll process her emotions, and she’ll teach a young audience how to process their own feelings, too.
But not only does the series present positive messages; it also stays content-free. Through the episodes we watched, we didn’t see anything that we felt parents might find concerning, making Eva the Owlet a refreshing watch.
And that just may be worth a hoot and a holler.
Eva competes to make the tastiest food to win the Treetop Treats contest. Later, Eva and friends investigate what appears to be a ghost.
There were no content concerns in this episode—and to assuage any fears, we find out that the ghost is actually another owlet. The general lessons in this episode center around learning to work together and listening to others.
Kennedy Unthank studied journalism at the University of Missouri. He knew he wanted to write for a living when he won a contest for “best fantasy story” while in the 4th grade. What he didn’t know at the time, however, was that he was the only person to submit a story. Regardless, the seed was planted. Kennedy collects and plays board games in his free time, and he loves to talk about biblical apologetics. He’s also an avid cook. He thinks the ending of Lost “wasn’t that bad.”

Despite some paranormal themes, ‘Vampirina: Teenage Vampire’ is about as squeaky clean as you can get. Well, for a show about vampires, anyway.
The Chosen Adventures is not Scripture. But for those who don’t mind a little talking sheep with a lot of strong life lessons, this show might be a nice fit for your family.
