What are some other TV shows like Full House and Brady Bunch? She believes the people can see her and hear her. She will only watch the same show all day and night (which I buy on DVDs) until eventually I can not stand it any more and I switch her to another show. There are SOOOO few she will accept though. She loves Full House because of the baby in it. Little House on the Prarie has too much drama. I have tried Family Affair, Waltons, Wonder Years, Golden Girls (which she loved years ago but not now), and I can't even think of what else....Gilligan's Island..... None of them have babies though and I think the baby is the hook with her. Are there any other shows anyone can think of that have a baby or babies in it? Shows like Baby Daddy are too much of "adult humor" for her.
you because it is repetitive, get her extension earphones, then when the show ends, redirect her to another activity. The game Score four helps cognition. Can she play games?
My Mom (94, dementia, in ALF) loves the Classic Movie Channel....her short-term memory is pretty much shot but she remembers all those handsome leading men from the 30's, 40's and 50's (Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, David Niven) and loves their movies. Music has always been a huge part of her life, esp. show tunes so anything funny and light-hearted like My Fair Lady, Oklahoma, Mary Poppins are favorites.....Also Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies.....
Mom has problems with some of the commercials, doesn't realize it is a commercial and can't figure out how it goes with the show. Sometimes that is why I prefer to watch on Amazon...no commercials!
