Looking for Clean Family Entertainment?

Are you one of the many people who struggle to find wholesome entertainment to enjoy with family members? I know my parents cancelled their cable subscription, because they got so tired of offensive commercials and programs. It can be especially difficult to find clean comedy.

Members of the Church need to influence more than we are influenced by M.

Welcome to Granite Flats

Granite Flats Mormon‘Granite Flats’ is a new fictional series about a small town in the 60’s near a Colorado military base. Interesting characters begin to be presented immediately in the pilot.  Teachers, mechanics, nurses, little kids and parents just to name a few.

The show starts with great mystery.  Metal objects are seemingly falling from the sky in all different parts of town – in some cases wreaking havoc.  No one seems to understand the connection between these objects right away.  Viewers see these different instances mainly through the eyes of children and the town’s sheriff.
