Family Friendly Programming Forum
- Family Friendly Programming Forum
The Family Friendly Programming Forum is a coalition of over 40 advertisers, all of whom belong to the Association of National Advertisers. They seek to increase the amount of "family-friendly" programming on U.S. television.
They define family-friendly programming as:
It is relevant to today's TV viewer, has generational appeal, depicts real life and is appropriate in theme, content and language for a broad family audience. Family friendly programs also embody a responsible resolution. Family friendly programs may include movies, dramas, situation comedies and informational programs.

The FFPF supports various programs and initiatives:
* Script Development Fund
* Student Scholarship Program
* Annual Symposium
* Family Television Awards
The script-development fund has helped several programs reach the pilot stage — including
*"Gilmore Girls"
*"Life Is Wild"
*"Bionic Woman"
*"Chuck"
*"Ugly Betty"
*"Friday Night Lights"
*"Brothers & Sisters"
*"Everybody Hates Chris"
*"Notes from the Underbelly"
*"Runaway"
*"Commander in Chief"
*"The New Adventures of Old Christine"
*"Related"
*"Complete Savages"
*"Clubhouse"
*"8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter"
*"American Dreams"
*"Big Time"
The fund has no influence on the direction of the show further than the pilot.
