Kids Television

So, maybe some of you parents can sympathize, but kids television is just TERRIBLE these days.

Banned in our house simply for stupidity: Sponge Bob, Adventure Time, Angry Oranges, and Regular Show

Banned for inappropriateness: Victorious It's aimed at pre-teen, but one episode a character talks about not being able to get her boobs in the costume and in another a girl hugs a guy and the guy pushes her away and says "Don't start something you can't finish". We haven't banned iCarly, but all these shows the kids are sassy and the adults irresponsible when there even are adults present.

Looney Tunes & Scooby Doo have revamped themselves into over sexualized drama-mongers. Bugs is a jerk, Daffy is a free-loader, Porky is a co-dependant, Speedy is a hawker, and Lola us flat out ridiculous. Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy always have relationship drama.

I do have to say that I really like Phineas and Ferb. Other than that, what the heck? I know I've gone overboard with my show banning in some peoples' minds, but why can we just go back to Coyote falling off a cliff and Jerry bashing Tom's face in with a frying pan? Yeah, it's "violent", but it's slapstick that people understand is for humor. Ugh.
