And now, with kids shows, we’re afraid to touch on subjects like death, divorce, and homosexuality, lest the parents phone up and throw a bitchfit. Television was educational not in that it taught us how to count by twos or what the word indigenous meant, but in the way it taught us life lessons in a way we were able to see, understand, reference and relate to. Television shows like this were guidebooks for parents, good tools to use when having a talk with kids about the death of a family member, friend, or even a pet. Saying things like “remember how Chuckie found that picture of his Mommy, and his Dad showed him all the things she used to have, and the poem she wrote for him?” gets the kid in the right mindset- and now?
Now we’ve got shows based on “randomocity”, slapstick humor without purpose, and full thirty minute slots packed tight with mindless one-liners and lessons in how to catch jellyfish with a net if you live underwater as a yellow sponge.
I’m not saying we didn’t have our set of shows like that, with silly nothingness, but there were so many more shows with valuable lessons than there are today. That’s why shows like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, are receiving such volumes of attention: they are heading in the right direction, brushing subjects that other kid’s cartoons neglect for fear of backlash.

My reaction to this video
Oh god. So sad.
I’m usually against the whole dumb as rocks *90s kid 4 lyf* mentality, but this clip is actually really great

So I guess a recent plot line in Glee involved a rival group trying to take out the gay kid by throwing a slurpee full of rock salt at him in a parking garage but Darren Criss dove in front of him and blocked it and ended up in the hospital with a damaged cornea
And then the gang uses a hidden camera to collect proof that this rival group did it with the guy whose idea it was confessing and everything
And then they decide to not show the proof to anyone and not do anything that matters about the assault and arguable hate crime because they figured they could just beat them at regionals, apparently that’s the same thing as reporting someone to the police
You guys this is an actual show that people get paid actual money to make
