I see the kind of cartoons my kids watch now. Everything has a lesson. What happened to the mindless violence of 'Tom and Jerry' and how did Wile-E-Coyote afford all those ACME products. Those type of cartoons allowed for you to stop thinking about the real world.
I admit the cartoons of my time have no place in modern society. Parents today do rely on the TV to baby-sit their kids. I make sure my kids know that what happens on TV is not real most of the time. Even if it says reality TV. There ia a lot of editting that happens before the final version is shown.
Cartoons of the past were unreal and fun. They were a way to escape. What is wrong with escaping at the age of five or thirty-five. There are very few shows that allow for you to shut your brain off.
I will never admit to my daughter that I like 'Sponge Bob Squarepants' and 'Adventure Time' but I am loyal to Bugs and Daffy so I have to tell her that I do not like the new shows.
