It has occured to me what an attrocious indecency is being committed againt the kids of today.
It started with Barney and Power Rangers. It continued with the Telletubies, and other abominations of mankind.
While Im not asking for the magical programming I grew up with(80's era Sesame, Fraggle Rock, Muppet Babies, etc), there are just some children's shows that no self respecting mamal could indulge onto their offspring:
*The Wiggles: Holy *I cant even think of a word* I saw a promo clip for the upcoming 'Wiggles Movie', and I just wanted to see a therapist or hide. Think of Telemundo Spanish television kids shows at 3 in the morning meets the feeling from just serving some hardtime in the penetentary.
*Veggie Tales: Hey, I have nothing against dogmatic indoctrinated Community College level CGI talking vegetable cartoons...but my goodness...has the world gone so down the pot that parents feel the need to coddle their kids with such abhorently petrid garbage?
Why do so many kid's shows have to be insulting to one's intelligence? Even the very minimalist Blue's CLues has some value to it. I think Nick Jr. for the most part has had their act together there(Ok, so they dont have the Muppet Babies/Muppet Show/Andy and Randy Muppet morning blocks they used to, but hey) Thank goodness Sesame is still around. Yeah, we can argue all day about the merits of 'Elmo's World', but at least its the Muppets. These other abominations should only be shown to captured terrorist figters in Guantanamo Bay Cuba POW camps, and even that would be cruel and unusual punishment.
