They focus on the violence and the bad deeds rather than the comeuppance and morality part.<br /><br />As has been said, I think it's important that we watch with our kids to explain stuff to them and that's not going to happen if a kid is allowed to watch the same thing on repeat over and over Joanna Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944673677004607976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4292419876225917604.post-25709159019751969122010-03-03T09:33:23.625-08:002010-03-03T09:33:23.625-08:00Um, yeah.

We live in a society where nobody takes responsibility for anything, including parents taking responsibility for their kids. Did you know it's hard to even find the Loony Toons collection in it's original form anymore? They altered a bunch of the racist ones.

They don’t reinforce the ‘family first’ mentality that I think all people should be taught. They don’t teach about peer pressure, gangs, the laws, how to communicate with parents.

You see it all the time with kids that are over sheltered. We are seeing it over and over again with our 20 something kids friends. And the parents just scratch their heads.

Obviously you dont want your 3 y/o watching Jersey Shore or Skinimax. <br /><br />As for the older kids, if they do watch those shows - and they will even if it's not at home - it's the parents job to teach them whats appropriate behavior and whats not.
