Kids TV shows feed bad behaviour and lack of respect

[kinkytoes]

Does anyone else agree?

Mostly the US cartoons I'm seeing at the moment which seem to have a gang of kids basically showing disrespect teach other and their elders, being vulgar and talking shit.

I'm sure there are others, but these seem to appeal to my dd who has an attitude the size of a bus.

And the kids unfortunately have the option to watch it on loop, just to really hone their skills.

When I was a kid we watched the Raccoons and Dogtanian. I don't remember anything like what they have now.

Thought experiment:

If Bad TV can turn a good kid into a bad kid...
Does good TV turn a bad kid into a good kid?
Or is it far more likely that real world influences shape children far more than any TV show ever could?

I remember being banned from watching Tracey Beaker by my mum as she didn't like my "attitude" after watching it. I thought it was a great show! 🤣

Teen titans was top of my banned list. So obnoxious.

I found recently that you can watch the raccoons on Roku. Loved that cartoon as a kid😍

I always thought Peppa was a bossy so and so.

Agree. Sarcasm/cynicism is very much the default interaction in lots of kids' programmes. It can be really funny but when that type of humour is relentless, kids are going to pick up on the attitude.

Completely off topic (which I agree with btw) but I loved the Raccoons and actually mentioned it to DH the other day and told him about the weird looking character with the long pink nose and he said I was making it up!

Anyone remember 80 days around the world? I loved the theme tune

George Pig seemed like a terrible influence too, not just Peppa. Always yelling "no" and crying every time he didn't get his own way.

Used to love Dogtanian and Racoons, but couldn't tell you what moral message I took from them.

thanks
never seen the pokemon stuff vut seen the Marvel stuff, pretty violent from the bit's i have seen but the kids know who is good and who is evil and that works IMO.
Enjoy the rest of the day!!

The rest is up to the parents.
😳
Surprise!

Parent your children.

@SprigatitoYouAndIKnow surely the moral message of Dogtanian is 'One for all and all for one!'

That and 'Muskerhounds are always ready'

iCarly - I'd blocked it out, and the Thundermans. Both were banned here. God they were awful.

😀

I don’t like the sassy TV shows either. Turn 8/9 year olds into would-be 14 year olds.

YouTube is far far worse though.

Oh I had forgotten how good this song was! And now I'm finding loads of different versions on iTunes!

Glad to have rekindled the love for Raccoons and Dogtanian! I'm defo going to look them up again myself (I missed a LOT of episodes as a kid) 😁

Me either 🫤

Me and my brother weren’t allowed to watch Grange Hill.

This is why I like Bluey, the parents tell the little ones off for bad behaviour in it

I was allowed to watch Grange Hill but my memory is that it was expected that they respected the teachers, some of the teachers (Mr Bronson) were properly scary, and it was clear the program thought some of the kids were badly behaved.

There's all the idiocy of youtube now as well but perhaps you banned that already?

Pepper Pig is a complete bratty arsehole and dont get me started on Bing.

Currently pregnant with my 3rd and my current youngest child has already decided to ban his new sibling from watching Peppa Pig. I’m on his side with this, she’s an odious little fanny. In turn, I had to ban horrid Henry for a while for similar reasons.

Give me scooby doo, rugrats and duck-tales any day.
