Have you actually turned on a kids channel during the day to watch the kind of crap tv networks are showing? I remember when there were actual live action sit coms, good ones, on kids networks, but man, now they have shows that are basically just gibberish for half an hour with commercials every five to ten minutes. Blarg, but that's just my opinion...

totally agree man +rep.

When we were kids, I remember so many shows actually being entertaining. You turn on the TV now for kids, it's all product placement and laugh tracks. I mean, not only are we telling kids what is funny (check out any disney channel show), but we are also shaping them to become mass consumers (it's pretty gross).
