]]> Comment on RIP Saturday Morning Cartoons by John http://keithkarabin.com/2011/05/26/rip-saturday-morning-cartoons/comment-page-1/#comment-3332 John Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:11:02 +0000 http://keithkarabin.com/?p=857#comment-3332 Like the above posts, and the author of this website (Keith), I'm worried about the coming generation of youth. It seems anymore, that they are devoid of any humor, or innocence. The days of Saturday Morning cartoons, and kids shows were not just a time for kids to relax and unwind from school and chores, but a time for them to use their imaginations and to be part of a generational collective, wherein kids would talk about what they each had watched, and shared it with their friends around the neighborhood or at school. In some ways you could make a case that those shows helped to give several generations of youngsters a common bond with one another, a bond, if you will, that gave many a kid, a sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves. This probably also explains why their was such a jump in kids joining gangs or committing crimes as well. Having children of my own, I now see how the lack of a sense of humor for this newer generation, has become a cauldron for other youth-related issues, like kids attempting in some cases, or being forced in other ways, to grow up too fast. Since the end of Saturday mornings cartoons and kids shows, back in the late 80's and early 90's, kids were subsequently left to watch shows like Jerry Springer, Sally Jesse Raphael, Montel Williams, Ricki Lake, Tyra Banks, and other talk shows, which brought an unfortunate sense of depravity to their generation, by telling kids it's okay to have sex, get pregnant at 13, or be a teenage pimp. Then when you add in cop killer rap music, kids were then sent more messages like, joining gangs is good, shooting and killing the law enforcement officers is okay. Sadly, the affects of the three big networks dropping Saturday morning cartoons and kids shows, has possibly left irreversible damage to our nation's youth. I say we should all demand that the Big 4 Networks start carrying family friendly cartoons and kids shows on Saturdays again. Maybe if we do that, and those networks follow through, we may well keep future generations of kids from ruining their lives from violence, peer pressure, gangs, teen pregnancy, smoking, and drugs.
