It must be a recent thing, too, because I'm 13, and I distinctly remember waking up every morning when I was little and watching "Roly Poly Olie".
If you don't remember that, amybe this will jog your memory: [link]
It may look really stupid, but hat show was fairly intelligent. It taught kids valuable lessons in a language they could understand, but wasn't so stupid to be annoying. Then there was Stanley ([link]) (I could only find it in Spanish, sorry), which was possibly the most educational show of my childhood. I loved it so much.

Now Stanley is gone. And in its place, what are kids from 4 to 8 or so watching? This: [link]

WHAT THE HELL?!

Then there's this, which is slightly more educational, but nowehere near the quality of my childhood programming: [link]
PTERODACTYL IS NOT A FUCKING DINOSAUR! But that aside, kids today get this crap: [link]
And this: [link]
And this: [link]

What are we filling kid's heads with today? Admittedly, I have seen Bunnytown, and it isn't AS horrible. But still... what does this teach? It can be educational and fun! Just look at Stanley! But no... shows today have to either be fun (see Yoko Jakamoko Toto) or educational (see [link]).

</rant no one will care about>

Barnyard is the one that bothers me.
A MALE cow with UDDERS? REALLY?

I know it's sad I never gave a damn about the weather and it never gave a damn about me.

That was a movie, which was actually better. But that's weekend TV. No little kid I know watches that.

I hate today's little kids TV. It used to be fun.

That armadillo has the Triforce on its head. That show is now win.

haha j/k. Speaking of which, THEY GOT RID OF CHRISTOPHER ROBIN. WHAT THE FUCK. (it's not even deserving of the abbreviated WTF.)

While the meek and poor are trampled by the strong,
And the hungry men are fodder for the fat,
We can taste a bright tomorrow, righting all our wrongs,
For we got ourselves a couple silly hats.

I thought he was just the animal version of Michael Jackson. :O Or that Thomas Beatie lady-man-person.

It's a TV show now, too.
I know several little kids that watch it since I live in a farming community, and when I see them with their little lunchboxes and shirts and crap with that poor, confused cow-creature it makes me shudder.

He's not even that dignified. He's just a gigantic mistake no one caught. O.o

Actually Stanley and Rolie Poly Olie is still around where I live but it doesn't broadcast as much as I remember. I do agree that Bunny Town is pointless and whoever made Harry and his bucket full of dinodicks need to revise what is and isn't a dinosaur. :|

Glad Spongie's still around.

It was also a movie. That's what I meant.
Sucks to be that cow.
