Should they be broadcast to a new generation of children? No.

I strongly disagree with that. What should they be watching? Powerpuff Girls? Nickelodeon? Scooby? You get the point. :mad:

Yes.


Nickelodeon?

As far as I know, there is no cartoon called 'Nickelodeon'. However, there is a NETWORK called Nickelodeon, which broadcasts a cartoon called 'Invader Zim', which is fun fun fun for all ages.


Scooby?

No. I believe that the youth of today should adopt a 'Scooby-free' policy.

Yes.
If people watch too much of that stuff when they are young, it would be harder to get into the "good" cartoons later.

Did I specify that it was a cartoon?

Oh, I don't think so, necessarily. PPG is really a different style of humor and a different style of animation from classic American cartoons. I myself grew up on a diet consisting largely of awful toy tie-in commercial cartoons (G.I. Joe, anyone?), but I still managed to find the good stuff without any trouble.

Naw, you didn't. I was just being a wiseapple. :bosko:
