When I was a teenager TV started to change, and I didn't like it, now as a Mom I like it less. I feel the need to write to these children channels, or perhaps there should just be a new channel with all the good old shows.
I mean honestly who among us doesn't any and a versions of "The Muppets", or "Winnie the Pooh" or "Fraggle Rock", or "Eurika's Castle", or "School House Rock". I could go on and on with all the awesome shows they no longer play but that would be boring.
I'm not asking that they re-make them just simply bring them back, replay them for a new generation. I don't know how many people out there actually watch the kids show that are on theses days, but as I S.A.H.M. I watch quite often and I am not impressed. I won't get into specific shows, but in general, I don't approve of the lessons many teach or the ways they go about it. I also believe many lessons have to be lived not seen on television.
I remember watching shows with my mom and brother that were the same ones she watched with her mother at our age. That is such a strong connection there from a childs point of view, I mean how cool is that! It's like your time traveling with your family, laughing at the same jokes and sharing stories from days gone by.
I would love to sit with my daughter on my lap and say "Mommy used to love this show" and not be watching DVDs IF I were lucky enough to find them.
With all the things going to hell in this world and especially this country, the way children are being raised these days is not helping anything. I am 24 I was spanked, I played outside, I didn't wear a helmet, and hose water was the best water ever! I turned out fine, I have a nice home and a beautiful family. I have a good work ethic and I don't go to pieces when things don't go my way, how much of that can be said about most kids these days?
