Ya know, television for children is moderatley depressing these days. I mean, do you remember comming home from school and watching nova or reading rainbow. Or even the sitcoms I used to enjoy as a kid like perfect strangers were cleaner in language and content then the shows nowdays are. Maybe im an ole fogey (25) but I just remember seeing more actual "content" in shows back then. Not just the fart jokes and distasteful junk in todays "childrens programming". Bleh im just ranting, excuse me, but I sure wish our kids had the same opportunity for innocence we had when they turned on that tv.

I'm eighteen, and I think that. You're not old, trust me.

You mean the days where shows taught good morals, that learning was cool, and it wasn't socially acceptable to go around acting like a complete ass in public? Yeah, those days are long gone.

The only shows still doing that are so blatantly sugar coated its not even funny. They seem to have forgotten that you can be SUBTLE about instilling good morals and a love of life into people without beating it into them.

I HAVE A VENDETTA AGAINST BARNEY. :twisted:

i still like watching kids shows but turning the TV on to the shows kids watch today, they have gone down hill. some are alright but, come on, some of that stuff is crap. what happened to all the good stuff that i watched growing up. i'm not that old (17) but still!! things have took a turn for the worse in children's tv programs

i remember under the umbrella tree. nobody else around here does. im glad other people do too. i watched that and the old disney cartoons and a show with a circus that was people dressed up in costumes and alice in wonderland (real people) alot when i was little

I miss Under the Umbrella Tree. I remember one epsisode where they were tap-dancing, and my dad explained to me why their feet were never shown. Those puppets sure had me fooled!

Iggy was awesome.

the one after school show i miss is not even that old, bill nye the science guy. you just got home from school and you actually wanted to watch this show to LEARN. the experiments where really cool, my fave would have to be the potato battery and the bottle rockets.
