Actually seeing adult themes in these shows makes these shows age better. So many kids shows you grow out of by the time you're 10 years old. It's neat to have those kinds of moments you don't quite notice as a kid but care about when you grow older.

@CamaroAmx Жыл бұрын

The flintstones started out as basically a cartoon version of the Honeymooners and was marketed towards adults (which was why it was on prime time). They discovered that more kids were watching it then adults so they cut the cigarette advertising, eased back the more adult storylines, added a few things that would appeal to kids (like pebbles) and turned it into a family show. It actually became even more popular after they did that.

@anakelly76512 Жыл бұрын

I was a teenager when some of these were on so I got the innuendos. However, when I was younger, any adult themes flew right over my head. Even the 80's cartoon that I still watch called "The Smurfs" had some light innuendos. I can't pin point one right now. I know it was from when Papa Smurf turned the Gargamel created Smurfette into a blonde headed beauty. The only woman in a sea of male Smurfs. I'd have to go back and watch some more because the innuendos were few and far between.

@carleakins2153 Жыл бұрын

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe had so many innuendos in it. One of my favorites was: Teela: "Adam, haven't you ever noticed the the difference between men and women?" Adam: " I guess so." Teela: "Well, hooray for that little bit of difference." At which point Prince Adam looks down at his lap and frowns.

There is an episode of Rugrats that I thought was really twisted. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil all talk about abandonment. Each child has a scene where their parents come to their crib and they are hungry. Their bottle is gone but they won't give them either any more milk or not enough. Their clothes are tattered and worn out, the wind is blowing. In Phil and Lil's scene one of the twins either gets more milk than the other or one doesn't get any milk at all. I used to think it was lost media, I haven't watched any episodes but I looked on the Wikipedia and didn't see it. I remember the entire episode being that plot but it could have just been a side plot so it wasn't in the plot description for the show. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I remember it really vividly because I was really sheltered as a child and so the fear of abandonment really freaked me out, I remember seeing it more than once

If you're lucky enough to have heads remember your birthday, you won't get decent gifts from anybody because they blew all their money on candy, costumes, decorations and isht. Maybe they'll hit you off a week or two afterwards, but it's just not the same.

I think strongly disagree that Mariam ruined people's childhood because some of those kids who grew up watching Hey Arnold had parents with alcohol and drug problems or didn't have a great relationship with their parents. My parents loved each other, but it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. It got bad to the point where my father moved out and lived in an apartment. Even when they were apart they tried their best to get back together. But it never happened because my father died of a heart attack in his sleep. It was before I graduated elementary. It could be drugs, alcohol, porn, hell, even sugar along with other things that could lead to a breakup or even someone's death. There are many children that learn this the hard way. Sure tv shows are about escapism and it's definitely no exception for kids. But in shows like Hey Arnold you have to make the characters more relatable and that requires you to "take off the kid's gloves." And that's why Mariam is the best clean version of what alcoholism is for a kids show. If you think I'm wrong then watch Bojack Horseman or Morel Orel. Clay makes Mariam look like a saint in comparison.
