A gentleman a few years my senior and I were tortured to whatever NBC was calling Saturday morning cartoons. Computer generated animals just kind of rambling on and on about nothing. Not even arriving at a point.We looked at each other, and he said " Give Me Bugs Bunny any day of the week ". It was a great ice breaker and we lamented about the condition of current Saturday morning programming. Being the only ones in the waiting room at the time, we asked for..and got the channel changer.Errolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-60169758841496686272017-11-12T08:32:06.746-08:002017-11-12T08:32:06.746-08:00There were definitely the anti-violence nanny type...There were definitely the anti-violence nanny types well before the 1960s -- the entire opening of Bob McKimson's "A Ham in A Role" was based on the audience already knowing there were people out there in the 1940s loudly complaining about animated cartoons. But as the activist 'responsible children's programming' types became more sophisticated in the 1960s and into the '70s, their ability to force networks and local stations to conform to their beliefs became stronger (and while ACT may not have been at the first wave forefront of the efforts, by the early 70s they had the greatest access to media outlets to proclaim their distaste for how children's programming was being handled and, more importantly, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/23/arts/peggy-charren-childrens-tv-crusader-is-dead-at-86.html" rel="nofollow">used government regulation to make sure their desires became reality</a>).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-17301788103930680542017-11-12T06:25:52.305-08:002017-11-12T06:25:52.305-08:00The great irony is that it's the children of t...The great irony is that it's the children of the "Sesame Street"/"Schoolhouse Rock" generation, brought up on "Care Bears," who are graduating high school unable to add or spell (and are using modern technology to torture each other).Hans Christian Brandonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-90138627215591539512017-11-12T02:53:39.395-08:002017-11-12T02:53:39.395-08:00The Post says "his syndicated program" b...The <i>Post</i> says "his syndicated program" before quoting from the report.
