Abstract
Children shows are very different from the 90’s and even if they are for a more mature audience they do have similar meanings. Cartoon Network has a symbolism of imagination even now though the shows are based more on story then the underlying message. Nickelodeon is geared more towards social acceptance and learning to deal with everyday life. Finally Disney has always been about family and learning. Through these popular children stations our children learn and grow but are they a bad influence or just misunderstood?
Children Shows from the 90's to Now what do they mean?
Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and the Disney channels have programs that can have a positive or negative effect on our children’s morals. Most of the shows on these channels have the same moral lessons but each channel has its own type of moral lessons to teach. From the 1990’s to now shows for children have changed. Many of these shows now have a lot of violence in them but old shows like the Acme hour have been censored to protect our children from the same violence that is displayed in newer shows. What can we, as parents, do to protect our children from the violence but still teach them the good moral lessons then need to know?
Cartoon Network is a very popular children station to watch cartoons and have fun. Some shows that used to be on this station in the 1990s are Dexter’s Laboratory and the Loony tunes. These shows were there to show you how to laugh and use your brain at the same time. Take Dexter’s Lab for example no one ever questioned where his lab was in the small house to children it just was. They also learned many things about science and how fun it is. The Loony tunes were all about imagination and how the good guy always wins. For example Buggs bunny and Daffy duck always fought but Buggs always won. Wile E Coyote and the roadrunner are another good
