I was watching the tv sitcom Mork and Mindy in honor of the death of Robin Williams when I had this occur to me. Why don't we have anymore shows like this and for that matter cartoons like the cartoons I grew up watching. I remember growing up and watching the Brady Bunch to 21 Jumpstreet because of the themes behind them. I also remember getting up early for the Saturday morning cartoons. I remember watching X-Men and wondering why people would treat other people differently because they weren't normal or watching the Flintstones or the Jetsons and laughing at the funny scenarios they got themselves into.
I then look at the cartoons that are being made now and wonder where they get the ideas for these shows now. Some of the cartoons just don't make any sense to me. Maybe it's just because I'm not up with the times and that is what considered entertainment now. I guess have cartoons that teach values and lessons are just really nonexistant anymore. I guess what they say is true that violence sells. I just feel that the generation now is missing out on some really good cartoons and tv shows that could teach them good morales and how to be a good person.
I can just hope that this generation will hopefully at some point be able to find these gems that I grew up with enjoy them as much as I did.
