You think Nickelodeon is bad? have you seen half the stuff on Treehouse??

their motto is, "Try it, you'll like it!"

Most shameless drug pushers I've ever seen.

Another show like that is iCarly, which if I'm not mistaking, has the same brat actor. On that show, every teacher is shown as mean, unfair, and insane, same goes for Drake and Josh. All adult figures are shown as easily manipulated fools. And the three main characters are all brats, that are somehow "cool"
Look at Drake and Josh, and iCarly, in any of them, is there an adult figure that is not unfair/portrayed as insane?

Ok I get to the point here. I'm watching a kid and he love the show Dreak and Josh. Fine what ever put it on if it will keep you from screaming.

Anyway as I was watching this. It amazed me that we have gotten to a point where shows have no moral. The sister a brat that need a belt to the back side long enough to turn it red. The parents are shown as both being moron who are easy to manipulate. The singer brother worthless. The one person who has anhy vaule the fat one.

Hard working, Holding a job, and being good in school. Is somehow the clown. So we are teaching them that if you are someone who is worth two cents your an idiot. If your lazy you will get everything. If you wrong other you will never get caught.

Arn't these the same parent who rip apart video games all the time. Yet these are the shows they let there demon spawn watch.

Thanks for reading I needed to get that out of my system.

Its the same in schools. If you pass and study, you are an outcast. If you are a failure, do drugs, and act like a jackass you are cool.


why does TV suck now?

A scientific study should be done in this area. Does children's television affect children if there are morals (well thought out morals, mind you) involved? Does TV fluff, especially featuring self-entitled brats, affect a child's perception of the world?

iCarly. More like, iBitch. iBitchAlot.

Admitedly I've watched a few episodes, and I found them twistedly funny. Honestly those two would have no show without that hellspawn of a sister.

Anyway, I agree. I remember when shows for kids used to HAVE MESSAGES. Be a good person and you will have a better life. Now... If it isn't pointless, the show seems to say that being bad will get you farther in life than being good, kind, and caring. But I am a Sith Lord, so what do I know about any of those things... And TV is no substitute for parenting, but Good TV can augment good parenting, supplement bad parenting, or just teach societal Mores to kids who don't know them. Just my Sociological and Psychological opinion. Neither of which I major in...
Well, not all shows did. There were plenty that didn't. It's not a generation thing - this kind of TV programming has been around as long as the TV ...

I am a Psychology major, Sociology minor. Problem is if children don't understand the concept of "suspension of belief" when viewing electronic media. It's our job as parents to remind kids that shows, cartoons, video games, etc. are not real life. They can reflect real life situations or morals, but mostly, they are just for fun.

Don't ask me why I'm working on computers instead of actively using my degree. The money in being a Sys Admin is better than trying to be a counselor or something equally ignored, though, and I'm good at it.

When looking at this kind of show, compare it to Dr Phil and Oprah. Can't forget the soapies either.

And people wonder why I don't miss television.

People ask me that all the time too...

Honestly, Television was never a big thing for me, but I just look at today and wonder what the hell happened. It was bad enough with the soap operas, which are still on by the way, now stupid reality TV shows flood the networks.

This is the reason I just buy TV show box sets instead of watching TV. I'll pay a little more if I can substitute quality for quantity

Yeah, I hate Drake and Josh too. Mainly because the show just seems stupid and that kid is a *****, I'm not sure if you're supposed to like her or not. I hate what TV has become :(

The only things I did that you mentioned were take drugs and pass my exams :p
Didnt study, not a failure and dont act like a jackass (well, most of the time anyway).
