Morals are good, but they're not necessary.

Description

This attitude about morals needed to make something good for kids seems to be prevalent among soccer moms, holy-rollers, 90s kids, and fans of MrEnter. But morals aren't always needed. If done the wrong way, morals can become overly preachy or even obnoxious. I don't care what these moo cows think - TVs aren't there to babysit your kids. Overly moralistic garbage will eventually tire the kids out and bore them - they'll want to watch stuff that doesn't teach morals. If you're so paranoid about kids watching stuff with no morals, maybe you shouldn't let them watch TV at all. Same goes for movies and books.

In the end it's the parents who have to teach children morals, not the TV.

Preschool shows do need to have to have good morals since they appeal to a really young audience. But, cartoons made for older kids don't always have to teach kids morals. And, Ed, Edd n' Eddy and The Loud House are good examples of this.


Sure, they might have some morals thrown in them. But, they are purely meant for entertainment and neither of them are meant to teach kids anything. And, some cartoons like Looney Tunes, The Flinstones and, The Ren and Stimpy Show for example have educational value thrown out the window.


As far as cartoons and shows or older kids go, I do agree with this statement. And as for adult cartoons and other live action shows, I also agree with this. But, I do disagree with this for preschool shows. But the thing is, I don't really watch much of any preschool shows unless if I want to relive my early childhood. Some shows don't need to be made to educate good morals. They can just be great to watch and as long as a cartoon is great to watch and makes you laugh or makes you have a smile on your face. Then, it's all cool and good. There's a lot more to this than what people realize.
