Who cares what parents think? They're not home.

Well, some parents get it. Other do not and feel it is their "right" to watch vulgar shows.

“We’re taking Bugs, a classic, and making him fresh, cool and hip.”

He always was.

Get a load of what they look like:

That whirring noise you hear is the creators of the original characters spinning in their graves.

The children’s network Nogin has a show with a gay relationship.

Who has the gay relationship on Noggin?

We started monitoring the tv, not letting the kids watch Cartoon Network unless Bugs or Scooby was on; watching Nickolodeon with the boys to make sure what was on was okay for them to watch. Well, to got to be such a problem we just got rid of cable all together. We live to far out to get regular channels, so now the boys watch I love Lucy, The Lucy Show, Andy Griffith, Stargate, and Monk mostly. Love the dvd player. Of course, they only get to watch one hour a day, so they have to be choosy. Not a lot to be said for tv programming period.

My 9yo son is very upset that they ruined looney tunes. He loved them just they way they are.

Although I don't agree with the TV content of todays cartoons, the sponge bob incident made hard right conservatives look like thin skined moral agenda pushing zealots.

And we are not thin skined, LIBERALS ARE!!

"Taz" looks like some Mafioso vampire that got caught in a bad transporter accident with Doctor Zoyberg, ending up with lobster claws.

I haven't seen it on yet, but I've banned my 9yr old daughter from watching Brace Face after the Peta episode, I caught that about half through and told her to switch channels. Also there are a bunch of other cartoons I don't let her watch because they are just to stupid (like the 3 Hollywood spie girls who're shopaholics) and any of those damn Dragon Ball Zero and such toons.

Conservatives don't have much to say about SpongeBob. The media is making this thing up. If Robin Williams says conservatives are calling SpongeBob gay, then the media acts as though it's true.

Our kids used to watch Arthur Until they started promoting single parent families and other unusual behavior. My oldest likes Kim Possible but no belly showing is allowed. It's true that the commercials are sometimes more offesive than the shows themself.
