Petition for TMS Season 5 to be reaired on Disney

[frogboy4]

The question is if Disney or anyone can cultivate a audience of jaded kids that are so used to junk food television? I'm sure it's possible, but I don't think any company sees incentive in working that hard when they can just create another sure-fire kid-pop brand.

Well, even back in the day our generation had Kids Inc. on Disney Channel and we weren't too jaded to like the classic shows because of it :\
I guess that is why I still have hope

 

[Teheheman]

The thing is, every generation has that kind of pop band, so you can't stop it. My parents generation had the Monkees, ours had NSYNC, this one has The Jonas Brothers, and the next one will have like 4 year olds singing and making really bad jokes with a laugh track at the end of just about every one making it seem like it's a funny fricken show when it's just stupid.

I didn't mean hope that those bands would ever stop, I just meant hope that if little ones actually saw the classic things more often they could grow to like them like we did...

I think one of the biggest things is that, like the Mokey plushie, older things like the muppets (even the newer 80's-90's movies) aren't even given a chance to be seen before they are stuffed in a drawer somewhere :\.

Of course there are we muppet fans with all things muppety that share them with everyone we know but I feel sorry for those that have nothing but whatever tv decides to show

Yeah, I mean, it's not like the acting on any of these shows are any good anyways. I've seen better acting staring at my dead goldfish. Just put an episode on at least once between Hannah Montana and Jonas

I'm just sayin, much as I hate these shows, they do have a right to exist, be popular, and make money. They do not have the right to pollute the network, pollute the minds of executives of other networks, or have the Wal*Mart factor... you know, when something becomes so big, it's impossible to compete. An hour of each program a day is fine and dandy...one episode in the afternoon, one in prime time and all that. Not all day except for the preschool 3 hour market.

I wouldn't even call it Junk Food television. In fact, I'd refer to it as... well, if you look at the food stuff they promote... sugar coated granola bars, sugar flavored yogurts... they're more like Junk Food disguised as health Food disguised as junk food programs... mindless little diversions slapped with a fake forced morals to get an undeserved TV E/I rating so parents think it's good for their kids to watch. Frankly, I heard better morals in South Park...

The thing is, every generation has that kind of pop band, so you can't stop it. My parents generation had the Monkees, ours had NSYNC, this one has The Jonas Brothers, and the next one will have like 4 year olds singing and making really bad jokes with a laugh track at the end of just about every one making it seem like it's a funny fricken show when it's just stupid.

Every generation will have a stupid and annoying fad to it. Though, frankly the Monkees were quite fun.... I especially like Mickey when he does voice over roles... anyway... There will always be this kind of crap. The problem is, back in the older days, even with the prerequisite clones they still had alternatives that ran along side them. Even 15 years back when Saban brought Power Rangers to the rest of the world... Saban did its best to copy it with Beetlborgs, Kamen Rider (a really bad Americanized Kamen Rider- oh and KR existed long before the earliest PR show), VR Troopers and Samurai Pizza Cats (which they actually got the rights to dubbing long before they got the rights to PR, but it didn't get to air until 96)... there were like 2 syndicated copies... Superhuman Cyber Samurai Squad, and an Ultraman they made clearly to cash in off of PR, dispite the fact Ultraman predates it. Even when Hanna Barbera and Filmation did the teenagers singing random songs and solving mysteries Archies clones, they still made other shows. But in this case, it's all they want to do. I don't hate them for their bad singing, bad acting, undeserved popularity et al... I hate them for the lack of variety, and forcing other networks to conform.
