Did any one know?
Bugs Bunny was aimed for adults back in the 40'
now they claim it's a kids show.
Mickey Mouse was another show aimed for adults.
same problem.
Jim Henson's Muppets aimed at the whole family
but same problem.
It seems over and over that our shows, that we grow up with have been cursed with the lable. Kiddie Show. I Am 40 yrs old and still love, and continue
to love the Muppets no mater what.

Another one that I can think of off the top of my head is the Flintstones. Originally airing in primetime for family viewing and then being moved to Saturday mornings for the kiddies.
