Not For Kids

               Any one today would say that the most popular cartoons today are not really for kids to watch. These shows there are out today do have some content that are not suitable for children. Shows like Family guy, Cleveland Show, American Dad, South Park are not like the old shows that used to come on television. They have incidences that are more adult oriented and references that kids would not understand.  These shows do have a parental supervision warning before they air on television, which pretty much says, this is for adults. Yet somehow these shows are most popular with those exact kids that they are not aimed towards. Then the parents blame the creators for making a show of this caliber. That problem was mentioned in one family guy episode. It pretty mush said that they are the one to blame for what their kids watch. That leads to another issue. The way these cartoons are and the things that do go on in them seem to be the way shows in general seem to be going. They get away with a lot of things that would have gotten them in whole lot of trouble just a couple of years ago. It just shows how things are changing.
