LOL! That’s exactly what my parents said! That it set a bad example for kids, because it made the kid look smarter than the parents…like he knew more than they did.
So that was yet another show I was never able to watch…

Could be. Just look at how incredibly tame the first few seasons of the Simpsons are, yet parents were outraged at the bad example it was setting for their kids.

I can see how that could happen, toast…idiots imitating idiots…monkey see, monkey do…

CK..The Flintstones?? What did they ever do to corrupt society? lol. Same goes for the Beatles, actually….although back in those days a lot of parents thought they were “out there”. They’d be considered tame by today’s standards.

Perhaps Beavis and Butthead will be considered a preschooler’s show 20 years from now…lol

Yes, but the show resulted in a good chunk of my high school peers to be even more idiotic than they already were!

I’ve never seen Beavis and Butthead…my parents wouldn’t let me watch it because they said it was vulgar and immoral. But I think it’s art imitating life….any time someone conceives of a TV show or movie, they get some of their ideas from what they observe in the world around them…
