When I was growing up I remember watching shows on Nickelodeon like “All That” and “Kenan and Kel” and “The Amanda Show”. All of these shows were comedy shows…very funny and still appropriate for kids. Recently, I have watched a few of the skits from these shows and I still think is funny. There are not any shows for kids like this anymore. Now kids are watching shows about high school students. Although Disney Channel shows are usually very appropriate and do not contain sexual connotations in the episodes, they are still about the lives of high school students. A lot of the kids watching these shows are younger than high school, usually late elementary and middle school. I loved growing up on the shows I grew up on, shows that did not tell me how to dress of make me want to be someone else. Where did these shows go? The shows that solely provided entertainment instead of affecting media directed towards teens. I think kids should learn to grow up on their own without being changed by the media but I do not really think that is possible. There is not a way for kids to get away from media influence, it is everywhere…unfortunately.
