Re-Living Our Childhood

No longer does he want to watch PBS Kids Sprout or Noggin.

It's all Tom & Jerry, The Flinstones and Pink Panther for him.

(Pink Panther had me rolling the other day, by the way).

H1 and I want to ween him off these violent shows because he's just too young to understand that when someone gets flattened by a rock, they don't just pop back up as H1 pointed out (not that, he could have the strength to pick up a boulder but he does have the strength to start stoning people).
We watched these things when we were kids and turned out alright (heh) but we just can't take that chance.
While it makes me a bit happy he's watching the good stuff (although we all hated Tom & Jerry and didn't really care for the Flinstones - why won't he watch Top Cat?!), he's better off reading the red and green books.

Unfortunately, he's had a taste of vintage cartoons and cannot go back.

I can't wait for the day when I can introduce him to Looney Toons.
