Maybe I am too old to see what passes for humor to the kids now a days. Is just me or are is the humor in sketch shows for kids really dumbed down.
For example, the sketch show within the show on Disney Channel So Random. There's a lot of juvenile humor like fart jokes.
Compare that to You Can't Do That On Television, it was brilliant humor that as an adult I got. Most of the time it was better than Saturday Night Live at the time. Sure you had the Barth Burger sketch, which was pretty juvenile.
It seems that kids sketch or variety shows of the last ten or so years really look down on their audience. Also, they don't give them any credit for having any intelligence. You Can' Do That On Television gave the audience credit, even the early seasons of All That gave the audience credit.
I am not one to pretend to be from a superior generation, but I am glad I grew up in the '80s and '90s.
But when did they decide to be so juvenile with humor towards kids? And why?
