Why, in my day, I remember when we could expect five year olds to be able to watch these with comprehension, without some jerk on the soundtrack pointing out “BLAM! He got hit in the head with an anvil!” It’s not as if these things were ever intellectually subtle, you know.
Surely there’s something on kid’s TV right now that’s as intellectually appealing as The Animaniacs or Captain Planet, right?

OR IS IT BLAM!FEST!?
So let me get this straight: You have a problem with good old fashioned slap stick comedy? Everything on TV doesn’t have to have an agenda ala environmental education or pop culture comedy. Nothing is wrong with old fashioned entertainment for the sake of entertainment.
No, he has a problem w/ the stupid narration explaining what should be obvious to any 5 year old. The narration was not part of the original airings.

What the fuck. This is satire right. Please tell me it is satire. I never thought it would be possible to so thoroughly rape a perfectly fine Donald Duck episode.

What the fuck? I mean I never liked any Disney series, but what the fuck?
If I hear “BLAM!” one more time I’m going to kill someone.
