@freemo What about #Nickelodeon? #Nickelodeon and the #DisneyChannel made very similar types of shows around the same time and #DanSchneider, a known sex pest and abuser, was a showrunner for many of their programs.

Wouldn't surprise me if Nickelodean had one... can you think of one though? I cant.

@freemo Not off the top of my head, no. I never grew up watching any of that content (except for #ThatsSoRaven, which my parents banned me from watching after a few episodes)

@realcaseyrollins Oh wow your parents sound crazy strict if they are banning something like ThatsSoRaven.... What was their logic on that?

realcaseyrollins, 5 months ago

@freemo Haha IDK…probably that the kids were being disrespectful to their parents. I’ve heard that was (and still is) a big problem in those shows, and why many parents at the time had problems with #DisneyChannel sitcoms, although nowadays you’re more likely to hear complaints along ideological lines.

Yea I can see that actually, not that I would ban the show and stop my kids from watching it. I think a common theme was kids disobeying their parents, but they usually got caught, got in trouble, and learned the error of their ways.

@freemo Interesting. I’m not sure how much of that “disobedient kids are cool” narrative applied to #ThatsSoRaven specifically, I was pretty young when it aired so all I remember was looking forward to the next episodes. I can’t even remember why I liked it lol

@realcaseyrollins @freemo who says disobedience is an error

my family taught me that people with authority over you hate you and everything they teach you should be discarded :neocat_floof_mug:
