Has the Cast of Spongue Bob Square Pants lost their manners?

Posted by admin  Published in LOST FAQ

My son has watched Spongue Bob since he was one. He especially likes the theme song and he like ocean life stuff. He is two now I continued to let him watch it up until a couple of weeks ago. It just amazes me how this stuff has a rating for kids. Even if it’s Y7 or whatever. Couple of weeks ago, there was an elderly guy fish on the show crossing the road, and a bunch of other fishes ran by and beat the crap or should I say fins off this poor little elderly guy fish. Another show I was watching when my son was alseep, pertained to Spongue Bob being bullied by a guy at driving school(I think) any way Spongue Bob ran outside to the Bully’s daddy’s car and begged for help. Make long story short, when the bully got out to the car, he started threatening his OWN FATHER! And then the father said "now look what’s going to happen, when I get home my son is going to beat me up". This makes me sick. I know its only a cartoon but what the heck are we teaching our kids? Needless to say we no…
watch the show. My children’s minds are too precious to me for them to be exposed to a possibly hazardous cartoon. What is the world coming to when you cant even put it on the Nickalodeon channel. Whats your feelings on this?

I agree that some children’s shows go too far. But you have the power as the parent to turn the TV off or change the channel. I personally never liked Sponge Bob and don’t allow my four-year-old son to watch it, as it never proved to have any redeeming educational qualities.

It’s disgusting what some marketing companies say what shows are made for kids. If the shows bother you, just turn the TV off and read a book or play a game. Anything but watch TV.

I stopped letting my kids watch sponge bob a long time ago…it’s says words like stupid, and dumb and I don’t let my children talk like that in that show there is someone constantally being put down, so I just don’t let them watch it anymore there are a lot of shows that would be better suited for children…

I agree wtih "I dont feel this old" – I grew up watching far worse cartoons – Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, etc…. I truly feel that cartoons alone do not make for a bad kid and bad behavior. If you’re not comfortable with the context of a show, just don’t watch it. But honestly I think its harmless. My kids are 7, 5 and 4 and have watched those same episodes you mention and they are aware its just a cartoon, not reality. I haven’t had any behavioral issues as a result of Spongebob. I don’t know, just my two cents!

Even though there were a lot of things blown up in the Looney Toons and older cartoons, they didn’t promote being a bully or disrespectful to parents, they were more of situations between animals that people wouldn’t be in. You can’t be too careful these days with what you allow your children to watch. I know when my daughter was younger and like to watched Lizzie McGuire, I noticed how disrespectful the girl was to her parents, always rolling her eyes, and the story lines made the parents look like idiots. I explained to my daughter that this kind of behavior was unacceptable, and that she is not to repeat that kind of attitude. You have to talk to your children and let them know that everything they see on TV isn’t always what’s acceptable.

As an adult…I see the humor in it…I have a 6yr old and I let her watch Spongebob at times. I’ve noticed the things you’ve pointed out too….When they’re young their brains are like a sponge soaking all that stuff in and it is a little scary to wonder how they are processing that information…mine watches more PBS and Noggin lately. Can’t beat the programs on there…Noggin during the day is perfect for toddlers :o )

I know that the cartoons I grew up on weren’t always flowers and butterflies…Bugs was always arguing with Daffy about weather it was rabbit or duck season all the while confusing poor Elmer who just wanted to shoot something…lol.
I think we as parents just have to work a little harder these days to keep our children innocent.

i have 2 boys and they loooove spongebob the death!! yeah that can be unapporiate for kids to see but you have to let them know the difference between right and wrong and if they know that then they will be fine. spongebob is probably the best cartoon out there for kids. my son seen the same episodes and he dont threaten his dad or try to beat him up because hes knows its a cartoon, its not real, and he knows right from wrong.

my 2 year old daughter loves spongebob too… and i see your point.. however i talk to her when things are wrong so she knows the difference… i try to limit all exposer to tv.. so she knows this is entertainment and not real and not real life. this is just for funny time.

I don't feel this old! said in March 1st, 2010 at 5:39 am

I watched worse when I was younger. Bugs bunny, blow up your neighbors. Yosemite Sam, shoot your neighbors. Violence in cartoon form has been around since the middle ages or even before (they just had puppets and more adult humor…)

I absolutely detest Spongebob for the same reasons you listed- it’s crude garbage. My 3 year old has never been allowed to watch that trashy show.
