Title: children's shows that have underlying tones to them
Post by: 6M69I69B9 on January 05, 2014, 06:10:41 PM
The episode Chocolate Boy from Hey Arnold! is one of my favorite episodes.  it's not too long.   a number episodes from this show have children's themes being the veil for real-life problems- chocolate boy is one of them, and i think the real-life problem shown will be obvious.  the characters are great.  this is pretty much my favorite nickelodeon cartoon- hands down.

well yeah but when i was a kid i didn't recognize it that much and just took them as just cartoons with a plot.  i wouldn't associate it with adult problems or even any of my own sometimes. 

so when i started watching episodes again out of boredom, i just started seeing things differently and loved this show even more

yeah, even in retrospect, Hey Arnold is was one show that was always really well-done and just good overall.

Is this Social Commentary on how Republicans increase the standards to receive welfare payments but instead of becoming slaves to less and less do$h whilst the requirements go up, they finally break free from the oppression Democrats have put on them by changing their ways and become Real people?
