I also tend to watch old shows and I haven t watched anything new in ages.

If you compare the modern stuff with, let s say, My Friend Flipper or Fury (The
Story of a Horse and the Boy who loved Him) you can see there is a lot of focus
on having the kids take responsibility for their actions and becoming a better
version of themselves. "I let Flipper eat all the fish, so I have to man up and
replace all the fish he ate!"
