I remember I used to watch Reading Rainbow. That show rocked. And Mr. Rogers wasn't that bad either. But stuff like Barney and Teletubbies: 
Proof this generation sucks.

I concur, Reading Rainbow was the cream of the crop, along with The Muppets.
I knew Mr. Rogers was a troublemaker.

I watched Mr. Rogers as a kid and not because he made me feel special, but because he reminded me of my grandpa.

Whatever its fault, no generation can touch the Baby Boomers (the lamest generation) in terms of self-indulgence, irresponsibility, and damage done to the world.

I was all for the tiny model of the neighborhood. Especially when Mr. Roger's would visit other places and the model would illustrate the travel between home and place.

It depends on the specific issue, but you can tell by the context that the man was speaking of those things that are specific to socialism.

Being an "egotistical brat" has nothing to do with politics, but turning a non-political issue into one and then claiming your side is superior might just make you an egotistical brat

Duly noted. I've said it before and I'll say it again, kids' programming is dead (mentally). Nowadays, it's all visuals and product placement; God forbid actual content!
Funny you should mention Barney, actually. If ever there was a show to corrupt kids... I was channel-surfing a few years back and stumbled upon Barney saying: "A grandma and a nanny are the same thing!"
Never forgot that, probably never will.

I used to call my grandmother nanny. It's not as bad as you think.

Here's more proof. And possibly much more corrupting than Mr. Rodgers.

Ugh, that 'Sweet Sixteen' programme is, without a doubt, the worst television around at the moment. Including Big Brother. I watched it once, and the focus was on a girl who talked endlessly about the need to feel like a celebrity, and at the end was given a car, or something, and said she already had seven cars. (That last bit may not be true as I was stabbing my eyes out with a fork at that point, and wasn't really paying attention.)
D'oh!
