Ads for minors are incredible trash. Basically the point of all tv channels that are for kids is to show ads for toys. Even a lot of shows are themselves nothing else than ads for toys. Let a child watch TV for an hour and the only thing that will happen is that they will come with a huge list of things they want. It's really sad. I watched a lot of TV when I was a child but it wasn't all made for you to buy licensed merchandise.

- kaladin-jasnah 5y agoIt seems like these days PBS Kids is the only kids' network that doesn't have ads and toys and trash like that.

- mixmastamyk 5y agoIt's true, I remember Life cereal commercials, Saturday morning, and later He-Man. Adverts have only gotten more sophisticated. Luckily, I had a parent that mostly said "no," and that was the end of it.
