You benefited from strong regulations which covered television programming, and even stronger regulations about those aimed at kids. If NBC had broadcast scams in He-Man or Scooby Doo rather than the weekly moral messages they'd have been off air faster than you could blink. Regulation barely exists any more, except mainly to defend copyright owners.
