They couldn't do that on television

A few minutes… I just can’t do this television..

I watched the Kids Choice awards for a few minutes—enough time—to get a taste of the modern generation.. I’m not going to complain like some old fogey..

Instead I’ll say what annoyed me about these awards is the very things that annoyed me as a kid myself when they were on: the endless and senseless teen girl scream that echoes through the house for the duration of the event. I don’t know if the producers are piping it in or if it’s just how shrill it really is.. But the noise never changes.. Even back to the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. That scream. That mind penetrating scream..

I also thought to myself about the famed green slime tradition. Do kids today even know where that comes from? Do they know YOU CANT DO THAT ON TELEVISION? .. They know Marc Summers from a cooking channel, not Double Dare. They never saluted their shorts.. They never knew how to sing a song for Hey Dude. And they never knew that Dave Cut it out Coulier had an ‘experience’ with Alanis Morissette in a theater but still played Finders Keepers on Nick.

All this nostalgia.
Screaming kids.. But no mind for the history of generations who screamed before them..

As they said, blue skies, Barfy burgers..girls!
