I developed language acquisition by watching cartoons such as Disney animated films, Dexter’s Laboratory, Cow and Chicken, Looney Tunes, and other Saturday morning cartoons when I was a kid.

No, they didn’t. Only TV I was permitted was baseball games occasionally (when my father felt like it). I played outside, in the dirt, built and destroyed stuff, ran around playing makeshift games with friends, and played sports (track and baseball). Didn’t consume much teevee until my 20s. Then quit watching it in my late 30s. It’s called “programming” for a reason. These days, the occasional movie (used, cheap BluRays, won’t pay out the ying-yang for theater prices). Not a single channel/service comes into this house in any way these days. My television exists solely to watch movies on, and I’m finding it a waste of space and a possible source of money as I can play movies on my computer, and also use earbuds if wife isn’t interested in whatever movie I may be watching.

I watched a lot of tv shows as a kid. A lot of them scared me.

What scared me the most was fraggle rock when the fraggles went into the garden and the ‘giant’ people were there

Yeah I did tend toward the TV way too much growing up. I can tell for certain, that’s bad for you.

We weren’t allowed tv except for the news and occasional family night movies. I’ve more than made up for it as an adult now…:roll_eyes:
