The cartoon shows have changed

Hari, 13, does not want to school. It’s not the bullying; he is taller and heavier than an average guy of his age. And yet, every morning, he wishes his school would blow up, or an earthquake would close all schools for an entire year, or his head master would get a heart attack and drop dead.

Since nothing of the sort happens (which is surprising, because someone looking at the headmaster’s meals would assume that he has an ambulance on the stand-by), Hari goes to school every day.

Thousands of children like Hari do not want to go to schools. It’s all thanks to the stupid cartoon shows that Nickelodeon shows these days. Not only do they take children’s attention away from their studies, they also take away the potential gain the children could have had watching better and classier cartoons.

Nickelodeon has only three daytime shoes that it repeats every week: Ninja Hatori, Perman, and a show about some cockroach. The shows suck.

Once upon a time, Nick was actually a classy channel, and had programs like SpongeBob, Hey Arnold!, Jimmy Neutron, and others, where the characters spoke in English, behaved like real cartoon characters and not puppets for infants, and almost always had a kind of moral at the end of every day.

One fateful day, some genius at Nick India probably realized that they could get away by putting real cheap shows on air, and yet show the same ads, thus significantly increasing their profits, so they looked for the cheapest shows available. They probably found those three, that unsurprisingly also have the worst non-Indian animations, and started airing right away.

My heart bleeds for those poor kids who have to watch the crappy hindi-dubbed cartoon shows in Nickelodeon. They will never know who Jimmy Neutron, or Dexter were. Scooby snacks(cartoon network, but still) will hold little meaning for them.
