Si Unyil and Today's TV Shows

It’s great to see this afternoon Kick Andy’s rerun. In that show, Andy invites some of the great puppeteers from the 80’s and 90’s. These guys (and girls) brought a meaning in educating children through television shows.

With all of today’s crime, sex, and violence in television content, let us take a deep breath and go back what would it feel like back then in the 80’s. There was this kid Unyil, he’s just like you and me, he goes to school, he has adventures with his friend, you know, day-to-day life. He got his own show back then. A puppet show. The show that every single kid who got TV was eager and can’t wait to see. Okay, he is a puppet. Lame, if you see it nowadays. But back then, that show was a cultural phenomenon.  That show teaches us wonderful things, from moral issues, health, education and everything else.

I lived in those glory days of positive televisions. Yes, it kind of sucks where you can only watch one channel back then (TVRI). But, the good side is, they filtered what they want to broadcast, so in a way they provide a couple of quality shoe in term of content.

Ah, I’m tired of comparing it to these days TV show. Somehow, I blame them in expanding violence, moral, and all that family problems.

Call me conservative, I don’t care. But TV Stations please give today’s kids good educating shows that were you know... meant something good for them in a long run. Please guys, I beg you, there is other goal other than ratings you know, like educate your frickin nation for example?
