The writing and quirkiness of the characters is brilliant. Even the parts aimed more at adults that the kids don't 'get' are still funny to them by way of expression and delivery. So enter Regular Show: the characters are all entertaining and the unique brand of humor makes it a hit with kids and adults. They just want to laugh at silly stuff, and as kids that's what they should be doing!

It doesn't mean that the kids who watch these kinds of shows are going to become more crude and obnoxious as a result. Ed, Edd, n Eddy is a favorite of my kids for these reasons. It's a fact that gross stuff, outrageous animation (like huge eyeballs and squashed heads), injurious antics, and indulgent silliness is just funny to most kids. And honestly it would just be weird if my 7-8 year old boy was into The Wonder Pets. shows, and he enjoyed programming that was simply entertaining.

He had outgrown the purely educational and innocent Nick Jr. When my boy got to be around 6, I realized that his taste for what is funny changed-you know, to that of a normal 6-year-old boy. They weren't watching Spongebob or the Cartoon Network stuff when other kids their age were. I actually have been one of those mothers disheartened by the lack of innocence in modern children's programming, and as a conservative parent restricted a lot of what my kids watched when they were younger.
