One of my relatives had an absolute saga on their social media page about how their son would suddenly start doing naughty/ deliberately annoying shit after the 1/2 hour in the afternoon she plunked him in front of the TV so she could get stuff done. Specifically, how unbelievably whiny he became.
It was "like a switch". Always. No TV time, no suddenly bad kid. They had no problem dealing with it but couldn't understand why it happened because dad had locked out everything that wasn't Y7/G-rated, absolutely ironclad.
This went on for a MONTH before I convinced her that many post-2000 "kids shows" are in fact complete garbage, and suggested she peek in on him. Soon after that, she messaged me asking how to block one more show.
Inexplicable bad behavior has ceased. And judging from multiple parent-review sites, she's far from the only mother that this has happened to.
EDIT: Holy flaming crap on toast, this blew up like the Death Star!
Keep calm, show your kids Looney Tunes, and to hell with "outdated cultural references".
