This is a question Phobias

What gives you the heebie-jeebies?

It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*

Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

That's kinda what I mean.
They were saccharine, utopian characters that are so far removed from anything even close to reality that any child who grew up on that would invariably view the real world with disappointment. There's some basis in fact for this- there have been people who grew to hate their families for not being more like the Brady Bunch.

I by far prefer programming that at least partly reflects the world that kids live in- this was why the cartoon "Doug" was so fantastic, as the main character was a very average, slightly nerdy kid just trying to get through life.

But hey, that's just my take on it...
