That’s true!

@asperman1  
I think a better name would be Engine Killer or Steam Train Killer.

@Dec Browne  
My way of saying Sharon Miller, ugh even typing that name mmakes me shiver

@asperman1  
What was the Bitchon Fucker era?

@Dec Browne  
Yes, even the engines from the Bitchon Fucker era were based on real engines mostly

@asperman1  
Not to mention all the engines except Lady are based on real life locomotives.

@Dec Browne  
Potentially true, i only said that to prove Thomas The Tank Engine jad it’s fair share of dark themes and content

@asperman1  
I bet this guy doesn’t even know what a tank engine is.

I am sorry to the op but they need to watch specifically Season 5 of Thomas The Tank Engine  
Also, it may be a horrible movie anyway but “Day of The Diesels” is full of rasicm

@thps48  
It is pretty classy.

Thomas might not be the most appropriate example. Should’ve done Dora the Explorer or Bob the Builder… Not Blue’s Clues ‘cause I’ll beat yo’ ass. X3

@HamburgerTime  
Yeah! And if it is ‘fluff’, which it is not, it’s on the classier side of fluff shows.

Don’t you talk trash about Thomas!

Your examples of kid shows: 
Maths, imagination and railway history.

Hey! Thomas is a classy show! 🚂

In your first example, Looney Tunes was parodying how detectives always smoked. In the second, smoking was what “bad kids” did, and when Pinocchio rebelled, it along with drinking and gambling are what he did with the other “bad kids.” (And he regretted it later because it made him seriously sick.)
 
The third was also a parody. So those examples weren’t really promoting smoking. In fact, the second was quite the reverse.
 
However attitudes in general about smoking in the 40s and 50s were different as the dangers weren’t fully-known to the public, and they hadn’t learned that companies will often straight-up lie to your face to make a buck.

I just now realize how many old cartoons promoted lung cancer.  
 
 

Haven’t you seen the Peppa Pig episode Miss Rabbit’s Tummy Bump?

that team umizoomi though, they kick ass.(Geo with his sword, and Milli with her freaking kung-fu.) XD

You’ll be surprised how much they sneak into these shows.

@PL  
It wasn’t implied. Characters were genuinely drunk on wine or beer.

Tom and Jerry displayed a lot of scenes where drinking and getting drunk was implied.

The “kids shows” are for pre-schoolers (2-6 years) while the “family shows” are for tween-agers (8-14 years)

Now that I think about it, Thomas the Tank Engine was pretty violent back then. Holy shit there were tons of train crashes. There was even a character who fucking DIED ON SCREEN. And the worst part was that he was NEVER SEEN IN ANOTHER EPISODE. The episode is called Donald and Douglas. And the best part was that George Carlin narrated it.

That better be post-Series 5 Thomas.
