I actually connect with #17. I’m Chilean-American with 29% indigenous Chilean DNA. That’s fairly common for most Chileans, but most of us don’t identify as indigenous, though many see surviving indigenous people, most predominantly the Mapuche, as fellow citizens. Anyway, I didn’t really grow up with much of a culture to speak of. The main thing my parents brought with them was their music my groups such as illapu. So after taking a DNA analysis and discovering my roots, I started learning more about Chilean and Mapuche culture. But it’s not easy without a teacher.

Linus lashing out the bully, defending Janice’s condition, is one I would never forget anytime the peanuts is brought up. For a boy rolling around with a blanket, Linus is the morale of the gang, so it’s rare to see Linus be erupted with anger like this. His sister’s temper really rubbed off on him. It was also cathartic that the jerk did a turnaround, though, albeit a bit too soon.

I still remember the Static Shock episode and how it touched on heavy subjects such as gun violence, and the dangers of letting bullying get out of hand, and parents not learning about how bad bullying can get until it's to late. And this was shown during the moments of Richie getting shot, Jimmy mentally broken by all the bullying and barging into the haunted house clean-up with the gun, and the scene where Virgil, his, dad, and Jimmy's dad find Jimmy's journal and learn how bad the bullying Jimmy was receiving a little to late. But I did like how Virgil's dad was understanding about Jimmy's parents not being aware of how bad the bullying was by explaining to Jimmy's dad that due to them acquiescing to Jimmy's request of not talking about what happened at school him and his wife were completely unaware of how bad the bullying was and how it was giving Jimmy serious mental issues.

The problem I have with this episode is that statistically speaking it's not the bullied kids who end up shooting up a school. Instead, it's the ones that no one messed with, even the bullies, out of fear. It paints shooters as misunderstood outcasts when usually they were teens who showed concerning signs of violence and/or manipulation. To help give a better understanding, if you were to take all the kids in South Park, the one most likely to become a school shooter would be Cartman.

There were even more from PPG than just that one, like "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey", where the villain is basically an all powerful god who claimed to "save" Townsville, but was ultimately making it into his own image and being worshiped. Could hint at religious stuff here and how people may sacrifice even their own freedom/self identity for their saviors/gods/religion. Also the one with Robin. Hints that her parents probably had unprotected sex and got pregnant. She was already told that she was "a mistake", most likely hinting at this being the exact reason, and one of her lines is even "I'm a mistake too". Though the ep doesn't focus on that single aspect, it's just a scene. Still, really adult here. Seduca episodes. Nuff said. :P

Deadly Force is just a wonderfully done, actually rational and balanced take on the problem of gun violence. Instead of simplistically telling kids “Guns are horrible, scary, deadly weapons which serve no purpose other than to hurt and kill innocent people, and could be used to shoot you at any time,” we get a far saner and more reasonable, realistic moral- “Guns can be and are potentially very dangerous weapons-but only if you fail to handle them with the respect and caution they require. They are not toys, and should never be used without permission, for criminal acts, kept in places where people who might not know any better can have access to them, or ever viewed as an appropriate way to deal with anger, frustration, or other negative emotions. Follow these guidelines, and you don’t have to be afraid of guns.”

He kept his grief bottled up for years. It was like he froze in time, but then he finally let it all out. Started talking about my mom and moved on. And now I think I can finally say that he’s ok”. And Mel losing her mom just like that really affected her and she thought she could bring her mom back with a Time Machine but she couldn’t. Grief hurts, but it has to.

Regarding the Captain Planet AIDS episode. My brother was a hemophiliac and he contracted HIV from the medicine we need to stop bleeding. Back in the 80’s, the medicine was still made from blood plasma. The thing I really like about the episode, is it mentions that he had a blood transfusion. I think it is very important information, especially at the time it was made. A bit simplistic, I admit, but especially for a kids show, it’s good info

Static Shock, Batman, Avatar, and Captain Planet were among the best shows I watched in my child- and teenhood. Static should get a live-action series or adapted to DCEU. And Captain Planet rebooted as live-action with more lessons about protecting the Earth, why, and tackling more serious issues.

I somehow think it's good for kids shows to show at least one episode that talk about issues that are that serious because literally pretty much anything in the world can cause seemingly unsolvable problem, where maybe only someone like an all good angel like person can help fix or make better (like what I heard Fred Rogers was somewhat like). And I think one of the biggest issues today is that most people in the world, who do need mental therapy, are usually those who either can't afford it, never heard of it or don't trust mental therapy.

Its Main Dilemma talks about Normal Kids, Bullying Someone at school and pushing them to the limits of taking the bullying too far. That episode is a Absolute Masterpiece to me, my Siblings and My Friends, it touches our hearts, and it felt so real to all of us. It's an episode that still holds up all these years.

Sadly, she passed away and was only about 27/28 years old and this was in 2006.

A few others that should be on this list. 1) “The Greatest Evil Parts 1 & 2” from the DiC version of G.I. Joe. Deals with recreational drugs, from both the perspective of addiction and dealing in them. Scott McNeill was amazing as the voice of both Lieutenant Falcon and the Headman. 2) “Chaos” from the original Transformers series. Deals with survivor’s guilt. 3) “The Web” from Beast Wars. It’s about insubordination and how cooperation with friends and/or family can save you in the end.

The Mr. Rogers entry is unfortunately very limited information-wise. In the first place, Fred Rogers Productions did *not* release the entire special outside of that small segment of Mr. Rogers talking to the viewers. The entire special focused on a story in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe about an anthropomorphic tree known only by fans as the "walking talking tree" committing hom!c!de against another tree and Lady Elaine using the dead tree footage for clout on the news for MGR-TV report. Several years ago, an MRN fan named Degeneration X The Owl gave a semi-detailed account of the special on the Neighborhood Archive message board forum, as there also once was of the special described on The Fred Rogers Center catalogue. So this special *still* hasn't been seen in it's entirety for over 40 years, so this is still not quite accurate and probably won't be for a while.

Fred Rogers was probably the only male figure on television that spoke from his heart with, grace, compassion, and vulnerability! He didn't crush others with the *pseudo-masculine* approach that is the favored standard for males in the US and around the world (for example, "Rambo", John Wayne's numerous gun-toting cowboy characters, "The Lone Ranger", "Dirty Harry", Charles Bronson's "Death Wish" movie's character, "GI Joe", etc.). He was a soft-spoken, dignified *_GENTLEMan_* and it's a shame that his example of how boys/males/men can exist in this world is the exception not the norm!
