Faye asked:


Does not have to be exact dates, or specifically 1940s, 1990s etc. Could be 50s or 80s. I’m just looking for trends in kid’s television during during any of the decades from 1940s to 1990s.

I’m specifically looking at violence, racism, adult themes, and any increasing censorship on these things in cartoons.
Ex. any rules concerning what could go on tv
