I also don't get the cartoons. I'm all about goofy cartoons, but some of the stuff on now...I totally don't get.

Again, this depends on the parents. Kids aren't going to pay for cable on their own, and obviously they're not going to acquire expensive video game consoles without parental assistance. Many of the families I babysit for don't have cable television or buy their children video game systems (the exception seems to be Leapfrog, which is educational). The one channel we get reliably via antenna here is Oregon Public Broadcasting, and so that's the only television channel a lot of kids around here get to watch.
