Alright Yea Forums, explain why you've never completed the List

I did this too, in the country. but it's different to let a 10 year old ride the subway to the other side of a New Yorkesque city unsupervised, even in the 90s.

On the weekend I worked on a job and got paid under the table. As a kid

I see kids running about all the damn time, the hell are you talking about? The little brats only shut up when school's in session.

Eh, could just be the place I'm living at now thats different then

Schindler's List?

Seconding, the methheads don't bother keeping track of their kids, and the kids are the only ones who go outside without worrying about getting robbed by a methhead.

Why does he wear a plaid skirt?

It was the 90s, flannel shirts tied around your waist like a half skirt was practically required.

It's an oversized flannel shirt with a sweater over it.

yah fuckin idiot, the shirts not wrapped around his waist, its just a really long flannel shirt, with the blue shirt on top of it.

Rhonda in show thought it was a skirt, and was the reason she invited Arnold to the "cool" party.

In reality it was to show brainlet audience that Arnold wasn't a femboi walking around in a skirt.

People used to be more comfortable with kids walking around unsupervised IRL but I think cartoons played it up a lot more. Have you noticed how often Arthur has 8 year olds going to the movie theater by themselves?

>8 year olds going to the movie theater by themselves?
How is that bad. Isn't that what the rating system is for? They have theater in malls the kid can go see a flick while mom's shopping.

Writing kids and what kids actually do is hard apparently.

Similar thing with the Rugrats sequel. You'd think they'd be like mid-late teens with some of the shit they got up to, but I think they were mostly what like 11-12?

It's not about the movie they're seeing. It's that even when I was actually 8 years old I could never imagine any parents who would let their 8 year old go to the movies alone. And I don't mean going into a theater alone while the parents are in a different movie. I mean go completely on their own. And this was back when so few people had cell phones that Muffy having a cell phone was a joke about how rich and spoiled she was.

Suzie Sings the Blues still ticks me off. Suzie's big sister really handed her 12 year old sister a thousand dollars in cash to give to a "talent agent" without ever meeting her, then let Suzie go to a "recording session" on the other side of town all alone. And then she had the nerve to yell at Suzie about how dumb she was. SUZIE IS A CHILD. YOU'RE AN ADULT.

Yeah, like where were the fuck her parents in all of that.

Honestly, all grown up is kind of weird looking back at it. All of the parents look like they're in the 50s, but we know only 10 years has passed. So did this entire friend group only decide to have kids in their 40s or something? Which if you look back at Rugrats, the parents definitely were in their 40s. Those weren't some 20 something year old parents with their first kids which is the most common situation to happen.

Based on this clip they were in their early/mid 30s when they had their kids.

The list is retroactively impossible to complete because Saturday morning cartoons don't exist.
