My parents' generation (the baby boomers) often get upset at the horrible violence that's on TV. What could that crap be doing to the children? Oh! Think of the children! For a time, I just shook my head and agreed. But then the internet came along and I started to discover gems like Punch and Judy. A show my father remembers well and talks fondly of. I don't think he realizes the horrible, horrible madness that was hand puppetry then.
