What TV show traumatized you as a kid? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

When I was about 8 years old (2016) I woke up early while my parents were still asleep and turned on the TV to see what to watch. Superjail was on and I cried due to so much gore being on the TV, even if it was cartoon gore. I was 8.

I think there was a POW scene in Magnum P.I. that was a lot for little me. Not sure episode/season.

Honestly, though, coming to the realization at abput 13 that the "General Lee" and the prominent placement for Confederate flags the Dukes of Hazzard represent an American South that promotes white supremacy, Jim Crow laws, and segregation — all antithetical to my BIPOC existence.

The cognitive dissonance involved in the song, pre-programming me to lend them the excuse that they're "just a good ol' boys..." — yeah, my parents should've known better.

The thoughts I had for Daisy Duke would've had me lynched, like Emmitt Till, under that flag. Still might.

Yeah, they were hanging in cages and one got shot in the leg. "put your finger in it!" as he bled out.
