The Problem with Todays Children TV

Now even though children's tv of today has less paedophiles then 40 years ago, (that we know of)  it is nothing compared to the shows I used to watch.

My favourites were Fireman Sam, Noddy and of course Captain Scarlet. Now what do all these shows have in common? They were all re-made today but instead of using puppets the powers that be decided to use CGI. When these shows were re-made CGI was cheap and accessible for it to be used openly so it was exciting and cheaper to do these shows with an updated style. I'm guessing the idea was to appeal to the younger generation and attract the nostalgia factor from people like me.

Sadly it didn't work for me. The reason why is when I watched Captain Scarlet, one of the best shows ever to grace the square box, I wanted to play Captain Scarlet. There is an episode were the most advanced tank ever made is being showcased to the Earth's Supreme Commander. You see the tank driving up hills, jumping over ditches and shooting objects to smithereens. I remember watching this and wanting that tank, just like the other Spectrum vehicles, the SPV, the Angel's Jets, even the Spectrum Cloud base.

The reason why it was so great was the puppets and the vehicles are real, they're not some fake computerized image. What I was watching was the setting for my imagination, so when I bought the toys I could re-create what was happening on the scream. It was like someone was using your toys to make a show. The CGI re-makes could never re-create this kind of magic, the same feeling would always escape them. Even if the argument of 'Kid's now-a-days just play computer games' is used why would a child watch a show when he could just control it. On a side note children will always play with toys as well as computer games, the aforementioned argument is 100% wrong.

Now here is the first seven minutes the re-make. Just watch up until the first 1:07 for the opening:

And here is the original:

Now you tell me which one is better. Plus the new one is racist because they took the only black man in the show and changed him into a woman. I don't know if they kept the Angel Melody or not, I didn't want to watch that far to find out.
