9 Episodes of Kids Shows That Dealt With Serious Issues | blameitonjorge

It was kind of hard to rank these because I believe all these episodes and specials are important. And please don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying one issue is more important than another.

I just want to compile a list of episodes that bravely and unapologetically tackled serious issues that I'm sure some of us may have went through or have experienced. I really hope some of them have helped you, or if there's a different show/episode that did, let me know in the comments down below.

Thank you for 500K !! :) Much love, and more content to come.

I nearly cried when they had to explain death to big bird. *my heart it hurts*

[cease]

Ok, literally, Charlie Brown always looks and acts like he has depression. It’s really sad to watch the show and think about how Charlie might have depression.

[kornflakes]

It's good that TV shows deal with serious subjects that should be dealt with, and not avoided like the plague. Kids need to know these problems and how to deal with them before they also encounter such issues, so they are prepared for their future and feel secure.

I remember being showed “why Charlie brown Why?“ when I was first diagnosed with leukemia. It helped me understand what it was and that I would get better. I owe a lot of my hope to Charlie brown and Linus.

[maethz]

"Mr Hooper died."
"Ahhh, okay I'll give it to him when he comes back."

Damn.

[whendidthisgetserious]

Imma be honest..I almost cried when they told big bird Hooper died. It was like telling a child. He's like "when's he coming back."

[Lostinmyhead]

Remember that episode where Helga’s dad had to spend time with her and he knew nothing about her and what she liked? Yeah they definitely didn’t care about my Helga at all and I actually felt bed

[LemonnNote]

"Big Bird, when people die they don't come back..."
"Ever?"
"No, ever"
*cries*

[amyreeper]

“I think he’s dead...”

“When is he coming back?”

🥺

[bongripsfordenji]

What I expected: Stealing is bad, bad friends
What I got: AIDS, cancer, 9/11

I actually remember watching that Charlie Brown episode in elementary school. One of the kids in my class was diagnosed with Leukemia, and as a way to help us understand it and what he was going through, the teachers in our grade showed us this.

Now, graduated from college, he has managed to beat Leukemia twice! 💜

[winnumber]

When Linus stood up to that bully, I teared up

[melkiorwiseman]

You didn't mention how in "Why, Charlie Brown, why?" Linus' security blanket is conspicuous by its absence throughout the entire show. It was a constant comedy element in the Charlie Brown stories, and its absence was just one deliberate indicator of how seriously the show took the subject of cancer.

[moved]

One of the teachers in my school has been battling breast cancer for 5 years

She’s fully fought it now :)

[cam]

"big bird, mr. hooper's not coming back"
"why not?"
"when people die, they don't come back"
"ever?"
*"no, never"*
i am in tears

[tetradecagon]

I was shown “Why Charlie Brown why “ in like 1st or 2nd grade because one of my best friends was diagnosed with leukemia. After they finished showing us the film, they brought my best friend in and said that she had the sickness talked about in the show. I started crying my eyes out.

Rest In Peace, Lia ❤️

My heart lowkey broke when big bird was asking when he was coming back and why her couldn’t

[mmiriamtheangel]

When they describe Mr. Hoopers death, it was like the future episode when Elmo wanted to play baseball but he couldn’t because (I don’t remember there name) died, Elmo didn’t understand.
I’d say Sesame Street actually is teaching a lot of kids different things, like divorce, death, austim, foster kids, incarcerated, and etc. I think it’s really nice what they’re doing :)

[treyissexy]

That episode of Hey Arnold will forever break my heart. It's sad to think the main reason Helga fell so deeply in love with Arnold was because he was the only person to ever show her any kind of compassion.
