Hey Pandas, Tell Us Something You Learned Or Do Now Because Of A Childhood TV Show (Closed)

I learned that if you run off a cliff, you will keep running in midair if you don't realize you're running off it.

A lot! In France we had a TV cartoon show called Voici la vie (Here's life). This amazing cartoon explained very easily how the body works. So I know how a vaccine works, how a teeth infection can bring you to death in some case.... Best.TV..Show.Ever....

i learned how stupid cartoon characters can be.

I know it sounds super cheesy, but I learned to never give up and to believe in my inner strength from Sailor Moon.

I wasn't a child when it started but Mythbusters taught me a lot. Like how to escape a sinking car, what terminal velocity and that you might be able to fly to space on a big water heater. I am an engineer today because of the show.

I learned A G L E T from phineas and ferb

Thanks to Schoolhouse Rock, I learned about the legislative process and how a Bill makes its way to Capital Hill, along with other useful things like grammar: "Conjunction Junction...what's your function?" and science and math.

I learned what touche meant and how mood swings worked from My Little Pony. I also started learning how to draw by trying to copy the characters movements and making comics because I couldn't make animations ^^

I used to believe that mouses were highly dangerous creatures and you should never mess with them from Tom and Jerry...

I learned that 12 year olds are allowed to have girl/boyfriends.

Thanks, Gumball and Darwin!

I learned that you can start singing a dancing randomly and everyone will join in

i learned how to act and copy movement from MHA. i know it sounds weird but if I like a scene from the show I will watch it over and over till I memorized it and then I will copy the movement and the words that are being said. I now cosplay and I love to act. I can even make myself cry on command now. sometimes my friends ask me to just act like a certain character and I will just change my mood and actions to match the character. I can do Deku and Bakugon pretty well.

I learned how to crack my knuckles by bending my fingers backward from one scene in Curious George. Now I bend my fingers like that constantly. I also found out I was double jointed in the fingers that way.

I learned from a recent show that me and my little sister watched, the one and only... She-ra and the princess of power... (the new version on Netflix). So I learned,

that im so freaking gay and catra was my idol. PERIODT.

I learned how to memorize all the bones in my body from dancing to the bone dance! :)

I interpreted this to mean shows you watched in childhood, not necessarily children's shows. That being said, I learned from Marcus Welby, M.D. (about a kindly old doctor) that if you were bleeding internally then your stomach/abdomen would be rigid like a board. Later, when I was 19 and married, I had an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured. It didn't hurt too much at first but when I realized my abdomen was literally hard as a board, I went to the emergency room. Marcus Welby, M.D. saved my life.

i think it's the concept of justice i saw in all the cartoon i watch when i was a kid. When i saw injustice it just makes me mad

Not sure it counts as it wasn't a children's show and I was 17 at the time, but I saw a documentary on the (then) new theory of birds having evolved from dinosaurs. I decided I wanted to be a palaeontologist, and about 5 years later I had a degree in Palaeontology. I then moved on to other things, though. Sometimes I regret it, especially not going into Paleoart. But then again, I could paint dinosaurs all day if I wanted and I don't, so...

I learned the barely useful French term, 'omelette du fromage!'

Thank you, Dexter's Laboratory!

Going to date myself here, but Gen X will get it. I learned the elbow trick from Bernadette on ZOOM. :)
