This comes to show that I admire Joe Murray's 90s Nickelodeon cartoon, in fact this cartoon had a creative influence on my work.  Specifically, Tech Central's Guide to The Color Coded Alert System (2016).

COMMENTARY JANUARY - NOTHING ON TV (2012).

In 2012, reality TV was beginning to become mainstream and children's cartoons were getting a TV-PG rating due to shocking moments that can make Scooby-Doo look like Sesame Street (Happy 50th Birthday you too). People began to give up on their cable. One person came and expressed his opinion about it. He made social commentary about it in the most abstract manner possible, at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. (i.e. Me.) This is Nothing On TV (2012).

Nothing on TV (2012)

This is a Video II assignment where we have to use the three screen projections projection. I made this because I was mad at the way television was going back then. There was reality TV dominating the airwaves and various shows with negative messages telling us to succumb to negativity. Not only in live-action but animation too. The cartoons not only had that, but they were messed up in terms of their stories, carried eyesore character designs and carry out shock moments (i.e. the stuff that can make Scooby-Doo look like Sesame Street). It made me miss the old days, where there was none of that stuff. Kids would watch cartoons unattended with no worries from the parents (because there was no TV-PG rating).
This is my exercise in social commentary.

Enjoy.
