As long as they keep stuffing cats into bottles, I'll be okay!
   
  Actually I've been watching a lot of Looney Tunes, Pink Panther, and Tom&Jerry w/ my 7 y.o.  She LOVES it when someone gets blown up, flattened, or electrocuted (skeletons!), but she shows no interest in imitating that behavior.  She knows it's a cartoon, and she knew that when she was much younger too.
   
  In the older episodes the Pink Panther smokes cigarettes, and she has commented that this is "unhealthy".
   
  What she DOES imitate is some of the dialog.  We've had quite a few exchanges involving Rabbit Season vs. Duck Season, wrong turns at Albuquerque, and "I suppose you realize this means war"...All the good stuff!

Flintstones and Scooby-Doo, to edit out scenes that glamorize smoking.>>
