Why was every cartoon or show in the 90s set in an inner city? I noticed it wasnt until the early 00s cartoons or kids shows started being set in the suburbs. Even movies were all set in inner cities like Chicago or New york or Seattle

I guess youre right. Why was so much children's programming set in inner cities? Stuff like sesame Street or Reading Rainbow were very focused on inner city kids

Taxpayer funded shows like these were aimed at urban youth as an experiment in making them literate because they wouldn’t go to school

Is there any cartoon of the era that had as much SOVL as Hey Arnold? I get genuinely upset that I'll never get to exist in such a world

That's retarded. Anti vagrancy laws made it difficult for street urchins to exist. They can't force them into work either so it's off boarding school. Rural kids can easily just skip out on school and have their parents sign a few documents shifting their education to homeschooling.

Hey Arnold's city is set in the Pacific Northwest. It's like Seattle or Portland.

What? You thought it was NYC?

Shows with Adult main characters are set in the suburbs even Beavis and Butthead were pretty old compared to the kids in Hey Arnold or the demographic for stuff like Ghostwriter
