Anyone else "catching up" on their childhoods now?

One of my classmates in primary school (in fourth and fifth grade) said he watched Adult Swim, although now that I think about it aren't the shows that are on at the beginning of the block not as objectionable?

I will watch a bunch of shows I never got to watch or finish when I was in elementary school

Yeah TBF every household is different and has different things they consider "objectionable." Plenty of "now grown up kids" around me "grew up" with the Adult Swim lineup, either their parents didn't care in one way or...didn't care in another way. Or they caught things with friends whose parents didn't care (a decently common 80s-2000s tactic I recall to get around parental blocks-I did it with certain manga and movies personally).

For reference, my younger sibling grew up watching gorey war movies from a pretty young age because my parent was a MAJOR history nerd and super into those. 

I know why your parents didn't allow you to watch ICarly. Dan Schneider.

One of the kids in my second grade class watched the block too. But, he watched the way more questionable things on there. He also bullied me for watching age appropriate stuff.

Actually surprisingly no, they had NO clue about any of that XD They just didn't like teen dramas "pushing" "dumb vapid girls" and "boy drama" and "romance" too early on "impressionable girls." My own parent would get pissy about content like that, I remember their saying, "Every show is like 'she has a crush on a boy.'" They also didn't like that so much of "girls entertainment" was just boys, fashion, and shopping. They wanted girl MCs with more diverse interests and talents and jobs.

I do think said parent had a point about vapid girls entertainment, I just think they got too extreme in one direction.  

Yeah in my case, at my school, people found ways to get around "prudish adults" fairly easily by just "sharing and caring." Not though the internet, it was mostly too early for that, but like getting that "one kid" to get that R rated DVD or M rated game or controversial young adult book or "parental guidance" CD and letting it make naturally make its rounds around the school, hidden away in the backs of lockers, under jackets, hidden under schoolbooks and in pouches, in other CD or DVD cases, etc. I guess people were just REALLY good at hiding their tracks because I was at that school for years and I don't recall a single person actually getting in trouble for that. 

Oddly enough too, my parent would chastise me for watching to watch a PG-13/R comedy BUT also not let me watch something like The Piglet Movie or Hamtaro. And no teen dramas or more mature adult dramas, because those were also too inappropriate! Like, I don't know what they expected me to watch. I could only watch our family movie DVDs so many times before I wanted new stuff.
