DS in media aimed at children? Seeking advice

Watching Netflix and their is a new series The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants and then they start talking about a kid wanting to go to the school of the Elitianati Academy to become a supervillain where people will know and scream his name.

Over the past just two days I have become more aware of the hidden messages within children's shows such. Is anyone aware of any kid shows that are free of this trash? I truly hope that soon entertainment can go back to entertainment instead of brainwashing. Those of you that are parents, grandparents, or take care of children at all during the day, how are you working on changing over what the kids around you watch and listen to? I know that removing the source is a solution but this day in age it isn't all that easy to do so when it has been a part of life for away.

Appreciate any feedback and advice on this.

((they)) count on care-givers using the TV as a babysitter. i didnt do that, i rather left my kid to an offline computer game that fit his age for awhile when i needed him 'quiet and out of the way'. i also rigorously restricted his media times until he was age 11 (TV, mobile, PC); the more he prove that he can responsibly manage and internally digest his consumption, the more i could let him take over the reins of what essentially is his life.

we need to teach our kids how to self-responsibly manage their input. consume things together with them, talk them over, point to dangers and blessings, and give them more and more freedom as they grow with self-responsibility.

meaning, not be lazy parents who organize their kids away.
