Care Bears

So here's what I've been thinking about for...well... the past 10 minutes. The Care Bears always talk about helping and sharing and caring, but where the hell are Hugs and Tugs' parents? Seriously, they better have a good reason for dumping the cubs, the only cubs in Care-A-Lot by the way, off on old Grams Bear.

Wait a second, there are 2 cubs and only 1 elder? What are these bears really doing? Did Grams bear get a stay of execution because she someohow talked the other bears into taking care of the cubs? Tenderheart and Lionheart probably ship the oldies to face off against No Heart ( ooh I found a rare pic of him without his hood on).

Ok say Care Bears just disappear as the age or something nice like turning into a rainbow. And there must be at least one elder, much like Smurfs and the Ewoks (ok 2 here, but one was a witch doctor so lets not count him). But the fact still remains that every bear called Grams, Grams. Was she everyone's grandma? Sure it may be a name, but then was she called Grams when she was in her prime? I don't think so. You would think that she'd at least be one of the regular bears parents or they would consider her more of a mother than a grandmother.

So quick recap of the show Care Bears,
Demographics based on age are completely out of whack, 2 kids, 1 elder, a lot of adults, the future does not look to bright.
Beastly, still have no clue what he was supposed to be. A partly shaved wombat is my best guess.
Share Bear was always banished to do PSAs. Did anyone ever see her doing anything to fight evil?
Grumpy was very complex, he cared but wanted you to be in a bad mood. There was no rule he had to spread cheer so by god he didn't. Gotta look up to that kids.
Care Bear Stare? Are light projections of hearts, clouds and moons really that powerful? Am I to believe I could stop a robbery using my trusty flashlight and box of Lucky Charms, theres a good lesson for impressionable children.

All in all, a great children's tv program. Honest.
