Max and Ruby

Max and Ruby is his favorite show these days. It is cute but I think it has done a lot of damage lately.
Ashir has always been obedient, he has his own mind but he had always come around to reason, talking and in extreme cases threat of a timeout. But lately he is becoming more and more stubborn. Initially we thought that this is just part of growing up and he will be fine but then after further investigation we concluded that it is this cute bunny show that is the culprit.
Max and Ruby is about a little rabbit Max and his elder sister Ruby. Ruby tries new things and acts like a early (rabbit) teenager, while Max is equivalent of a 2 old boy. He doesnt speak full sentences yet, just one word at a time. So if he needs to drink water he will say "Water".
The twist is that Max is also a whiz with almost every gadget, he can drive a toy car, fly a remote controlled airplane, shoot darts with accuracy and much much more.
Ruby tries to control him but he always does something opposite, at first it looks that it will ruin whatever Ruby is trying to do but in the end the genius Max prevails, to the delight of his fans he always proves right and actually saves the day for Ruby.
So Ruby the elder is always wrong and Max the younger is always right.

We realized this connection when he was throwing tantrums the other day. We always eat on a little dining table in the kitchen, but today he was insisting to eat in his play room.
"Upstairs" - He pointed up
"No Ashir, not now, let us finish our dinner and then you can play for a while"
"Upstairs"
"So will you not eat today?"
"Upstairs" - he pointed to his food.
"No mister you are not getting your food upstairs, we have our food here and then we go up"
"Upstairs" he said sternly.
"No. Eat here or no food"
"Upstairs" - He began to cry
We were puzzled, but then connected the dots when we saw an episode or two of Max and Ruby, he was acting out Max, hoping that in the end he will be proven right.

I think even though the rating agencies give a "C" rating to some cartoons, they should also look at the message these cartoons are conveying. On our part we will block M&R and see if that makes a difference.
