Top 10 Most Stereotype Using TV Shows of All Time
There are a few shows that abuse stereotypes way too much.
Jessie is an American sitcom that originally aired on Disney Channel from September 30, 2011 to October 16, 2015. The series was created and executive produced by Pamela Eells O'Connell and stars Debby Ryan as Jessie Prescott, a small town Texas girl who moves to New York City to try to become an actress,... read more As a young kid, I used to love this show but as I'm older now, I'm now realizing the harmful stereotypes.
Babysitter only in it for the money and her lover, dumb blonde whose obsessed with boys, foreign Indian kid with a pet lizard and a heavy accent, the troubled son who only wants to be a rebel, the sassy little black girl, and the fat house servant.
All overly used and toxic stereotypes.
I agree, these are extremely commonly used stereotypes. But there are stereotypes everywhere. Stereotypes were created to be used. (In theatre, we just learned about Commedia Dell'arte, basically the birth of stereotypes, so I'm trying to not go into a full lesson on that lol). What I'm trying to say, is that you shouldn't wrong a show because or using stereotypes. They are used because they are enjoyable. I didn't watch Jessie much, so I'm not super familiar with it, but I think that stereotypes should be judged based on how they are used.
Total Drama is a Canadian animated comedy television series which is a homage and parody to the conventions commonly found in reality television. That's what makes the show so entertaining, though. You've got the type A, the dumb blonde, the popular b-i-t-c-h, the dumb jock, the wannabe jock, the cynical kid who's smart but lazy, the fat and gross guy, and others. It's the clashing of the stereotypes that makes it funny.
Despite Total Drama MADE to be full of stereotypes, I think some of these stereotypes are a bit.. wrong. Don't get me wrong, I loved this show, but the way Owen and Izzy were portrayed was horrible, same with Gwen and Lindsay.
Well yeah, but that's what makes this show iconic, super entertaining.

Hm... we've got the dumb chick who dyes her hair, the mean goth, the annoying cling-on, the nerd, and loads of other obvious stereotypes. And they don't pull them off well, either.

The show is about four boys, who are Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick, and their adventures in South Park, Colorado. How could you forget South Park? That show abuses just about every stereotype imaginable.
It's supposed to offend as much people as possible. But South Park is still awesome.
You have no tastes in T.V.. You hate Robot Chicken and South Park? How?

Not only was the accent so heavily used, but the "Every Asian likes monkeys" stereotype was so heavily used in this. I wouldn't say it's the most stereotypical show ever, but it isn't the best for kids.
This just shows the stereotypes and things that people think about Asian people, more specifically Chinese people
