Dennis is a Menace and a bully to adults and his poor neighbor Mr. Wilson

I remember seeing this TV show Dennis the Menance when I was a little kid in the 1980s. Recently I have watched this TV show on DVD and on the youtube videos and I was shocked that Dennis who is known in the comic strip for mischief behavior is a bully and a vandal.

First of all, this show is not appropriate for kids. This TV show encourages bullying and violence. Dennis the main character is a neighborhood bully, and he delights in torturing and making fun of adults and elderly like George Wilson and girls like Margret who Dennis harasses in almost every episode. Also, Dennis causes property damage to Mr. Wilsons house and also at the car factory and he doesn't pay for the damages or faces the consequences. Dennis also fat shames Mr. Wilson which is not funny. I hate Dennis Mitchell and I hate his 2 incompetent parents. He should be on a restraining order or spanked or be forced to pay for the property damages, be sent to juvenile detention and banned from going into dangerous factories or places not for kids.

The worst episode off all time is "Cheer Up" which title is very misleading. Dennis leaves his skateboard on the porch and Mr. Wilson slips on the skateboard and crashes and ends up bandaged in the hospital. I was really angry when Dennis horrible parents Henry and Alice neglect Dennis and leaves him with Mr. Wilson to torture him in the hospital, I didn't like it that Dennis forced Mr. Wilson to race against an elderly woman in the hospital and causes his broken foot to hit the door and then get crushed in the elevator door, are you kidding me? This disturbing episode needs to be removed from TV and online videos.

Also I don't like how careless and neglectful The Mitchells are to Dennis and they don't care and don't do anything to stop Dennis from Causing harm to people and property. Henry Mitchell is the worst dad ever and so is Alice Mitchell. I also don't like it that Mrs. Wilson takes sides with Dennis and doesn't really care about her husbands well being.

Also, I don't like seeing Mr. Wilson doing skateboarding stunts as it makes me too nervous to watch as he is very old which reminds of the TV show Life with Lucy.

Also, there's a disturbing episode called "Time Bomb" which Dennis and Joey assumes the present is a time bomb which is very insensitive for people.

This TV show while I liked the music and theme songs and the animation. This TV show story is outdated and negative. I'm ashamed of the former comic creator Hank Ketcham who in real life divorced his wife and neglected his son Dennis, who approves of a story about a neighborhood bully getting away with hurting people and destroying property.

This awful 1980s cartoon TV show deserves the worst TV award of all time. I hope this TV show goes lost and gets banned from TV and online and I hope the Dennis the Menace comic strip which by the way is still continuing on which I'm surprised, will finally end for good.

If you want to see a good comic strip cartoon, watch Charlie Brown or Garfield or For Better or for Worse. Skip this awful outdated faithful Dennis the Menace cartoon as it's no longer socially acceptable in the 21st century.
