I own the complete set. They drove the message home early for kids who preceded VHS/DVR and the like which also made TV potentially interesting to kids for about 4 hours a week (Saturday mornings) and the message to me was cartoon characters a)are not real and b) are a lot of re-runs.
Video games are a different thing. You control what happens and the consequences of poor choices is effectively nothing more serious than some mild disappointment. Further evidence of the difference is the potential for addiction to video games. They can and have become part of a lot of people's identities.
