Among the programs thrust under the education rubric, according to a study by the Washington-based Center for Media Education, were Super Mario Brothers (cited for demonstrating the importance of "self-confidence"), The Jetsons (for teaching kids what life might be like in the 21st century) and Leave It to Beaver (for promoting the values of "communication and trust...
