Are Kids Getting Dumber?

So the recent pulling of The Legend of Korra lead me to asking this question.

With beautiful and sophisticated cartoon shows like Young Justice and Korra getting pulled off TV due to low ratings, why do shows like Breadwinners and Spongebob that continue to devour whatever intelligence kids have while watching them continue to thrive in ratings?

Most of these ratings are due to the kids. Do they just not want to be challenged anymore?

I hate to sound like a hipster but back in my day, I remember every kid watching series like Batman: The Animated Series or Gargoyles instead of shows like Doug!

Are Kids getting dumber in terms of their entertainment in TV?
