* ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' occasionally delved into this territory, although it was generally done well and in a manner that could educate kids on issues they might not otherwise learn about until they were older. Some episodes dealt with themes such as capitalism vs organized labor (showing the importance of responsible management, without totally demonizing, when Uncle Scrooge lost his memory).
** This was also a recurring theme in the original comics - making money by being stingy is OK. Making money by being totally unfair to consumers, the environment, or employees isn't.
* Seth MacFarlane has bluntly stated that ''[[American Dad]]'', a show about an [[Strawman Political|extremely stupid conservative CIA agent]] and his family, was created primarily out of his frustration at George W. Bush's re-election in 2004. However, despite its overtly political premise, it has generally been far less preachy than the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episodes that have aired during the same years. An episode focused around Bush, while showing him to be pretty stupid, actually had him portrayed as a pretty decent guy who ends up delivering a heartfelt message to help Stan be more forgiving and supportive of his daughter.
