A lot of mainstream television shows had a random musical episode. It was a complete tone shift, out of place and usually complete cringe.
Looking up a random list, some affected shows that are definitely not cartoons for toddlers;
- Lucifer
- Greg’s Anatomy
- Fringe
- Supernatural
- The Flash
- Once upon a Time
- Xena: Warrior Princess

Musical inserts bring second hand embarrassment otherwise known as cringe.

Embrace cringe. Let it set you free.

Actually the whole behaviour you’re describing right there - of being embarrassed by an episode of a TV show - is cringe

Don’t worry bud, you’ll grow into yourself some day and stop judging everything based on if you think you’ll look cool doing it.
