It is just as bad (or worse) when they show trailers for R rated movies when you go to a G movie. I think there should be a law that movie trailers (and commercials) cannot advertise for movies (shows) that are higher rated then the movie (show) you are there to see. I agree with your frustation totally.

Thanks to anyone who posted here and didn’t abuse me. You can’t complain about anything regarding your children and TV without being accused of allowing it to raise them. My children are not hooked onto it 24/7!

There was a time when TV was a tool used to educate children with valuable knowledge and with good strong life lessons. I provide them with that, but it would be nice to have some back up instead of having to constantly police their shows for various offenses.

I am going to have to be more vigilant and much less trusting from now on.

I try to avoid having my kids see the trailers before the actual movie begins because I simply do not trust anyone anymore to care about the well being of my children. I rarely, rarely take my kids to the movies. The movie has to look really good for me to do so.

I have become very picky. My husband has as well.

I may have sounded a bit crazed when I initially posted about this topic. I have to say after seeing those commercials shown to my kid, I just wanted to crush somebody's head like a grape. Preferably somebody at Cartoon Network and/or Comcast!

I agree. I find it irritating when I go to a movie and have to sit through previews of movies that have higher ratings.
