TV these days is all R and NC-17 watered down to PG-13
ugh
TV is child abuse
***TV these days is all R and NC-17 watered down to PG-13***
I remember when the ratings system first came in, in response to the Bobby Kennedy shooting. Everything from comic books, Tv shows, guns, movies were all blamed.
TV dumbed down to kid shows.
Comics cleaned up for a year or two.
The 1968 Gun control act was passed.
But MOVIES were allowed to police themselves with a rating system. With that movies began to produce the most vile movies ever.
Remember these various rating systems?
G M R X.
G GP R X.
G PG PG-13 R NC-17.
Movies rated R in 1969 were recently seen on TV pay channels not rated PG and PG-13.
I saw a Glen Ford western (Heaven with a gun) in 1969 that was so tame kids could go to it.
I saw that same movie not long ago on cable and the show had so much nudity in it I knew it had to be the European release of the same movie. It would have been rated R today and still would have been considered too hot for a release in 1969.
