Nice to have someone who gets it. Thanks.
Yup! A Newbie!
I agree that the smut on TV these days (including commercials) has gotten out of hand. And there must be a stopping place.
Better if the industry, itself, monitored and sets standards. But obviously the TV industry is not going to take a stopping.
The FCC could be useful and probably would do more -- IF the public demanded it.
What's wrong with the industry displaying big XXX on the screen if their program is going to involve nudity or explicit sexual activity? Why can't they be forced to put a "rating" next their the title of every TV program?
The movie industry was forced to grade its movies, so that parents would know the content. I think TV programs should do likewise.
If TV shows were graded, PG, PG-13, X, XX, XXX, the next logical step could be that individual TV sets could be programmed to show only PG or PG-13.
That would be a big help to parents.
This is an important issue. I'm glad to see so much interest generated on this topic.
