Kids’ television shows aren’t what they used to be, an entertainment watchdog group says in a new report that notes a dramatic rise in violence and profanity in programs rated TV-PG.
In TV programs sharing a comparable rating to Disney films, words such as “suck/blow,” “hell/damn” and “bitch” and voyeur-style violence are appearing increasingly, the Parents Television Council says in a study released Tuesday.
The study compared 2017-2018 sweeps episodes rated TV-PG (appropriate for children with parental guidance) with similar programming from a decade earlier. It found that violence and foul language have crept into family programming without any resistance from advertisers or regulators.
“TV is more dangerous for families today than when the system was devised,” said Peggy Nance, president of Concerned Women for America, who spoke Tuesday to reporters about the results.
Parents Television Council President Tim Winter said the “content creep” falls squarely on the shoulders of a failed governmental experiment to allow the television networks to regulate themselves for age-appropriate content via the industry-supported TV Parental Guidelines Oversight Monitoring Board.
Mr. Winter pointed to a study in May by the Federal Communications Commission that found numerous flaws with the monitoring board and noted that the rating system has not changed in more than 20 years.
“Indeed, it has not but content has,” Mr. Winter said.
In its report, the watchdog group reserved its strongest criticism for The CW network’s TV-PG sitcom “Jane the Virgin,” noting its frequent references to sex.

PING!
Yeah - same on FR. (And yeah - I’m guilty as well).
I’m totally guilty.
We don’t watch that much prime time, but many times I’ve mentioned to my wife how vulgar it’s gotten
Especially ABC
If I had kids, they’d only be watching shows from the 1950’s, Leave it to Beaver, My three sons, etc. That way there’s no foul language, and no homosexuals.
What does Donald Trump think? I’d hate to virtue signal or whatever, think something is wrong when it’s actually good.
While babysitting my granddaughter this summer, I was surprised to see cartoons where one character slaps another character in the face. I was also surprised to see cartoon characters twerking.

HomoSexual’s were on 50s and 60s comedies and dramas too

True. But they weren’t out of the closet.
By the seventies they were and they were in fall fascist mode pushing their agenda
What’s “voyeur style” violence? The evil eye?
Of course I hit the ceiling.
I explained that that is dead wrong, that there are two in the male perineum: one for urination and sex and one for defecation.
I also explained in heated and no uncertain terms that any use of the rectum for anything other than defecation is abnormal, sick, and extremely dangerous inasmuch as such a practice dangerously transmits AIDS, hepatitis, amebiasis, shigellosis, multiple worm infestations, pathogenic E. coli, cholera, granuloma inguinal, lymphogranuloma venereum, and may other horrifying diseases and, of equal importance, causes severe psychological damage, especially to children.
I further explained that in today's atmosphere of the decadence of Western Civilization, when much of America, Europe, and the rest of the Western World are in the throes of the kind of internal moral rot and decay that destroy civilizations, such practices as anal sex, homosexuality, pornography, the use of dangerous and illegal drugs, et al. are peddled as perfectly normal but that they are absolute not normal--nor are they healthy.
The passion of my outburst got his attention.
The truth of what I had to say corrected any confusion that today's education system, television programs, and the internal moral rot and decay surrounding us today might have foisted on him.
I was shaken by this. It was days ago, and I'm still shaken.
I'm glad that I have encouraged him to tell me anything and everything, and in whatever language he chooses.
I don't know where he learned that or how long ago, but I do know that such information is ubiquitous. They all know about such things.
This is part of the Decadence of Western Civilization.
Back in the Clinton Administration, the President of the USA announced to the world that oral sex is not sex. Children all heard it. Apparently, the Democrats were amused. None raised any objection, but what would anyone expect from the Party of Hate, Violence, and Evil?
Civilizations fall because of internal moral rot and decay.
This is part of it.
All decent people recoil from such as this. Evidently Democrats and their supporters approve. None has raise any objection.
President Trump and his supporters believe that America can be pulled back from the brink of the abyss, restored to ascendency, and the moral rot and decay eradicated.
Meanwhile, keep the lines of communication open between children and decent adults. The children need guidance as never before.
I’m still spinning from the left’s assault on after school, and Saturday morning Warner Bros. cartoons being too violent for the kiddees.
I haven’t had a TV for many years. When I used to go to visit my parents, I couldn’t believe the quantum leap in vulgarity since the last time I was there. If I commented about it, they looked at me like I was nuts, and that’s because it creeps up you slowly and you have no idea what is happening to you.
You are becoming immune to it.
Imagine how much worse it is for kids, who are so much more impressionable and have no way of gauging what is going on.
Surely they want the children, just like Goldilocks when she found everything of Baby Bear’s JUST RIGHT. She ate his breakfast, she even slept in his bed. Surely the end of this so-called civilization will come soon, before every child is corrupted.
Liberals won’t be happy until your and my 5 year olds are writing songs celebrating M-F’s.
