There is also a little button on the front of the TV - and the remote control - labled, "Off". Works for me everytime. LVM That is the lamest argument of all, and always the ones who use it are so smug. Why can't you grasp that the problem occurs BEFORE YOU TURN THE CHANNEL? "Oh sorry kids, pretend you didn't see or hear that-- here, I changed the channel to Barney"
YOUR ARGUMENT IS A CHEAP COP OUT. And this doesn't just go for KIDS either. It goes for anyone, no matter young, middle or old age, who have a RIGHT TO BE FREE FROM this crap. It does NOT have to be mainlined into every household on public airwaves (or cable for that matter) in order to uphold your freedom of the "press" (which this is not) argument. People can get this crap and all other related crap at a special, dingy little bookstore like they USED to.

If I had kids I would be just as appalled, trouble is that TV and Radio are free- so you are free not to watch it. Or turn off the set after 8pm.
Free media needs viewers to have an audience for commercials- they need racy crap to get viewers since they are competing with cable - which is almost all R rated nowadays.

Hint: You don't have a right not to be offended.

YOUR ARGUMENT IS A CHEAP COP OUT. And this doesn't just go for KIDS either. Ive watched three episodes of the show in question and there was nothing else that I can recall that makes the show different from any other show on at night.
And what kind of parent are you if you dont know that Fox is known for its sleazy programming. They market to people like me, not to your kids so do your parental thing and take control.
