I do not have kids. I do, however have nieces and nephews. I have no idea how you arrived at the conclusion "TV is free so you are free not to watch it" since when and HOW do those 2 statements connect? Just because the word "free" is in both statements? otherwise NO, I should not have to turn the set off at 8pm. Smut should not rule. OK? And smut dealers and perverts and addicts should not rule either.

So you feel it is your right to network TV all the time at no cost to you? I think all dating/reality shows are garbage. I think sports on TV with guys spitting and scratching is offensive- especially to a couch potato like me. I think the Miss America pageant is too racy - wher does it stop? We all watch reruns of Gilligan's Island.
I don't think a hooker talking about horse semen is smut- definately in bad taste- hardly pornography.
But standards do change and I blame CABLE.

Buy a DVD player and then YOU can control the programming on your TV set.
Just don't try to control mine
