"Certain things rise above the normal rules."

I disagree. Put it on cable or air it in a later time slot. Otherwise, buy the DVD. This opens a can of worms and the last thing I need is a Spike Lee movie about "real life in da hood" complete with colorful linguistics aired in it's original form under the protection of the "Private Ryan Amendment".

SPR is not like those movies - you are well aware of it. It is a truly important movie, in that it realistically illustrates what a great generation went through to fight tyranny. Spike Lee and all that other crap will never compare.

It's my belief that, if a parent wishes to expose their adolescent to real history, then make sure it is real. As for a seven year old picking up the F-word from watching SPR at 10pm - well, with parents that slack, they probably know it anyway.

You have the power of the remote. If you do not want to see it, turn it off. Networks make there money on advertising. If there are no ratings, there is no show. Plus, no advertising company will not want their name with the "Real life in da hood".
