TV Family Hour Unfit for Children...or Anyone

From the Christian Post:

Once every 3.5 minutes of non-commercial airtime, the first hour of prime time is "assaulted" by violence, profanity and sexual content, said the Parents Television Council (PTC) in their study. During the 2006-2007 study period, almost 90 percent of the 208 television shows reviewed contained objectionable content.

Go read the whole article for specifics. There aren't many things I watch on prime-time TV anymore...and fewer still I'll let the kids be exposed to.

Remember the frog in the boiling pot analogy? I recall when I lived overseas for three years without coming back to the States in the late 1980s. When I got back here, I was struck by all the foul language and innuendo on prime-time TV. A lot more was being said and done than when I left in 1987.

No wonder our children are so poorly behaved, and no wonder they're so confused about life.
