it was 142 shits, actually.
what did get number one on that list? i’d like to watch whatever it was…
Hope you like pro wrestling, saepiroth, because it was WWF Smackdown!
I suppose I can understand what they’re doing. I like The Family Guy a lot, but it isn’t for kids, and if a parent is trying to figure out what shows he or she wants their kids to watch, and comes across the site, they can get some information about the content of the show and things that might be objectionable, and if I were a parent, I might use that as a first step to figure out what I’m going to allow my kids to watch or not. That being said, I sort of prefer a site like http://www.screenit.com, which gives the contents of movies that might be objectionable and is less concerned with things like boycotts and writing to advertisers.
What these assfucks don’t seem to understand is that the TV was not invented to teach morals. That’s what parents are for. If they (assfucks) don’t like the programming, they are entitled to change the channel, or, heaven forbid!, turn the damn thing off altogether. My kids (and I) watch Buffy. I must be one of those low brow Neanderthals they were referring to. No one was killed, no cursing ensued. If morals are properly taught and re-inforced thoughout childhood, then where is the problem with what is on TV? TV is to entertain, TV is an option. Stupid fuckwads.
Oh, Roswell is on the list of good shows for not having gratuitous sex scenes? Damn, must have missed that episode.
But we may be overlooking the view held by many fundies - that their own children will be just fine, thank you, and that they are only worried (as a Christian virtue) about the children raised by believers in other religions, non-believers, and stupid people in general.
I don’t share this belief but I think it motivates fundies more than the fear that their own children will watch naughty things and be tainted.
You can take away my Buffy the Vampire Slayer when you can pry her from my cold dead fingers.
Good lord, a injustice towards Family Guy? Where’s Otto?

“Boston Public” may have its good points, but I think it is both deeply flawed and inappropriate for children. I find the show’s treatment of female students is especially troublesome. I will admit that I do not often watch the show, but the girls all seem to be 1) evil, 2) sluts, or 3) evil sluts. A major storyline centered around a girl who seduced a teacher, eventually resulting in two teachers being fired. Another girl falsely accuses a teacher of assaulting her. Meanwhile, the cheerleading team practices a routine deemed too suggestive by the school’s administration to go to competition, but apparently not too suggestive to appear on TV. And another girl chronicles the whole sordid mess on her vicious webpage. Is David E. Kelly still bitter about some high school breakup or what?
It’s way more complicated that that. The girl with the website has delusions she’s a journalist and thinks her website will get her hired by some prestigious newspaper after she graduates. The reality is that only a rag like the National Enquirer would hire her. Also, it’s to show that today’s principals have problems they didn’t used to because of technology.
The cheerleaders’ routine was not lewd. I think it was there mainly to show that teens today are more comfortable with their bodies than teens in the past. It’s also to show that the assistant principal has DEEP issues about sex. (It’s been implied that he’s still a virgin.)
In one show, the principal admitted that the troubled kids were the ones he saw most often and he was starting to think ALL kids get in trouble. It’s the same with stories; characters without problems don’t make for interesting stories. Just like the principal, we’re going to see the kids who make trouble more than the ones who don’t.
Much as I admire your bold effort to boost the quality of this wonderful show, I feel that I must inform you that “South Park” didn’t make the list because it’s on cable. The list is only for network shows.
