[QUOTE=mhendo]  
I can’t think of anything especially offensive about _Monk_.  
[/QUOTE]

A main character with OCD and a single mom who, while she may be receptive to interested and interesting guys, is not dying to find a daddy for her kid.

I love both, but also know many people who find one or the other offensive (I find _these_ people offensive, myself).

[QUOTE=Captain Socks]  
Once again, I am ranting because I am a teenager, but I look like a 10-year old. So no matter how much I protest, they will probably drag me off to watch Dora and Diego y Boots or whatever the hell kids watch today. I agree with the bill and how parents shouldn’t have to cover their kids’ eyes the whole plane trip. OK. I’m done ranting. Thank you for your time. Mini-rant over. My first Pit thread! Wooooo!

So bring a book and read

[QUOTE=Voyager]  
I don’t know what you fly, but all the planes I’ve been on have those tiny screens over the aisle, which are hard to avoid. First class or international get individual screens.

[/QUOTE]

My flights are either short-hop (London-Dublin or London-Munich) on 737s with no screens, or long haul (London-Boston) on 747s or 777s with individual screens in all classes. I haven’t been on a ‘mid-sized’ jet in years.
