I agree with all the views presented on this forum, but there's one thing. When I was growing up, my parents still kept a tv, but when they thought I was watching it too much, I had to do something else. I really didn't watch TV too much, to be quite honest. I did alot of playing outside, reading, writing, drawing and playing videogames. Yet, whenever I watched a movie or something on TV that was bad .... i.e. sex, violence or drugs ... they would explain it to me and why it was wrong. TV isn't all bad for kids if parents moniter it and don't let their kids watch 3 hours of it everyday like mine did. I think if you shelter kids and don't let them experience some things they become potential rebels in their teenage years. There was a girl on my block who had very conservative christian parents who restriced her on ALOT of things, even though they loved her very much. She ended up listening to Marilyn Manson over being bitter to her parents for sheltering her so much her entire life. So ... basically ... a parent needs to moniter their child's television if they watch it at all.

i agree with everything said so far... but let me be the voice of the child that was raised by the tv... my parents both had full time jobs and made good money with that... but my dad was always gone with his buddies from the hunting club he was in and my mom was always of trips with her dad... so i was basically raised by my sisters and the tv.. my oldest sister is 11 years older than i am and she had no way of knowing what is appropriate for a 4 year old to watch or how much tv is good for a kid... when she started to drive she would go off with her friends and leave me and my other sister at home watching tv... the other sister is 6 years older than me and would always be watching whatever the oldest watched because she wanted to be just like her... but anyways... i look at my friends that actually had a parent around and some restrictions on them growing up and i wish i could be like them... they are happy and well adjusted to society and can easily accept their place... but i've grown up not so well.. i tend to see more of the negative in society because i grew up on tv... i still did some outdoor activities and i would write and draw and stuff but i grew up not knowing what i wanted to do with my life... i know people that their parents made them dance or play piano or a sport or something like that and they are amazing now... they have great potential in their field and even if they dont pursue dance or music or a sport they are getting great scholarships to college because of it... then there's me and i havent gotten any money for college because there is no one thing that i'm great at... and unfortunately there are no scholarships for smart people that can't do anything

The FCC needs to stop ******** around outside their scope an get back to doing the job they were created to do - regulating the frequencies and radio devices to prevent and deal with problems directly related to the mechanics of radio.
I liken it to a meter maid hauling somebody in for wearing neon green pants with a dayglo orange pinstripe shirt.

Seriously. And we don't even really need the FCC to censor anything, the companies can do just as good a job without them. I'm sure Fox recieved enough letters and emails after Janet that they are damn well not going to let something like that happen again.
And the Public won't stand for really out of line T.V. So it wouldn't be in the benifit of the companies to have it. I don't like all the sexual innuendos in most shows these days, so I simply don't watch them.
And I see no reason to pay the goverment to do a parent's job. Or at least let me take, doing my obligations as a parent, as an extra tax credit.

on a more specific note, one FCC regulation requires that networks have at least a certain number of kid or family shows a day, shown in the daytime. but the networks have been doing it right all along, without that regulation, the demand for children programming has created segregated networks like nickelodean (spelling?) and disney. if you kill the law, you may get more adult programming on WB or Fox, but, the demand will still be there. parents will flip around until they find something they want their kids to see.
this is one case where i'm convinced that capatalism prevails.
responding to DarkSakuraKnight,
it really depends on the intelligence of the individual. i remember a story about a kid who watched an episode Beavis & Butthead that inspired him to run outside into traffic.myself, i've been raised watching rated R movies since i was a baby, many times unattended, and i didnt turn out to be that much of a pervert .......... *deletes browser cookies* stare
