Last Fall my nephews came to visit me. I caught them watching a TV-14 cable show. When I, the uncle, asked them to change the channel they promptly replied that they played some PG-13 video games recently as proof that they could watch this 'adult entertainment' show. Six and eight year olds telling me what is ok, etc. Scary, no?!
The channel my mom suggested they go to turned out to be airing Sesame Street. Next thing I see is some puppet dressed like dracula singing a song. Oh yeah, this is what they should be watching over that other show! A puppet with sharp teeth!!!
I left the room and their dad changed the channel again so they watched the history of the US being born, cartoon style. I think it was about George Washington that week.
Anyway, do you think 4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie and fanged puppets on tv are wholesome for children? Or any of those other 'nursery' rhymes?? I think the rating for the show should show up continually on the corner of the screen.
