Freaks and Geeks

[susanmcgee48176]

Is anyone familiar with the television series Freaks and Geeks?

I guess it got good reviews.

I was in a video store with my children today and it was playing.
After hearing profanity five times, I asked one of the workers to 
turn it off. She mumbled at me.
It continued and five minutes later it featured a screaming match 
between a teenager and her stepfather, they were screaming 
profanities, and she was calling him a big fat loser. 
Before THAT, they were discussing menstruating during intercourse, 
and "walking in on someone."
I asked (again) that it be turned off. The manager responded "well, 
it's on television." And an obviously impaired teenager said "yeah, 
it's on tv."
As if that made it okay.
I repeated my request loudly (but courteously) several times, and 
eventually the manager turned it off. 
He seemed unable to understand my objections (there were children 
down to age four in the store).
Am I out of step? Wrong? Does anyone else think this kind of stuff is 
unsuitable for children?
Unfortunately, my children have heard profanity at school quite a 
bit, and the occasional DAMN from me and my partner (whereupon we 
have to put a quarter in the jar). 
But we eschew the words "stupid", "dumb" and "retarded" in our house, 
and we do NOT watch commercial television.

Steamed,
