Potioncat:
I'm with Susan on this one. I feel that anything that is broadcast in 
an area should be appropriate for everyone who would reasonably be 
there. That is, child friendly if families would be expected. I don't 
know anything about the show itself. When you go to the movies, the 
previews are supposed to be rated "for everyone." You would think a 
video store would do the same.

I've asked for the ubiquitous waiting room TV to be changed on 
occasion when there were children present. But waiting room TVs are a 
different matter. I'd like to have them banned completely!
