Congress is a lot smarter than that, I think -- politicians with any sense are not going waste their time or re-electability targeting a number one show like Desperate Housewives. Remember Dan Quayle and Murphey Brown? Popular culture wins over politics.

More to the point, however, Disney, Fox, Viacom and their friends are way too influential to sit by while the government "bans" shows like Desperate Housewives or Family Guy.

I have to admit that groups like TV Watch remind me of Chicken Little, warning that the sky is falling down. Of course, after seeing the movie with my kids, I know that it really was falling, so my thoughts deserve a grain of salt.
