You make a very well thought out point.

I agree completey, you should be the president of television.

Thanks Optimist Prime, maybe I should...I think that I like that title

[i]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. [/B]

And MysticCat, I dont think that groups like TV Watch are overreacting and thinking that "the sky is falling"... they are out there to inform parents of other ways to censor kids television viewing without getting the gov't involved like setting parental controls, etc...yes, you might have faith in the government but it is groups like the PTC that is pressuring the gov't to make a change and they want these shows modified or off the air.

All I am saying is that yes there needs to be censorship but I think that it should be done in the home by the parents and not by the government. As Optimist Prime said eariler, I dont have faith in congress either because they could be really uptight and not want shows like Desperate Housewives out there, you know? TV programs have done so much already in fear of being fine...like the incident where "One third of the country wasn't able to watch Saving Private Ryan over Veteran's Day when stations declined to air it because of fears of action by the FCC."

Anyways, I think that we as americans have the right to watch what we want and not have the government telling us what we can and cannot watch and that is why I have signed tv watch's petition so if you agree, you should sign too
