Ditto. If I never ever saw The Rifleman, Hawaii Five-O, Gunsmoke, The Wild Wild West, or an old John Wayne film again, it would be too soon. I don't remember ever really having a choice about TV viewing, there were certain shows we'd watch and that was it. No R rated movies until I was well into my teens. I've never liked horror type stuff, so not going to see Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th never mattered.
Now, I wasn't allowed to watch SNL but can remember staying up and watching with the volume almost down to zero. I wonder if it was the show or the 11:30pm starting time that really bothered my parents?
