I have been frowning a lot at my television set and its precisely for the reasons you've mentioned. TV is now a free for all. You can cuss, show ways for one to risk one's life (and in a way indirectly encourage others to do so), commit acts of violence, have sex (the stories are like watching cable these days), etc. There's just too much going on!
So, I don't care for the trend. In this uncensored environment, there is just too much that children and society overall are exposed to. And people back it up by citing the Constitution's discussion of freedom of speech. I don't think this is what American's founders were thinking of. TV has become increasingly perverse and its difficult to find quality programming on any night of the week, IMHO.
