Censorship on TV
 

I don't post much here, so please bear with me. I was channel surfing and landed on Frasier last night at 7pm. Soon afterwards, I heard a character say "b!tch". I'm 21 years old and am not easily offended, however, I'd hate to have my little sisters (both under 11) to hear this on TV since they watch so much of it. I'm sure most parents feel the same way I think there should be a few words censored from TV.

I'd like to hear the forum's opinion on this

Ever watch "N.Y.P.D. Blue?"

Explain to me why it is detrimental for your sisters to hear the term, "bitch." It is just a synonmym for "mean girl" (and female dog obviously but I doubt that is what they meant given the context).

Why would 11 year olds watch Frasier? And where would your parents be?

my parents often don't supervise my little sisters TV. And I'm away for college most of the year

these kind of terms are not just on frasier

Well they might as well get a head start on learning how to behave.

Block the channel if you don't like it. The market should decide this. I don't want some watered down Walmart version of TV mandated because your parents are too lazy to control what shows their kids watch.

Your parents are the ones responsible for your sisters.
My wife and I have not had children yet because we don't feel we are ready yet. I wish more people would be as responsible.
