TV Shows About Families Aren't "Family-Friendly"

The Parents Television Council released a report finding that 99 percent of broadcast television shows about families contain some form of adult content (sex, violence, and profanity).

“Parents often assume that TV shows about families are ‘safe’ viewing choices, but our study shows that families who watch TV shows about families will be barraged by sex and profanity – even on TV-PG-rated shows. This is unacceptable,” said PTC President Tim Winter. “Even on some of the more ‘family-friendly’ shows, there is still adult content such as pixilated nudity and bleeped profanity. Also disturbing is that adult characters aren’t the only ones ‘delivering’ the lines with adult content -- children are too.
