Never mind. Perhaps the only point we might agree on is the amount of violence and obscenity and just plain rudeness that is everywhere on television these days. Before I retired, I worked with children with autism and their families. Most of them watched "The Simpsons" as a family on a regular basis. I 've only watched the show once .....which was enough....but I can't tell you how many parents I talked with who couldn't understand why their autistic kids (at least the higher functioning ones) had become so rudely "mouthy".

If you think The Simpsons is bad (and I agree with you that it just teaches kids that it's cool to be mouthy to adults), have you ever seen South Park?
I watched it once and honestly didn't see the humor in a show where every other word is a profanity coming from a kid's mouth. If I heard my kids talking like that, they'd find out in a hurry what liquid Palmolive tastes like.  |
