there's not too much violence really, i'd call it realism....

one thing for sure, it's a shame that you can show someone getting shot, but not show boobs... (here in the states that is...)

I think the real world is more violent then whats on TV. It's shown on the news, so why is it bad to see on shows that are on TV?

I think last time I watched TV was 4 or 5 years ago. Last time I saw it, I considered it a hazard to myself...no idea what I'd think of it now, but probably the same thing.

I mean honestly, trying not to troll here, but damn it, I can't STOP seeing how stupid some people are. To the author,

How can you possibily start this thread and not understand the last.. umm 10 years in TV? Is this even a question to be asking? It's so elemetary to the issues that TV have made in people's lives.

Honestly, start interesting, thought provoking threads that aren't summed up in one "YES or NO" answer.

This thread should be killed.

Yes, but people don't realize it because it is a standard now. This is actually pretty sad because many ignorant fools subconsciounsly start to believe that violence is normal in day-to-day life.

Ya and everyone thought some foreign evil was the culprits of 9/11, but has proven to be just an excuse for ignorance... kinda like thinking TV isn't violent.. which in fact, it's never stopped since the begininng.

TV is dead anyway. There's no future in cable... anyone following marketing trends can see the marketing budgets cut over the last 5 years for TV advertising.

I'm such a grump

There is more violence/explicit material on TV after the watershed ( UK 7:00pm ) which i guess is ok. The trouble comes 'when i was a lad' we could easily stay up late if we'd been good and if Mum and Dad happened to be watching a programme at 8:00pm there would be little chance of it being offensive.

BUT NOW, as soon as the watershed is over they seem to want to cram in as much violence/ aggressive behaviour on the TV as posssible. Even during the daytime we can't have the TV on any other channel but CeeBeebies for fear of leaving the room and coming back to the news being on showing prisoners held at gunpoint buy terrorists/ or just every program seems to exhibit some form of aggression.

Only yesterday my boy (4) amazed my by wanting to say a prayer on new years eve and he said "thank you god for my presents, thank you father christmas for my helicopter, and thank you god for keeping the men with guns from us!" i was dumb struck as to why he came out with that when I tollerate little TV, but he has caught the odd hostage clip.

I'll tell you for nothing if the violence was restricted on TV and media in general it would be no bad thing!!

Absolutely. Too much violence, sexual content, and occult references. It is really hard in modern times to find suitable TV programs for children. The FCC needs to step up and draft some NEW decency regulations, not this softball stuff they have now.

I love how this last guys post suggests there is far to much violence on TV (which is true, cheers), and how his sig SUPPORTS bush, cheney, the two figures in modern history providing the world the BIGGEST headache with violence being their selling point.

lol

now that's ironic

you always pretty much new that it was fake but you believed it any how.

but with CGI as it is today ( and i would never want to throtttle it ) kids cannot differentiate between reality so easily.

bring back stickyback plastic and toilet roll aliens :alien:
