Look, it's obvious from the marketing who the shows are aimed at.

Its obvious that shows or movies aimed at 7 year olds are not aimed at 40 year olds and vice versa. Its no obvious that shows aimed at 16 year olds are not aimed at 21 year olds, its also not obvious that the reverse is not true.

Free speech is great, I love it- but kids are different.

I don't really see it as too much of a free speech issue, I was pointing out the arguments some other people make. Unless its a legal restraint of speech or a punishment for having made some expression its not a free speech issue. If you or some religious right figure writes a stern letter complaining that kids are being exposed to graphic sex or violence you are not violating anyone's free speech IMO but some people disagree with my on that.

Tighten the rules about R and PG rated movies

What exactly would you do to tighten these rules?
