When we were kids, our parents knew what we were watching. Families often watched shows together.The kids these days, or at least my kids, are 80% Internet and 20% TV. Internet means mostly Youtube... at least when I'm around if you know what I mean. There's also XBox Live which our generation also never had, not to mention texting. TV means ESPN and reality shows (e.g. Pawn Stars, survivalist shows, maybe even Jersey Shore [which I hate]). Maybe it's different with girls. Anyhow, the point being it's much tougher these days to monitor what they are seeing and react accordingly. OTOH, I would think it also much tougher for a TV show to be able to push an agenda on kids when they no longer are a captive audience. And even still, all those early 60s shows with women being relegated to being supporting housewives didn't affect the woman's lib movement, and perhaps even hastened it. So who really knows what to make of anything while it's happening. - Jeff
