SIGN of the TIMES:TV's 'Family Hour' Not So Family-Friendly

Offensive content rises more than 50 percent over seven years.TV’s family hour isn’t so clean-cut. A Parents Television Council (PTC) study finds an alarming increase in violence, sex and profanity during that time slot. Shows between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time (7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Central and Mountain time) are supposed to be safe for family viewing, but the PTC found that since 2000, offensive content has risen 52 %.Melissa Henson of the PTC said the study found there was one instance of violent, profane or sexual content every 4.8 minutes during the family hour.“I guess it should come as a surprise to nobody who has been watching television that the family hour is no place for children," she told Family News in Focus.Fox led the networks in objectionable content. The CW was the cleanest network on television, but still had nearly 10 instances of foul content per hour.“The only really, truly clean shows, the shows that were most likely to be free of any kind of offensive content during the family hour," Henson said, "were the reality shows and talent competitions.”Bob Waliszewski of Focus on the Family's Plugged In magazine and Web site, said it's time for parents to take action.“It’s an overall coarsening of the culture and presents young kids who are watching this stuff with just such terrible role models,” he said. "It may be time for a few of us to write some advertisers.”
