I wouldn't argue with that at. Especially since my parents fall in this category. Sometimes these people are just nutty--and I grew up in that culture.

Well, they are young and I fall into the "overly protective" category. I look at it this way: now, and for the near future, is the time for me to protect/shape/etc. My hope is that when they leave the fold, they remember they way in which they were raised.

Kids are too young right now, they wouldn't get the show (and I have never watched it). Right now we are in the Blue's Clues, SpongeBob, Dora the Explorer genre. My oldest does like to watch reruns of the show with the Olson twins--the name escapes me right now.
As I said earlier in this thread, I don't give much credence to these types of complaints. I think it will end up backfiring on them like the whole Teletubbie thing backfired on Falwell (at least, I think it was Falwell). Most Americans (I hope) are smart enough to see that this is far from obscene.
