Maybe if these parents spent more quality time with their kids rather than bitching about what's on t.v. they might create a more conducive social environment for them and their job as responsible parents might get a liitle easier, at least for the 99% below.

Absolutely the parents' responsibility. If you can't parent your child during their "TV time," there shouldn't be a TV time. Indeed, you likely shouldn't be a parent.
(Some might read this and scorn my harsh tone, but I kid you not: bad parenting--not our lack of education, our graphic TV shows, our evil music, our violent games--is the fundamental reason why a huge and growing proportion of today's youth (even counting individuals at old as 30) are ignorant, lazy, short-sighted, and are host to a number of other emotional, social, and psychological ailments.)
