Family Guy Pushing Limits

Family Guy....hilarious, drop-dead funny, and ridiculous are three words that come to mind when i think of this show. Family Guy is known to push the limits of it's humor and do some ridiculous things on the thirty minute show. However, Fox is getting bolder in pushing the offensive content into the living room of American households. The animated comedy has recent episodes that have the daughter (Meg), showering with the father( Peter) after Meg returns from jail. The show caught criticism as some felt it was suggesting that fathers are in a wrong way attracted to their daughters. The episode also included a mother coming on to a 14 year old and a dog coming on to an infant, absolutely ridiculous circumstances. Some parent's feel its wrong as Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut are choosing to pay for it with their advertising money. The show pushes the limit with every week it comes out.
Why should we care about what Family Guy puts on the Fox channel? For a few reasons. Fox, is one of the biggest news channels, and during these news broadcasts, advertisers are advertising their favorite show. The show is a huge hit in American homes, and our kids are watching these shows and learning from them. I mean, i understand that it is just a show...but the average kid watches two or more hours of television per day. I don't even think the show is bad if the person watching is old enough to understand the jokes they do. But, If our youth is watching and observing ridiculous behavior, how can we be so sure that they aren't taking notes? Also, the media pushes Family Guy onto the audience. It's played at quite a coincidental time, usually being around seven or eight at night. What i mean by this is, football practices are done, homework is getting done, or dinner is being served. So, like a lot of American families, they like to turn on the tube as they eat. Our youth is being swallowed by some shallow humor.
It is inevitable that children will come across material that is not suitable for them. But i do think they should have the choice to do so. Fox pushing these shows upon them will not help them in the long run. Our youth is already subject to so many other things, i don't think it will necessarily kill them, but Family Guy does promote violence....Bid our youth good luck as i will!
