If you can neither afford daycare, nor have family members or a spouse to watch your children while you're at work. You have far, far bigger problems than what your kid sees on TV.
Gee, when I think of in-depth descriptions, I think TV Guide.
Worked for folks in the pre-internet days.
Nowadays you could probably just Google it. Or hell, most TV services anymore come with an on-screen tv guide.
No, I suppose not, but solving one problem (the issue of not having anyone at home to watch your children) solves the other (by putting people at home to watch your children, you put someone there who can regulate what they watch on TV).
Poor people shouldn't have standards. beggars can't be choosers.
I quite sincerely have no idea what you mean by this.
Inane, you seem to be drawing the rather bizarre conclusion that poor people can somehow not control their children?
If you are so poor that you literally cannot have anyone in your home--at all--to watch your child while you're at work, you again, have far bigger problems than what happens to be on Nickelodeon. And again, solving one of those solves the other.

Mmmnope.
But this is all besides my point, perhaps I shouldn't have brought up using the TV as a babysitter.
My point was that it should be reasonable for parents to assume that, when they turn on the TV, their children will be exposed material they feel comfortable with them veiwing.

And I think it is here that you and I have a severe difference of opinion.
Granted. I think you should be able to turn on Nick Jr. and not see a hardcore porno, but, I don't think that it should be a reasonable assumption that anything that is a cartoon is for children. I honestly don't get where the assumption even comes from, because cartoons have been "not just for children" for a very long time. I can think back as far as Fritz the Cat, but I'm certain there are even older "not for kids" examples of cartoons.

I agree with you, to an extent.
But the problem is that what is and isn't appropriate is a huge grey area. Take SpongeBob SquarePants, for example--for a long time, my aunt and uncle didn't think it was appropriate. Fair enough. But when the network's S&P, a vast majority of their viewership, and--and this is important--the network's sponsors all find it appropriate for children, is it reasonable to expect that the network shouldn't air it based on the complaints of a few?
If my aunt and uncle want to keep their kids from watching it, of course, they're entitled to do so, but at that point it becomes their responsibility to enforce that.

I think that if I ever get good at drawing Legit, I'll make a little 4koma-style webcomic with her and some other WACKY CHARACTERS and it'll be amusing.
I've got you under my skin I've got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me I've got you under my skin
I'd tried so not to give in I said to myself, "This affair never will go so well" But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of havin' you near In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, repeats in my ear
"Don't you know, little fool, you never can win? Use your mentality, wake up to reality" But each time that I do just the thought of you makes me stop Before I begin 'cause I've got you under my skin
I would sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of havin' you near In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, how it yells in my ear
"Don't you know, little fool, you never can win? Why not use your mentality, step up, wake up to reality" But each time I do just the thought of you makes me stop Just before I begin 'cause I've got you under my skin Yes, I've got you under my skin

I wasn't allowed to watch about a dozen cartoons, several live action shows, and most movies.
One of the things about living in a Catholic household is that your mom finds Courage the Cowardly Dog horribly offensive.

TV is not a babysitter. Can't people understand that?
^ ^ ^ True.
What?

I'm kind of getting sick of zombies showing up everywhere nowadays.
Them and vampires. Suddenly our entire culture seems obsessed with the undead. Yet, skeletons still get no love.
We need some new Standardized Pop-Culture Monsters.
They can only sort of gently push people and hope they fall into something dangerous.
Plasma people or something.

Nothing important to most, since she's no longer on MLP and that's the extent of her work that the majority of people care about.
Which is a shame, because I think that whole Galaxy Girls thing is much more interesting.
Her name would suddenly be appropriate.
well the Faust part anyway. I don't even know what "Lauren" means.
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in
my heart that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my
skin
I'd tried so not to give in
I said to myself, "This affair never
will go so well"
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so
well
I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what
might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warning voice that
comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
"Don't you know,
little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality"
But each time that I do just the
thought of you makes me stop
Before I begin 'cause I've got you under my
skin
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin'
you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And
repeats, how it yells in my ear
"Don't you know, little fool, you never
can win?
Why not use your mentality, step up, wake up to reality"
But each
time I do just the thought of you makes me stop
Just before I begin 'cause
I've got you under my skin
Yes, I've got you under my skin
I cut class like I like swords
and if you ain't hard like the boulevard? Erase your boards.
