Demise of 'family hour' a product of gradual laxity in standards, says media study |
http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/09/demise_of_family_hour_a_produc.php
The broadcast television time slot once the home of Happy Days and
Little House on the Prairie is now nowhere near as family-friendly --
according to the latest "family hour" study from a high-profile TV
watchdog group.
The Parents Television Council (PTC) study says in the six years since
the last check-up on "family hour," there has been a 50-plus percent
increase in violent content, and a 20-plus percent increase in sexual
content during the weekday hours of 8-9 p.m., and 7-9 p.m. on Sunday.
The study, titled The Alarming Family Hour ... No Place for Children,
monitored six networks and also notes that while mild profanity
dropped during the six-year period, instances of extreme profanity
increased.
PTC's Melissa Henson says the continued degradation is a natural
extension of decreasing program standards that started in the 1990s.
"The family hour really started to break apart in the mid-90s with the
introduction of shows like Friends and Mad About You," she explains,
noting that such programs "were really geared to a more mature
audience and adult audience debuting during the family hour."
Prior to that breakdown in standards, she says, those time slots were
characterized by programs that families did not have to worry about
containing offensive material and could "sit down and safely,
comfortably watch together." She cites among those programs such
series as Little House on the Prairie, Highway to Heaven, and Touched
by an Angel.
According to a report in Broadcasting magazine, network program
producers consider "family hour" an outdated notion with the advent of
blocking technologies, specialty cable, and satellite channels
available for children. But Henson contends a majority of American
viewers still watch broadcast television during evening hours -- and
that, she says, makes family hour a necessity, which means networks
need to respond to the decency standard demanded by the public, which
owns the airwaves.

No one's telling you to pay for them if you don't want them.
Fact, but have you seen the enormous prosecutions and excessive fines of

That's like stealing a newspaper or a book. The words are free - the
medium isn't.
But, the level of the fine wasn't commensurate with the received 'product'
value.
So? What's the penalty for robbing $25 from a federally insured bank?
Actual damages are all they can claim.
Never heard of punitive damages?

Gotta be $25, unless you go with the treble damage award statute and then it
is $75, and I think the Bible says something about "if the thief be caught,
he must repay 5x" whch would elevate the damage award to $125.
And, how about if the money isn't recovered within say five years?
Theft losses are deductible in the current tax year, right?
Recovered losses would be accounted for as income if they are deducted.
SO, with all the rules, what would you say would be proper?
Imo, if the victim is paid 100 percent of their loss expeditiously enough
then the claim is settled.
Wouldn't that align with Moses, "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" tenet?
But, let's not go cutting hands off, ok?
That was then this is now seems to work quite a lot.
Actual damages are all they can claim.
Never heard of punitive damages?
Yes. But why are you into punishing those who can not pay the punitive
damages?
At best I would assume you could get someone to perform labor for the
institution, at compensation, and the deficit be deducted from their pay
until their debt was paid.
If they continue to steal from you, then termination and reassignment could
be proper; and, exile isn't out of the question if someone absolutely
refuses to cease committing crimes against the nation they live in.
Doesn't the USA have any islands they can use to exile criminals to so we
don't need to tax the people so much?
With all the foreign military stuff going on and the expense of it, surely
we coulda acquired new properties to use for an exile program.

Not even close. The penalty doesn't depend on the amount stolen.

If the money was recovered in the bank parking lot, the penalty is the

You are an idiot. The law requires PUNISHMENT. Repaying the money
you steal isn't punishment. Back robbery is a felony which merits
years in prison.

'Improved' to the point that billions of people aren't still adherent to it?

Well that's tough, but it doesn't give them the right to take someone
else's money.
Wanna be laid off
Get another job.
or addicted to drugs
Your choice - you make your bed, so you lie in it.
to the point that you can not survive without $25?
Then die. You made the choice to do drugs, no one made it for you.
Why should someone else pay for your choice?
Why are you in favor of the criminals?
I'm not in favor of crime.
You sure seem to be. You'd let someone steal because he needs the
money.
I am in favor of preventing it and opposed to excessive fines and excessive
punishments.
So how would you prevent a drug addict who got laid off from getting
laid off? Force his boss to keep paying him, even though he can't do
the work? That would BE a crime.

Just about anything showing on National Geographic or Discovery or The

House On The Prairie (and if you insist on filming a television series
in the Santa Monica Mountains, don't -- don't -- don't -- title that
series "Little House On The *Prairie*).
Reading books to your kids is a great way to spend an evening as well.
Relying on whatever pops out of a broadcast network channel to do
anything for you children simply underscores that you really shouldn't
have taken the step of becoming a parent.

You have to remember...as an impoverished Catholic, J Yo can't afford

The study, titled The Alarming Family Hour ... No Place for Children,

increased.
So, are these people too stupid to turn off the TV or just too lazy?
