The problem too is that nobody is advertising shows properly anymore anyway... take shows like Glee and Modern Family, they're advertised as being family-friendly, yet both showshave a lot of adult-oritented and otherwise questionable content that really aren't appropriate for kids to be seeing... plus, the "TV-14" rating doesn't seem appropriate for a "family" show either (and how many times has Glee come under fire because of"inappropriate" conduct, both on and off camera?).A ratings system on Television doesn't make much sense anyway. I mean with movies or video games, parents want to be able to judge something before they pay for it, and that's where the ratings system comes in. That at least makes some sense. But with Television you're not paying to see every individual episode of a kid's show. You're either paying for TV as whole or you're not. So just record one episode and watch it on your down time to see if it's appropriate for your kid. Case closed!
Then again, there's also a problem nowadays that when a show is billed as a "family show", it's apparently because the show is about a family, not because it's family-friendly... again, that's another example of terms being taken out of context in recent years.
