Parents: What are some movies/tv shows that you won't let your children watch?

Well, as I kid I watched Friday the 13th when I was about 12 I think, lol. Horror movies have never, ever scared me though. I started watching R horror movies when I was about 13...

Anyway, for my daughter I wouldn't let her watch horrors until she is at least 13, and even then it would only be like the Halloween movies, which are pretty funny in my opinion...:p.

When she's 14-15 she can start watching the scarier movies, and see what she thinks of them, it depends how scared she gets.

For TV shows, my daughter (who is 2) isn't allowed to watch Family Guy, South Park, The Simpsons or any dramas really, I don't want her subject to swearing.

When she is about 8ish I will allow her to watch The Simpsons and a few dramas such as Neighbours, which doesn't have really any swearing.

She can start watching South Park and Family Guy when she is about 13, as well as other dramas.

I don't care for the family guy at all, I think it more than pushes the envelope. The simpsons isn't real bad i agree but it does have it moments as well.

Now I don't guard the tv like a police woman, but I pay attention to what they are watching, and then tell them you know what I really didn't care for this show, and why I didn't care for that show. I don't like some of the shows on mtv either, and they are aware of that.

I really don't worry much, because like right now I am in the living room and my 17 year old has it on the disney channel, she is the only kid home (other 2 at other parents). So it normally stays on the disney channel, svu, designer shows, or music stations, fox for americna idol, or headline news.

I think you can't ban everything, but give them the knowldege to say well my parents wouldn't really approve of this message, so they get up and turn it themselves. This is only for regular type shows on tv, this doesn't include r movies or worse , those should all be montiored closely, and not be seen,until age approiate

I have 4 daughters, ages 8, 5, 3, and 1. They can't watch shows like those dating shows like Rock of Love or Flavor of Love on MTV, any horror movies, or Family Guy, South Park, etc.

Of course, having restrictions is just good parenting in my opinion.

I wouldn't let my children watch anything R rated until they were around 12. I don't know too many shows on TV that I wouldn't allow but anything like America's funniest home videos, or nip/tuck would be unacceptable before teen years. I think that a flat ban on movies and TV based on rating doesn't make sense...I will try to preview whatever my children want to see or at least try to find out about it first.

My kids are grade school age but they can't watch Simpson's or Family guy or anything on MTV, anything late night or anything scary.

You know what, though? My husband and I went to see Freddy vs Jason when it came out, and the whole theater was PACKED with kids ages 5 to 10. I cannot believe it. It had scary and perverted scenes every ten minutes.

I am, apparently, a weird parent. I let my kids watch horror films, most PG-13 and R stuff (provided no sexuality, if it's just language and scary stuff it's fine).

The "teen" shows on Disney and other channels, however, are expressly forbidden. They're awful and my girls do NOT need Miley Cyrus telling them what they should aspire to. I'd rather them watch more adult television and have positive, strong adults as television idols, not a wannabe popstar of questionable ethics and poor taste.

They sometimes see Family Guy if my husband and I have it on, and I'm actually far more comfortable with them seeing that than the shows aimed at preteens about kids doing stupid stuff. They're old enough to know the distinction that cartoons aren't reality - they know that when the roadrunner drops an anvil on coyote, that that doesn't really happen. They get that Brian the talking dog isn't real, and thus isn't to be taken seriously or imitated, just like they know it's ridiculous to drop anvils on other living beings. The line between reality and fiction is clear enough.

But what concerns me about these preteen aimed TV shows with real actors/actresses that aren't really good role models is that the situations and plotlines aren't ridiculous enough for young kids to wholly differentiate between reality and television. Sure they know it's on TV, but kids their age don't really understand that real teens don't act like or live like that.

It relies upon on the call of the character. There are names i like that have been motivated with the aid of books or video clips (whether it does not be "after" that character) Lucy (from the peanuts caricature) Josephine (from little women human beings) Scarlett (from long previous with the wind) Phoebe (from charmed) Alice (from alice in wonderland) it ought to be it particularly is the place I first heard the call, or particularly grew to advance into accustomed to it and went-howdy, it particularly is a sturdy call. i think of issues like that impression many human beings (Emma grew to advance into very conventional after the toddler on pals advance into named this) Now, if its a special character call or a recognition strongly linked with a character it particularly is a various project (i like the call Harry yet there is too lots association with Harry Potter to apply it top now IMO) Likewise, i does not use Hermione, Severus, Draco, or Albus-too ordinary and clearly related to the tale.

so far, I just make sure my son doesn't watch anything too violent, disturbing, or gory. I avoid letting him watch most preschool shows, as they are very manipulative, introduce some poor morals, or are just too babyish for any child. I let him watch family guy with us, and sometimes the simpsons.

My children are 4 and 2 sometimes i catch my four year old daughter watching I-Carly or 16 [some cartoon i don't like her watching]. I sometimes don't let them watch sponge-bob. They can be inappropriate like them getting drunk om ice cream, and i don't like the word idiot which sponge-bob uses a lot.
