Children Used In Ugly TV Bait-And-Switch

Back in March, USA Today television writer Bill Keveney noticed a marked increase in children being cast in primetime TV shows, as the broadcast networks focused on featuring families in their programs.
Keveney quoted Grace Wu, casting chief at NBC, long the domain of workplace comedies like “The Office,” confirming the networks had realized shows with families instead of cubicles attract a broader audience.
“Having children on a show, particularly if it’s a comedy, usually suggests it’s something that isn’t going to be too provocative, that you could watch with your children because they’ll see people that they’ll identify with,” Wu said.
But if these programs suggested they weren’t “too provocative,” a newly released study reveals, the suggestion was a lie.
According to research by the Parents Television Council, a full 99 percent of the “family” episodes broadcast shortly before Keveney’s observation contained some form of “adult content.” More specifically, 33 percent of episodes from shows about families contained violence, 81 percent contained sexual content and 94 percent contained profanity.
PTC analysts examined every major broadcast network, identifying 20 different “family” shows from the fall 2013 season through Dec. 31, 2013, and found them anything but “family friendly.”
