Unsuitable for children
The Parents Television Council has deemed Lost “Not Suitable” for children aged 2-17. This was not really a surprise to me since the show is filled with violence, suspense, sex, and all other sorts of naughty behavior, but at its core, I think the show has an uplifting message.
According to its website, “The Parents Television Council was founded in 1995 to ensure that children are not constantly assaulted by sex, violence and profanity on television and in other media.” I applaud an organization such as this. Children should be shielded from shows that are not made for them. I do have to question, though, the fact that this council listed Sunday Night Football as “Most Suitable.” Does anybody else find this odd? Is football not all about violence? And do our professional sports stars always behave appropriately on the field and on the sideline? I’m not so sure about that…
