The jungle drums of the Mommy Industrial Complex are rumbling
with complaints about Nickelodeon's change of lineup that is
putting more adult shows on much earlier than usual, especially the
Nick at Nite hit Glenn Martin, DDS at 8 p.m.
right after SpongeBob.
It's produced by Michael Eisner, ex-CEO of Disney, and headed
in the voice cast by Kevin Nealon of SNL fame and it bills
itself as a show for tweens and teens to watch with their parents.
My readers on the
Whoa, Momma! blog say this is iffy at best as a kids show. They
are furious that a show that comes on so early is full of sexual
humor, gross-out violence and has language like " w----"
and " b------ " in it.
They are not alone. The Nick.com message boards are full of
complaints. Yet when I talked to a Nick executive about it, he
seemed mystified. Said it's no worse than the George Lopez
Show, which has been airing on Nick at Nite. The big change is that
in August, Nickelodeon moved the Nick at Nite programming back an
hour to 8 p.m. (it's 7 p.m. in some markets) and added this
new, edgier show.

Report AbuseHaving George Lopez on at any time of day is enough to make me want to trash the TV.
Then again, I like comedians who are actually FUNNY.

Report AbuseAgreed with the ones above. Change the channel or, better yet, engage your kids in some activity that's more appropriate for the winding-down hours, like reading or board games.
If people parented their own kids and quit relying on the electronic babysitter to suck up their time and impart on them its dubious values, they wouldn't have anything to complain about.
