Thanks for all of your suggestions! Well, it's not as bad as a rated R movie, but I'm just so upset as to why society is so corrupted nowadays. All these teens like to watch are shows that are more "mature", but I think the definition of "mature" has been horribly altered over a long period of time. I couldn't really suggest a show I liked because I don't really watch TV series, I just like to watch younger more appropriate shows. Anyway, I'll see if I can make it through this project a live. Thanks again though!

You never answered the question:

What is the show that your team chose that you feel is offensive. Title of the Show, Channel it is on, and why you find this offensive.

Have you been talking to my wife? She's usually the only one who laughs. Well, she and my 14-year-old.

Maybe Tayo is afraid we weill tell him/her it is not an offensive show.

Tayo, there are incredible numbers of TV shows that I do not watch and even more I will not let my daughter watch (lol). There are people who feel that 'immature' shows like Dora and Spongebob are innapropriate. If you will name the show and why you feel it's offensive, we may be able to help you with your phraseology so you can approach the teacher and/or add it into your project. If you want to take a stand, and it's a 'bad' show, we WILL help you.

Three pages and no one mentions talking to parents.

What did your parents say when you spoke to them about it? They should be involved in this decision of how to handle your concerns.

Not so, Beefche. Here's a post on Page 3 asking her about her parents.

I figured it was a teen in college. My high school doesn't have a film-oriented or media-based class, but the college I attended did.

If it's 90210, Gossip Girl, Melrose Place, One Tree Hill, etc...I wouldn't want to watch them either. But I am curious too about which TV series the OP is talking about.

ha ha, vort.

The profile says he/she is 14 y/o. Even if he/she is in college at that age, parents should be involved in this type of discussion.

I, personally, don't care what the show is. I am uncomfortable with some TV shows that many, many others (including faithful Christians) absolutely love. It's a matter of personal choice and personal standards.
