Woke up in the middle of the night and started thinking about the stupidity of rating TV-shows.
For instance, why do Wallander movies have an F15 rating and air after 10pm when a show like Emily of New Moon is considered family oriented and airs at 6pm, right after the regular children’s program?
I get serious angst watching Emily. Would you let your kids watch a series where these are the main characters:
- Emily, her mother died when E was very little and her father meets a similar faith when he suffers a heart attack while standing on a roof. Bonus: Emily can see ghosts.
-Aunt Laura is addicted to opium. Bonus: you get to see her in a mental asylum – ice bath and all.
-Aunt Elizabeth dies at sea. Bonus: Emily is the one to find the shipwreck including dead people floating around it.
-Cousin Jimmy falls in love with a woman who has been a victim of incest – and is pregnant because of it. Bonus: We get to see her kill her father with a letter holder.
Stupidity was the word.
