It's Ten O'clock at night for God's sake!

At the moment of writing this the time is correct, I have just switched to a programme called Family Guy I enjoy both this and a sister programme called Family Guy.

Both of these are animations that are close to the knuckle with their humour.

Before each episode of these prog's an announcer tells us 'THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMME CONTAINS ADULT HUMOUR'.

I know this I've seen what they have done before and sometimes the progs will be on until 2 or later at night. always with the above warning.

Why?

An adult prog is on when there should only be adults up and about, surely?

If an adult is allowing a child to be up at this time two thoughts cross my mind.

1/ The adult doesn't care less and will let a child watch anything.

2/ The adult isn't present and the unsupervised child is hardly likely to think to itself, 'Oh dear I'd better not watch this then'.

So, is there any point in announcing, 'THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMME CONTAINS ADULT HUMOUR'? Anyone irresponsible doesn't care and anyone responsible has already tucked the little ones in to bed with a hot water bottle and a cup of Horlicks in plenty of time for themselves to enjoy Adult humour.

I like to know if there is 'adult' humour. This usually means that it isn't really humourous, but is based on lavatorial/sexual themes.
When films or programmes tell me that they have adult themes or violence.....I excuse myself and go to bed.
I am far to young (in my head I am only 14...and a young 14) to cope with adult themes.......and violence just gives me nightmares.
As I write this my other half is watching something with adult themes and violence which is why I am here doing this.

This is where we are allowed to differ, adult humour, often involves all you said, just because you don't find it humorous doesn't mean it isn't humorous, some of it is tongue in cheek and subtle that doesn't mean offensive. However I wouldn't allow a child to watch it, after all if a child laughs at sexual innuendo what has been going on to make someone so young understand?

Know what you mean. Before every UFC program we have the warning: "May contain violence." I damn well hope it does. And how about those signs on packs of smokes: "Cigarettes are addictive." Well, no shiite Sherlock ... I've been wondering for years why I buy the damn things. I wonder if the offerings on porn channels are preceded by "May contain nudity and explicit sexual content." Are these warnings necessary for a movie called "Gang Bang lV?"

a pedophile that is given free roam and often tries to seduce a teenage boy whom he has a fixation on

many distasteful remarks mainly aimed at jews ..This is ok as i think one of the writers is jewish

Yes, of course Less. And that is what makes the world interesting.
I have to say that I do make exceptions from time to time.
I watched the series 'Happy Valley'....Mainly, because I am a fan of the writer (Sally Wainright) and the actress Sarah Lancashire.
Yes,there were adult themes. Yes, there was violence, but it was all in keeping with the storyline and had not been put in purely to attract viewers.

I have also watched the 'Night Manager'.....some of it from the back of the sofa(I told you I was only 14 in my head).
I didn't appreciate the view of Hiddleston's bum while they performed the horizontal tango in the vertical plane.....but then that is just me. I would have preferred it if the producers had implied what was going on......again that is just me.

By the way the sister prog' is American Dad just thought I'd throw in a correction so folk know what to avoid.

Less, I am very choosy in what i watch. If I had my way the TV would be off most of the time.
Himself watches anything rather then press the 'off' button.
