The conservative watchdog's new study, titled "Lewd by Example," found that 80% of primetime broadcast comedies feature adults saying sexually explicit things in front of kids. They include Last Man Standing and the biggest offender, A.P. Bio.

Years ago, I heard on a record by Stan Freberg spoofing censorship "The home is a classroom. Keep in mind the tiny tots." Unfortunately, networks and producers aren't keeping them in mind with all the sexually explicit remarks in prime time television as mentioned in the article. It's also true on Celebrity Family Feud where the questions have become a lot raunchier sice the show debuted with Richard Dawson as host in 1976. But Steve Harvey's reactions are very funny and that's also why the syndicated version of Family Feud has been one of the most popular game shows on TV.

It's more easier to tell a child the difference between real and TV violence than it is to explain sexual inuendo.
