The Parents Television Council is in outrage over CBS‘s new show title, $#*! My Dad Says.  The show’s title comes from the twitter account that shares the same moniker and was the basis for the new sitcom. Tim Winter, the President of the PTC, said, “CBS intentionally chose to insert an expletive into the actual name of a show, and, despite its claim that the word will be bleeped, it is just CBS’ latest demonstration of its contempt for families and the public.”

I don’t think it’s as big of deal as the PTC is making it out to be, but then again, I’m not a parent.  I can tell you that if the kids don’t learn it on TV, they’re bound to pick it up at school by the age of 5.  We can’t shelter our kids forever, rather let them know what’ right, and wrong.  Am I being too liberal about this?

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Ridiculous. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old, and that’s just ridiculous. Most kids will hear it at home, or like you said – at school, or out in public when some random adult has a temper tantrum. It is absolutely all about teaching your children right from wrong and that *gasp* there are some things adults say and do that kids can’t, and that’s life. Not to mention, I’m assuming it is slotted for primetime – it’s not airing at 10 a.m. on Nickjr – so get over it. And of course they are going to bleep it – last I checked the FCC is still around, and I can’t imagine the network is keen on incurring fines.

    “CBS’ latest demonstration of its contempt for families and the public” -

    Good lord. Give it a rest. I’m more offended by CBS pandering to that shitbag, Charlie Sheen. :-P

    We have way bigger fish to fry in this country than a network bleeping out an expletive in a show title. Their time would be better spent dealing with something that’s actually important.

    I totally agree with jjnoza. I’m a mom of a 5 and 2 year old (as well) and daycare once called asking who’s favorite word was ‘dammit.’. (That would be their father, thank you). Good? No. Realistic? Slightly. My kids understand there are bad words like there are “Mommy and Daddy drinks” they can’t have. Now if you put Charlie Sheen on the show I’d be picketing the Shitbag instantly…but my kids aren’t scouring the TV listings looking for obscure symbols they need to know about.
