Glee club

I just read an article about Glee Club.  I could care less about the show sharing a name with a comedy club chain, but a single comment really stood out.  How could this be called a family friendly show.

Let's look at the ages of the cast.  Many of the supposed teenagers look like they could have teenage kids of their own.

As fas as subject matter, I've tried watching the show and was dissappointed.  I would never allow my kids to watch the show even when they are 17.   How is this a family friendly show?  Maybe an adult gay friendly show.  Even as an adult they speed too much time in the gutter to be interesting. A rating of 14+ is not sufficient.  Under-age children should not be watching this garbage.  It needs a rating of TV-MA.  This includes the commercials.  

Personally, I think the rating systems should be changed.  Look at what is including in the rating.  And we wonder why the high schools are getting more violent and sexually active.  We allow TV shows like this one that provides a guide to promiscuety and violence.   Would you want your kids to attend a school like this one?  What is this show really telling kids?  No wonder Cyber Charter schools are gaining in popularity.  No one wants their kids being exposed to this junk and its affects on the school system.   You reep what you sow.

What happened to the saved by the bell type shows?  Are we really this sick as a society?
