I agree with minimum requirements but in the TV market I'm
located in that's
 not enough. I live in Miami, Florida. Our local affiliates are
extremely
 raunchy.  For the last week our local ABC affiliate, channel 10,

flipping channels.  We were caught totally unprepared.

to me, I would throw it in the trash.  The only thing my children
emjoy watching are reruns of
I Love Lucy and Jeannie and they a
