Do you let your child watch the Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad, King of the Hill and South Park?

Question

Or if only some, which ones?

Answer 1

yes. they love south park and so do i

Answer 2

I say let them watch the simpsons and futurama when they're 8 or so, but wait until they're in their teens to watch the others. Family Guy is an idiotic show to begin with. It will make your kid stupid if you let him watch it because he/she won't understand that REAL HUMOR COMES FROM PLOTS AND CHARACTERS not some stupid flashbacks to some pop culture reference that are interchangable and wouldn't be funny to anyone who doesn't know who those people are (younger viewers)

Answer 3

Yes. I am 13 and my mom and dad let me watch Futurama, Family Guy, and King of the Hill. I have watched the others and i couldn't really get attached to them. I also have 5 other brothers and sisters and they all watch them too. :I

Answer 4

No, it's moronic humor and I don't think it's appropriate for children let alone adolescents.

Answer 5

My 5-year-old watches "Family Guy" but she is not old enough to understand the nastiness of it yet. I wouldn't let her watch if she did. My teen watches all of them except "South Park" because I think it goes a little too far.

Answer 6

No, but my child is only 4 so it vvill be a long time before he can vvatch anything like that. Simpsons isnt that bad but the others are just kind of too "adult content" for a young child.

Answer 7

Simpsons is ok for any age, there is the odd sexual reference but it's not as bad as any others, for me I'd say

Simpsons - 6

Futurama - 9/10

King of the Hill - 10

Family Guy - 11/12

American Dad - 13+

But don't bother allowing Futurama, it's an awful show...

Answer 8

My 3 year old use to really like King of the Hill.  One day he said, "What the h**l?!", so we stopped letting him watch it.  lol

He's recently discovered Family Guy and I don't even like my husband watching that asinine show.  Its been blocked from the t.v. now.

Answer 9

No ... those programs have hidden adult content that children shouldn't be exposed to, it sucks cause it being a cartoon, it lures children in , I believe in keeping children, children as long as possible....

Answer 10

I don't let my kisd watch any but I the simpsons I think it's harmless, but the others are too adult like for them...

Answer 11

Dont ban them watching shows.

They will just find a way to disobey you

Its not about what they watch its all of the other things you do.

If they're young let them watch simpsons,futurama,family guy+king of the hill

I dont know what american dad is

Dont influence watching south park

Answer 12

no to all of them

Answer 13

My daughters are allowed to watch Simpsons.  Honestly, I don't see that it's worse than a cartoon like Sponge Bob Square pants, which is not allowed in my house.  We don't watch any of the other shows, so my children don't watch them.

Answer 14

I don't have kids, but my sister lets my nephews watch South Park. Her philosophy is that they are going to hear bad language sooner or later anyway, so they might as well get it out of their system now.

Answer 15

Nope, not one, Simpsons, Futurama, especially Family Guy and South Park not suitable for any young kids. Sorry, but i dont' think any responsible parent should let their child  (under 12 atleast) watch those kind of shows.

Answer 16

Nope I don't let my kids watch those shows at all. I don't even watch them either..

Answer 17

My dad let me watch all of those shows but south park at age 9. Now I watch all but South park, still. I dont really like it :[

But if my 7 year old sister comes in the room, I have to change it.

I was watching george lopez yesterday and they started saying ho and prostit*tu so I told her to change it.

Answer 18

My parents let me watch South Park and The Simpsons as a kid... They didn't 'influence' me in any way, I was already a pretty screwed up kid :P

Answer 19

We only watch the Simpsons & Futurama

Answer 20

My six year old has the option of watching any of those (except south park) but rarely does. My 2 year old went through a phase of being addicted to Family Guy but after watching every episode like 15 times I couldn't take it anymore and had to hide the DVDs.

Answer 21

*I* don't even watch those shows. They've not to my taste at all. I don't want my teens to watch them either, there are so many better programs to watch. But I did catch my son watching Futurama once. Some friends had talked about it, so he was curious.

Answer 22

I wouldn't let them watch Family guy or South Park. Amerian Dad is okay (if they're over 10), King of the Hill is okay, but it has cigarettes and beer. Simpsons is great. As for Futurama, I've never seen an episode of it, so I couldn't tell you.

Answer 23

simpons is alright, i watch King of the HIll. Definetly not South Park under any cicumstances and not family guy. I have never watched hte others.  I was just told Futurama is a no also

Answer 24

When I was 8, and my brother 13 he got the Family Guy series for his birthday. So....All summer we watched all the eposodes. I really didn't have a choice because he was older and got to pick what we watched. When my mom found out, she got mad but gave up because I act more responsible for my age. As for me, I remember thinking 'how odd'. I still remember one eposode and thinking 'Why is Peter naked on his bed watching a women on the tv strip down'. Although you couldn't see them naked, you got the basic idea.

The simpsons we would all watch as a family, and futurama my brother and I watched after all the family guy epesodes got boring. King of the hill I never liked. And the other two my brother and fellow class mates watch. I recomend you can let them watch them when they turn a specific age. Here are the shows matched to the ages in my opinion.

Simpsons.....................8

King of the Hill..............9

Futurama...................10

Family Guy...................11

American Dad..............12

South Park...................13

Answer 25

i have been watching the simpsons since i was little. my son watches simpson,family guy and american dad with us on sunday nites. we have also watched the south park movie. he never liked king of the hill and futurama is only on reruns at nite so he doesnt watch that one. my son understands that cartoons arent real! he also watches scary movies too! and watches wwe

it doesnt make someone a bad parent for watching shows like this. what makes someone a bad parent is if the neglect or abuse their child. not watching the simpsons or family guy. if you dont like them thats fine but dont go calling people who do or who let their kids watch bad parents cause their not. my son has never been in trouble, doesnt cuss, disrespect people or anything of that sort. he does good in school and is very kind hearted and caring boy.

Answer 26

my 2 yr old LOVES family guy, everytime it comes on she says 'my show!' i tried to see if it was just a cartoon thing and showed her the simpsons, but she doesnt like them so its just family guy
