PTC issues best/worst top 10 lists
The Parents Television Council has published its latest list of the best and worst on television for the current 2005-2006 season. ABC's "Extreme Home Makeover" gets the nod for #1. Fox's "The War at Home" gets credit for being the worst show. PTC was particularly disturbed to find that its three worst shows are being marketed as "family-friendly." Along with "The War at Home," PTC lists "The Family Guy" (Fox) and "American Dad" (Fox) in this notorious group. PTC's Brent Bozell said, "Families should not be deceived. The top three worst shows all contain crude and raunchy dialogue with sex-themed jokes and foul language. Even worse is the fact that Hollywood is peddling its filth to families with cartoons like The Family Guy and American Dad. These two shows have contained scenes in which characters are shown having sex and topics such as masturbation, incest, bestiality, and necrophilia are routinely discussed." Fox was the source of the top four shows on the Worst list, and took six of the ten slots. CBS had three and ABC's "Desperate Housewives" claimed the other. PTC selected only nine shows for its best list, and the shows were much more evenly distributed amongst the networks. ABC, Fox and WB had two each, with one apiece from CBS, NBC and UPN.
