Would you allow a 3yr. old watch Family Guy, The Simpsons or King of the Hill?

A friend was telling me that her 3yr. old dd like those cartoons, especially Family Guy. I am not sure how often she watches them but there are some cartoons that are not meant for young children.

 

[llghoney]

Absolutely not!

 

[JulySheMustFly]

Nope.

What on earth is she doing allowing her child to watch them? Family Guy especially.

Has she actually watched Family Guy before? Its an adult cartoon thats for sure. Its probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen but a child should in no way be watching it.

The best cartoons are adult cartoons. I do wish people would realise that just because something is a cartoon does not mean its made for children.

Better yet it would be good if they watched the shows to find out the suitability before allowing their child to watch it.

I don't know what time Family Guy is shown in America but over here its always after the 9pm watershed. Even then its edited. The DVDs are best to get the full experience.

No way!
Those are "adult" cartoons. My boys cannot watch them.
I have a friend who has a 5yr old and he lets her watch those. I just wouldn't allow it.

No Child, esp. a 3 year old, should be watching those shows.... with all the "adult humor".... it's just not meant for them..

 

[Leanna]

Nope.

King of the Hill and Family Guy - Even I don't watch so no way would my 4 year old.

Now Simpsons - yes - he's seen it WITH HIS DAD watching with him. He used to be "entranced" by it. Now that he watches other cartoons (age appropriate) he is not as interested in Simpsons. I don't think it's been on here in months. He'd rather watch Dora, Diego, Spider Patch or Backyardigans. He also likes the Dreamworks and Disney animated movies.

No way would I let a 3 year old watch those......actually those cartoons are of the type that we don't permit to be watched in our home at all.

 

[sparassidae]

No way

 

[Manna]

Absolutely not. However, I also don't let my 3-year-old daughter watch many television shows that are geared for her age. I'm very picky about what she is allowed to watch.

 

[K9_Trainer]

Well I watched the Simpsons since that age, but I think family guy or south park isn't as mild as the simpsons.

So simpsons, maybe. family guy and south park, no.

hahahahaha not a chance.

Even though I like all of the above mentioned shows They're just not ok for kids.

 

[jgonz]

I don't even like my teens/college aged kids watching those shows. I think they're crude and disgusting. However, except for Family Guy, DH doesn't think they're that bad, so he lets them watch them (in a different room, with no small children around).

 

[Neenie1]

I've never seen family guy, but have seen King of the Hill.

I don't even want to watch it. So no way would my kids be allowed to watch it. We don't watch the Simpsons either.

 

[-~Truth_N_Trust~-]

simpsons, yes. The others, no way. My 3 y/o loves simpsons.

I don't even allow my nine year old to watch those shows...much less a three year old.

 

[FaithLoveHope9]

Oh, no, no, no!!!

I am with you!

I don't think they are kids' shows and I actually don't think they are good for adults to watch either! I prefer to try and keep more "positive" input happening!

Funny, yes. Edifying, no!

 

[3girls2dogs]

Nope. DH and I don't even watch them ourselves.
