The FCC http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...raunchy-humor/ has been receiving complaints about 2 Broke Girls. This is family viewing time. With all the channels available to anyone sitting down to cable TV with a remote are the major networks being held to different standards? Should this be the parents responsibility ? Not the governments?

Exactly! Another word that our daughter uses to our grandchildren is "NO" you cannot watch that show. It is the parent's responsibility period.

I agree with Jenn Hoffman, quoted from the article:

"CBS has no obligation to only create child-friendly programming so your kids aren’t subjected to sexual suggestion, especially at night – and the FCC isn’t here to raise your kids," said L.A-based pop culture expert Jenn Hoffman. "Ironically, the same values-obsessed people who want the FCC to swoop with an iron first and regulate our airwaves are often the same people who want the Federal government to leave their speech, guns, heath care and churches alone. At some point you have to choose what type of country you want to live in and stick with it."

Use the remote and change the channel. If the parents like the show, use the DVR and watch it after the kids have gone to bed. It's not that hard, people, stop complaining and do something about it yourselves instead of witching to the FCC.

Start with the manufacturer of your remote. It must not be allowing you to change the channel

It is amazing how many people just do not understand this.

I've never watched any but 10 minutes of the first episode. It was so bad it hurt my brain. I've had my intelligence insulted before, but Two Broke Girls actually tried to stomp on it.

I haven't watched it since, but I do have to suffer through the commercials for it during other shows. Even those 10 second snippets cause pain.

Why do people watch this show? I think it may actually be written by the proverbial thousand monkeys banging on a thousand typewriters. But the producers throw in the laugh track to convince an audience it's funny.

I, too, have not watched more than the first few minutes of the first episode! And i worked for a CBS TV station at the time! Don't like something? Don't watch it.
