Last week I heard a couple of 9-11 year old boys talking about TV. Then I heard “Which do you think is better Two and a Half Men or The Big Bang Theory?”, the other boy enthusiastically gave his answer, but I was still taken-a-back by the first question to hear the answer.
I’m not too familiar with these show, but I thought that Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory are aimed at a much older audience. Perhaps those who are familiar with these shows could fill me in.
Maybe I am just a TV prude!

i absolutely cannot stand the programme 2 and a half men! i can’t think of a show more denigrating/sexist towards women….it’s absolutely not a show for children from the little bits i’ve had the misfortune of watching…so there’s my mini rant for the day ha!
I’ve seen maybe two, three of both of them & I think they have adult humor& sarcasm that’s not good for kids to be exposed to. Way too sexual. Life isn’t all about dating & fancy cars. not all mothers are mental… etc.
We haven’t owned a TV in years, so I wouldn’t know what “the norm” for kids to watch at that age is these days. I saw the shows at a friend’s house (no kids with me).
You are so NOT a TV Prude. I agree with you…. I can’t believe what some kids my daughter’s age watch (she is 9). Don’t parents care anymore about protecting children’s Innocence? Seriously just 20 years ago… it was the BRADY BUNCH I was watching!!
Nope, don’t think you’re a prude. Or, if you are one, I’m right there with you! I don’t think either of those shows are suitable for 9-11 year olds. What happened to letting kids be kids? The sexual innuendos are far too much in both of those programmes, IMHO.
I am such a TV prude that I think almost EVERY show on TV is too old for children. I took my kids to a kid movie the other day and was disgusted by the previews (of KID shows). High five from one prude to another.
I am a tv prude too. I’m constantly shocked at what my kids’ friends say they watch.
