Title: Do we Act Out What we See on TV?
Topic: Does Bad TV = Bad Kids
Discussed by Dan Isett
with Parents Television Council

Part 1 of 2

Dan Isett, with Parents Television Council, discusses a new study which discovered that violent content on broadcast and cable television are virtually indistinguishable. The study also revealed that broadcast TV shows consistently underrated graphically-violent content as appropriate for 14-year-old children, even though similar content on the cable networks was rated for mature audiences only.

When will enough be enough? Kids and teens are acting out what they see on TV. Even adults are being affected! Listen in to hear more shocking statistics.

Children watching 4 episodes of the hit broadcast TV show Revolution during the fall of 2013 were exposed to an average of 91.5 acts of violence per episode. That is equivalent to a child seeing one act of violence every 39 seconds!! Revolution, rated TV-14, had more violence than all of the TV-MA cable shows in the study.
