Taboo TV That's Become Tolerable
It seems that almost anything goes on television these days. Words that warrant having your mouth washed out with soap, revealing outfits, subject matters that make you blush..it is all out there. Whether it is 11:00 in the morning or 11:00 at night, it doesn't seem to matter. Kids are being exposed to more inappropriate content than ever before and parents are at a loss. On January 1, 1997, the parental ratings went into effect. This was supposed to help monitor what your family could watch without the fear of being exposed to "bad" grown-up stuff.

Must Read Books for ‘Stranger Things’ Fans
If you’re like most of humanity, you are either in the midst of binge watching Stranger Things or you have finished up and left wondering “WTF?!” If you aren’t part of the above groups, GET WITH THE PROGRAM PEOPLE! If it wasn’t Eleven’s story, Dustin’s toothless banter, or the Upside Down that kept you coming back for more at 2:00 AM when you were supposed to be sleeping, it was the friendship among the young boys, the twisted story line and the Christmas lights.
