Shame on KTLA for airing adult animation during after-school hours

Shame on KTLA for airing "Family Guy" weekdays at 6PM. I just sent an email to the station managers appalled at their programming decision to broadcast an adult-themed cartoon so early in the evening when children may watch. Right now on January 14, the episode has cheerleaders taking off their blouses and kissing in a fountain - and this is just one scene amidst a slew of sexually provocative images meant to entice the misogynistic pervert Quamire.

Programmers seem to take for granted how far animation can take sexually-charged material and create images that can be even more loaded than anything real. I encourage other KTLA (channel 5 Los Angeles) viewers or those in cities where "Family Guy" airs on CW affiliates during the day, to contact your local station managers and comment on this situation. Despite the fact that a "viewer discretion" message appears briefly before each episode, what child is constantly monitored?

Also, KTLA has a history of airing intelligent cartoons such as "Animaniacs". I fear parents may not be aware of the adult content of "Family Guy" and trust KTLA to air animation that's more considerate of their viewers - especially at such an early time slot as 6PM.

"Family Guy" does have some humorous moments. However, these are murked by the sludge of sexual jokes created by a largely male (if not only) group of writers.

If KTLA chooses to keep the show, so be it. But air it at midnight instead of "Everybody Loves Raymond" which should be moved to 6PM - I mean, come on! As it is now, "Family Guy" has much more sexual content than the pared down PG version of "Sex and the City" which KTLA airs at 11:30 PM.

I like KTLA and am an avid Morning Show fan. It's a wholesome family program that surpasses every other local and national morning news show out there. If KTLA chooses to continue airing "Family Guy" in its current time slot, however, I will have to take my allegiance elsewhere.
