5. It's not the network's job to babysit your kids.

Chances are, parents that allow their children to stay up this late on a school night aren't the most conscientious of parents anyway. I'd bet those kids see worse at home.

The title "Not-So-Family Christmas" was a huge clue that this was not a "family friendly" form of programming.

This is not any different than what typically airs on Saturday Night Live on the same network (NBC) at the exact same time of night once per week, sometimes more when they air specials.

Kids see this much shooting and killing on Saturday morning cartoons. And in those it's not a dream sequence.

I am more offended by syndicated episodes of Two and a Half Men on CBS while I cook dinner, or the Prime Time version that airs at 8:30 pm. Or How I Met Your Mother...also on that network. Those shows are ripe with blatant sex, drugs, drinking, lying and stealing...during EARLY Prime Time.
