I was extremely upset, frustrated and disturbed that abc "family" had "above the influence" commercials on during Full House. I feel like my kids can't watch tv anymore because there's nothing appropriate to watch. She's 4 1/2 and enjoys Full House. I know all the episodes and decide whether it's an appropriate one for her age. However, I recognize that my daughter is very young for the show, but the average audience for full house is 10-year-olds and anti-drug commercials are very invasive at this age. It's never too young to start talking to your children about not doing drugs but the commercials are very much targeted to 15 years minimum and are showing kids passed out or passing joints around at a party. Why do I have to watch a PG program with PG-13 commercials? I'm furious with ABC family as it is for the poor programming choices they've made. I guess it's not so much the programming as the fact that you're a "family" network with shows more inappropriate and adult-like programming that makes Melrose Place look like Sesame street. What has happened to TV? Ethics? I mean, have writers and directors lost so much talent that they just take the "easy" route to make each show about sex, scandals, drugs and teenage pregnancies just to boost ratings all at the sacrifice of our country's young generations to be subject to this false image that is so glamorized in your programming??? I was so disappointed to see where television has headed and especially being labelled under FAMILY- please regain your perspective of what "family" programming should be and PLEASE run appropriate commercials during those programs!!!!!!!! Otherwise please change the channels name to ABC Young Adults! Am I the only one who feels this way????
