Yeah, some of the dreck out there is pretty bad. I know so many parents who just turn on the TV and leave it on Nickelodean or Cartoon Network with absolutely no idea what their kids are watching.

That being said, I don't mind a certain amount of mild "potty humor" for kids. At their age, it's what they're fascinated with and find uproariously funny. And our basic human foibles can be humorous.

Think of "Shrek". Yes, there was some gross-out humor, but don't think it went over the line or negated the positive aspects of the movie. It's humor on their level--I don't think the 6 year old set is quite ready for Oscar Wilde .
