SF warns against Simpsons

The animated series «The Simpsons,» which airs during SF2’s early evening lineup, is broadcast with a warning notice at the beginning. The show is not suitable for children under 12, according to the notice.

According to SDA, this was achieved by a viewer who complained to drs ombudsman Achille Casanova that the series was not suitable for children. The woman was particularly disturbed by the broadcast on October 6, which featured a near-execution. The SF customer service also incurred the critic's displeasure. They told her that the series was very popular and also very popular with young children - the series was fine.
The ombudsman's final report from the beginning of November states that the responsible editorial manager apologizes for this information from customer service. He also referred to the efforts made by those responsible for TV to protect children and young people. After all, a minimum level of parental supervision can be expected. In addition, violence is completely exaggerated, satirically packaged and distorted into clownishness, especially in "The Simpsons". It has been proven that this is far less dangerous for children than realistic films due to the lack of realism.
The early evening program is generally aimed at young people and adults aged 15 and over. The children's program "Tubii TV" ends at 4.50 pm. However, "The Simpsons" was not originally conceived for children. For this reason, since last year their broadcast no longer seamlessly connects to the children's program. However, there is no crude violence or pornography in the series.
