House, 24, and American Idol: Sexual Content Assignment

For the sexual content assignment I watched my usual shows and found that there was very little if any in American Idol and 24, but House surprised me when I really was focusing on it. Nothing was shown, but it was talked about all over the place. This episode was especially bad because House and Wilson were having a little war about House's porno videos. It was totally awkward and I wish that it wasn't there. Sometimes sex comes up with patients when they are trying to figure out what is wrong with them. Really, House always seems to make some kind of comment about it. 24 seems to have a little bit of sexual content, either situations with rape or relationships among characters. In this case it was President Hassan's Daughter and his Head of Security. They showed them in bed (implying afterward). So I guess 24 sometimes does have sexual content, but mostly just crazy violence. American Idol is clean and I appreciate that. I think they should have clearplay for TV shows as well, then everyone can set what "setting" they want to watch their shows at.

  1. Think about how awkward it would be if someone walked in during the House, Wilson, Porn conversation. That happened to me. It was lame.
