The cable stations know what viewers like to watch. Look at the great success of The Sopranos". It basically glorified organized crime and had weekly episodes that included graphic violence, just about every word banned from regular television, and nudity.
Would a "Ozzie and Harriet", "Leave it to Beaver", or "Dennis the Menace" get any viewers in prime time?
Personally, I really enjoy "Modern Family".
In short, viewers like these shows! Hollywood knows what sells!
No agenda - just good business.

And that is the sad part of the equation. Because the viewers like the trash being peddaled it is the OK that it is exposing our young to a level of violence that none of us ever experienced when we were growing up. That continuous exposure teaches them, sensitizes or more appropriate de-sensitizes them to violence to a point where it has an acceptance.....a tolerance.
Do many of you think those who have done these kinliings are sharp enough to come up with these schemes on their own. Some...maybe. Most learned it from the movies, the television and the media......showing what the viewers like.
