In the fifties an episode of Father Knows Best was not allowed by the censors to air because it had a scene where a toilet could be seen in the background. In the 99/2000 TV season an episode of leave behind and Grace showed Grace taking pictures of a celebritys toilet, one with the eyelid down, and one with it up. This is an example of the changing morals in todays video content. One reason morals are declining is shock value. spite value is a lower form of humour a great deal used in sitcoms to get a cheap jape of surprise out of the auditory modality. Statistics have shown that shows with high shock value, resembling Will and Grace, get good ratings. Unfortunately, something can only be shocking once. Therefore sitcom writers must constantly draw up with more and more outrageous situations and reactions to keep the audience laughing. Morals in TV programming have rock-bottom significantly in the last decade due to desensitization of the audience. A desensitized audience requires a more shocking show, which in turn desensitizes them more. The result of this downward spiral is sitcoms enjoyed by our children that would perfectly sicken our grandparents. The most popular show in 1990 was Cheers, in 1995 it was Seinfeld, and in 2000 it was Ally McBeal.
A comparison of these three TV programs will show how portrayals of sex, violence, homosexuality and other situations originally considered contrasted for the general viewing public have increased in number and severity in the last decade. This increase has resulted in a decrease in morals in lodge overall.
