    ...and don't forget "Malcolm in the Middle". Best US series for ages, sort of like a live-action Simpsons but better. The mum (sorry, mom) is just awesome! I've just got the R1 DVD boxed set - highly recommended :) "The folly of man is that he dreams of what he can never achieve rather than dream of what he can."

    After reading something like that, it just makes me glad I never started drinking. And I thought I was getting wasted playing games on my PC to the wee hours of the morning. The result of which was a repentant spirit, at least for a few months.

    Kaßl wrote: but does it really affect the children if they see a naked body ? I see your point, and I don't think it matters much. Of course depending on how the bodies are shown. A man and woman naked, simply embracing, to me is perfectly natural and healthy, and I can not imagine has a negative effect on a child whatsoever. In fact, sheltering them from this is more damaging in the long run, I believe. It should be taken in context, not a flat out ban.
