I strongly disagree with Raymond being on the top 10... the show is more often than not about him trying to get some from his wife, and she turning him down. Ray and his wife obviously hate each other, and I just don't see this as a family freindly show. The children are usually an afterthought if mentioned at all, etc etc etc... Definately don't think this is a top 10 family friendly show.

On least family friendly... I don't know if I'd agree with that 70s show being on the list... yea it infer drugs and sex.. so I agree its not for the young ones... but I don't see it as anti family. Not a strong family values show certainly but there are much worse out there.

Top 10 worst for me would be all the reality shows that revolve around picking a mate and/or testing ones relationship with temptations... as well as the ones that hinge on betraying and lying to your family and friends in order to get the winnings. Those shows would fill up the top 10 all on their own, and definately send the wrong signals to everyone about what family is about.

I wholeheartedly agree! The only "reality" show I watch is Survivor (I think I like to watch human behavior under pressure). My wife really eats up "The Bachelor" and similar shows, but she won't watch the "tempted to stray" shows. I leave the room when the "find your mate" shows come on and watch Scarborough Country or some otner such show in my den. This generally works out okay since she doesn't like political TV ("too many people yelling at each other"). It works.

I believe I would break up with someone for seriously suggesting we go on such a show.

Having grown up during the seventies, I really wanted to like That 70's show, but it's just not particularly funny.
