Parents still don't like "London Hearts"

Tokyograph News · 05-16-2008, 03:37 PM

The National Congress of Parents and Teachers Associations announced the results of its annual survey on parents' attitudes towards their children and television.

One question asked them which shows they don't want their children to watch, and for the 5th year in a row, the variety show "London Hearts" was at the top of the list. It was followed by "Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!," "Crayon Shin-chan," "Enta no Kamisama," and "Shimura Ken no Baka Tonosama."

When asked which programs they want to show their children, the educational "Sekaiichi Uketai Jugyo" ranked highest. More education-themed shows filled the rest of the list: "Doubutsu Kisou Tengai!," "3 Nen B Gumi Kinpachi Sensei," "Heisei Kyouiku Iinkai," and "IQ Sapuri."

I think a lot of parents (and others) generally see it as trashy entertainment. A lot of it involves getting couples in conflicts, like putting people in situations to see if they'll cheat on their boyfriend/girlfriend. It's pretty popular stuff, apparently.
