Thanks, PTC

The Parents Television Council is a watchdog group whose mission is to "restore responsibility and decency to the entertainment industry". Their endless complaints to the FCC have been grabbing lots of headlines in this post-Janet-Jackson era.

Ironically, they also provide a convenient way for kids to see the bad stuff: their website provides a handy archive of the Worst TV Clips of the Week, free for viewing by anyone. The page of uncensored clips also includes useful text descriptions of the tawdriness to be found in each. I, for one, plan to visit the site every week from now on. By the way, the "South Park" clip was particularly, uh, remarkable..(holy crap!)
