...suggestive dialogue). FV stands not for family viewing, as I assumed, but for "fantasy violence." Used with these ratings, the V chip could be helpful to parents who aren't always home when their kids watch TV and don't want them viewing South Park or the Playboy channel. However, not all networks and cable outlets use the ratings. (NBC, for instance, has declined to use the content label.) And programs are rated by their own producers, which is something akin to letting Ally McBeal (TV-14DS) sit on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals...
...years Californians have been willing to watch a Japanese cooking show without English-language translation on an obscure local cable channel. The program, a sweaty competition among chefs given an hour to make a meal around a particular ingredient, was so fiercely serious that it provided entertainment aplenty. Now, though, the Food Network has fashioned it into perhaps the most exciting cooking show ever made, simply by adding a mix of dubbing and subtitles.

From mid-May through June 1, just a few weeks after the Littleton, Colo., shootings, New York-based pollsters Penn, Schoen & Berland Assoc. sat down with 1,172 kids, ages 6 to 14, in 25 U.S. cities. The poll was conducted for Nickelodeon, the children's TV channel, and TIME. Kids from a sample weighted to match U.S. demographics were interviewed one-on-one and without their parents in a venue where most feel at ease: a shopping mall. Pollsters also interviewed 397 parents...
...make fun of Hollywood. Just in case Ted Turner could resist talking chimps, the creators have the fake network run by a mean, stupid Australian mogul to mock Turner's rival, Rupert Murdoch. The real fear is that TBS's Turner might turn this show into an actual channel. Chimps all day may sound appealing, but you probably need some midgets and bikinied women to round out even 30 minutes of entertainment...
