It should be up to a parent to decide when to expose their kids to these things. Funny how people don't object to sex and violence being preached in our culture and things we sell to kids, but Christianity is socially taboo.
Where do you "expose the kids to sex, we're too uptight about it" parents draw the line? Hard core porn on freeway billboards OK with you?

Seriously, I agree about the billboards. Sometimes one can barely drive down a street with their kid in the car without feeling their child is being vicariously violated.
As to Christianity and broadcast - give it time. It'll come back - or at least some of it will. The entertainment industry goes through waves. Now we're in some ridiculous self-centered, self-reflective wave a la "Crash" where we need to point the obvious out to ourselves.
I thought family - not altogether "Christian" per se programming was big in the late-60s to mid-70s with The Waltons and Little House on The Prarie. If anything, those shows were really well written and produced, and demonstrated television can tell good dramatic stories about people other than cops and lawyers.
