If they don't want them watching certain things, there are tools available to them that can block non PG-G things or whatever. It shouldn't be a producers job to make sure that there isn't anything a kid shouldn't see in their show. That's what the rating system is for.
The thing is that over half the things on TV these days either contain violence, sexual content, harsh language or some combination of them. There are only so many things that parents can lock and it can get pretty tedious to unlock each channel you want to watch only to have to re-enter the password once you leave the channel and return. Personally I would find watching some random movie with family and find that there were several uncencored nudity/cursing scenes. That would totally kill any mood and force someone to change the channel. I get how stupid cencorship can be sometimes, especially the comments that Koopaul and puggsoy made, but it really depends on what the cultural views of the audience is and whether something is acceptable or not and whether it should be pixelated or muted.
