Clearly they draw the line where they can without offending a huge portion of society. The two cases you cite I would imagine are a very very tiny percentage of society. So much on TV shows unmarried couples shacking up, I think even the small part of society that thinks it's wrong is desensitized to it, probably, and are not offended, though they might think it's wrong in real life. I am sure I am in this category. My kids, however, are not there yet - they ask questions about the human relationships they see represented. And since this is a discussion about the direction of programming on a network with the word "family" in it's name, I made that point. We don't watch the channel with our kids, it's not "family friendly" enough, frankly.
