The Parents Television Council is blasting affiliates that broadcast The Oprah Winfrey Show for failing to properly inform viewers of the content of an episode focusing on sex therapy.
Last week, an episode of Oprah titled "Behind Closed Doors: Sex Therapy" was aired. According to the Parents Television Council (PTC), the show repeatedly warned viewers of the content of the episode before and during the broadcasts. However, the episode was rated TV-14, which means the episode was supposedly suitable for 14-year-old children. Dan Isett, a PTC spokesman, says such instances are easily avoidable. "Occasionally, talk shows like Oprah and other shows of that nature do delve into these very adult-themed and oriented types of programs," he explains. "But if you're going to do that, at least rate the show appropriately so a parent can make a good decision and block that type of programming if it's rated appropriately." The particular episode, according to Isett, should have carried a TV-MA rating for mature audiences.
