TV in Brazil!

As a parent, I really like that I can turn the television off in order to have family activities and avoid things I don't want my children to see. I continue to do this here in Brazil. Of course, it is harder here. The television industry here seems to have no idea when children should be watching tv! I admit there is some difference in culture involved, with children being allowed to stay up to all hours, especially at this time of year. However, I've noticed that, while there is good children's programming on at all hours, there is also very inappropriate material for children on at all hours. Pornography, heavy (unedited) horror films, etc. are usually reserved for the late night hours in the U.S. Here, they seem to be on whenever the station chooses to air them. There doesn't seem to be any logic to it that I've noticed. This doesn't stop me from trying to be a good parent in policing what my children watch, it just makes it harder.
