   I wonder if that 'geater than ever' is related to the high content of   
   LGBQ+ characters? In general whether a movie is good or bad is in the   
   eye of the beholder, and how do you rate that in a general way other   
   than by box office returns? (Difficult for made for TV movies..)   
      
   EV>When I am watching a movie on TV, if it is rated TV-14 I go to imdb.org   
     >to see what Rating that website says the movie was released as.   
     >Many many TV-14 are not PG-13 they are rated R.   
      
   I haven't seen many movies on regular TV that would gain an R rating for   
   much more than swearing. In Canada, in the past anyways when I was paying   
   more attention, they used to show movies with swearing in them and until   
   I think 10pm the swearing was blanked out, but in the same movie after   
   that time it wasn't blocked anymore.   
      
   In any case I'm sure kids hear worse words at school than they'd   
   ever hear on TV.   
      
   As for nudity, it's so rare to even see a butt or boob that it's   
   not something likely to warp young minds. Of course I guess there   
   are scenes that may not show anything but it's obvious the characters   
   are going to have sex, even if next to nothing is shown.   
      
   We can't have our kids knowing that people have sex..   B)
