"This is a family channel?"

Husband kept saying that last night, every time we saw a commercial for some show called "Falcon Beach."

We were watching a movie on the ABC Family Channel ("The Count of Monte Cristo" if you care) and every single commercial was for that new Beach show.

It wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the way these characters were acting. The kids couldn't have been more than 18 (if these characters are suppposed to be older, my apologies) but there's some girl saying to a guy:

"Can we be friends with benefits?"

Cut to them making out on a bed.

Hence Husband's comment about this being a family oriented channel. I mean, this is the same channel that has all those cute Christmas programs on every day in December. And now they're promoting a show with teenage kids sleeping with each other???

Why we even need these kinds of shows is beyond me anyway, no matter what channel they're on.
