Sorry to be a necroposter...
I've been reading the transcripts from twiztv.com, and I'm halfway through Season 4.
Just from the descriptions (and the peeks at the screencaps on buffyworld.com), I'm constantly amazed that the FCC allowed this show to air in Prime Time!
I remember when they had to air Highlander after 11:00pm because of the implied beheadings!
They never showed an actual severed head.
On Angel... Boy! Ya got 'em being served up on platters, and tossed over the shoulder to crash through glass coffee tables, and rolling down conference tables when a lawyer "promotes themselves"!
My, how far we've come!

The way the real world is right now (we're in a WAR, for crying out loud) I find it pretty ridiculous that anyone would have a problem with the violence on a show like BUFFY or ANGEL. I'm not saying violence is a "good" thing, but you have to take into consideration what the violence is FOR...fighting evil, usually.
As for sex scenes, whoever said these shows were FOR kids, anyway? Just because the shows came from a cheesy, teenybopper (originally disguised as independent and thoughtful) network, doesn't mean they were intended for a young audience.
Please, I find 7th Heaven FAR MORE offensive.
