All parent reviews for Frontline

Adult
April 9, 2008
 
An excellent newsmagazine
PBS has been known to push the envelope with some shows. In 1999, an episode of "Frontline" aired containing the f-word, along with other strong language, and suggestive content. Only private parts were censored. That episode should've been rated TV-MA; an edited version could've received a TV-PG, but even that is pushing the envelope. New episodes are very tame compared to that 1999 episode and cover a wide variety of topics including the war in Iraq and the media industry. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in current events, though most teens won't watch unless it's for school.
