In 30 years, I would hope that content would be tailored to your specific viewing preferences, on your preferred delivery device, at a time of your choosing, and without commercial interruption.

Generally speaking, I think content standards shift depending on the flow of the political waters. For the most part, I think we're seeing content that would have been edited a few years ago, but language (especially slurs) are generally being phased out.

Too many to mention. I've got a folder full of funny bits and scenes that were unable to be approved. One thing that sticks out was movie that had to be edited. It's not as impressive as, "find a stranger in the Alps" but when I catch it on TV - it's hard not to laugh at the editing that was done to get it on the air.

I'll have to come back to this one later. The optimist in me thinks we're helping parents who may not be aware of risqué TV-14 programming, but the realist in me thinks the ad-supported television model is a dinosaur and there's little consistency in quantifying content under the various rating systems.

This would be a result of the FCC's interpretation of indecent content. edit spelling
