What is Watershed (television)?
Today, [[television]] can show a number of programmes. Usually the content of these programmes is rated, by a number of people (usually called ''advisory board''). Some of the programmes may be suitable for children (of different ages), other content may not be suitable for children. The '''watershed''' is the time of the day where content not suitable for children may be shown. This is usually during the night (starting in the later evening, and ending in the early morning) ==Content that children should not see== The content that is not suitable for children to see usually includes [[sexual intercourse|sex]] or [[nudity]] outside a functional context. People bathing naked in a [[lake]] may be ok, people doing a [[striptease]] in a [[night club]] or [[cabaret]] may not be. Other content generally not suitable includes various levels of [[violence]] or the use of [[illegal drugs]]. Sometimes ''strong language'' (full of [[expletive]]s) is also seen as unfit for children. {{tv-stub}} [[Category:Television]]
