Watching sexy TV shows could make teens pregnant

It's bad news for parents of teens who watch current TV series! A recent study by the RAND research organization has shown that viewing sexy TV shows can lead to risky sexual behavior and early pregnancy to teens.

"Our findings suggest that television may play a significant role in the high rates of teenage pregnancy in the United States," said Anita Chandra, a behavioral scientist who led the research at RAND, a nonprofit research organization.

"We're not saying we're establishing causation, but we are saying this is one factor that we were able to prospectively link to the teen pregnancy outcome," Chandra said in a phone interview.

The researchers recruited adolescents aged 12 to 17 and surveyed them three times between 2001 and 2004, asking about television viewing habits, sexual behavior and pregnancy.

In findings that covered 718 teenagers, there were 91 pregnancies. The top 10th of adolescents who watched the most sexy programing were at double the risk of becoming pregnant or causing a pregnancy compared to the 10th who watched the fewest such programs, according to the study published in the journal Pediatrics.

The study focused on 23 popular television programs that included dramas, comedies, reality programs and animated shows. Out of these, comedies were the ones that had the most sexual content (and reality programs the least).

What's more concerning is that in these shows, we almost never get to see the risks, responsibilities and negative aspects of sex. So it's no wonders that teenagers are rarely getting information about STDs or pregnancy.

"King of the Hill" could be renewed at ABC

Canceled animated series "King of the Hill" could be renewed at ABC. The network is thinking about having "King of the Hill" as a companion for its next animated comedy "The Goode Family" (that comes from the same "King" co-creator Mike Judge).

While a possible pairing of "King" and "Goode" would make a lot of sense for ABC, creating such an animated block would be difficult logistically.

It takes nine months to produce new "King" episodes. So while "Goode" is slated for midseason, "King" won't be ready until next fall. If ABC orders "King" and "Goode" flops, it's left with an expensive cartoon next fall with no partner.

Another option for "Hill" is to move to cable. But between the animation and voice talent, "King" is considered pricey and probably too rich for a cable network, such as Adult Swim.

If ABC were to pick up the show, it would mark the second series to change broadcast networks in the past year -- the first being "Scrubs'" move from NBC to ABC. ABC also expressed interest in CBS' "The New Adventures of Old Christine" when the show was on the bubble last year. All three titles are half-hour shows, a format the network has had some difficulty programing.
