PTA reviews rate violence in TV programs and films
Mrs. Bassinger notes prime time network movies as the most violent viewing with CBS leading and ABC close behind. Several PTA cracked films include High Plains Drifter Walking Tall Diamonds are Forever Framed Moonshine County Express Posse and Race with the Devil. A 1977 fall review started the PTA ratings with a 1978 fall review planned. Violence in series fell from fall to spring while movie violence stayed similar. The PTA will examine sexual content in the next period.
