Any age, but I guess we can start this at around eight-ish. If you had a child who was elementary school aged, would you allow them to watch 'adult' cartoons like Family Guy, South Park, Boondocks, etc., etc.? When I ten, I was watching the Simpsons. My mom hated it, and thought the humor was crass and in bad taste (at the time, it was 'edgier' than it is now) but because my dad loved it, I was given leeway to watch it too. By the time I was around 13/14, Beavis + Butthead were on the air, and I was a regular viewer of it.
My daughter watches all of those Sunday night animation shows on FOX, and she loves Boondocks; the latter of which I was sort of 'eh' on her watching, but don't stop her from seeing. On the flip side, I have a cousin with a son my daughters age (and a daughter two years younger.) They are not allowed to watch any of those adult cartoons. When they visited a few years ago, I overheard my daughter asking them if they watched Family Guy. The boy answered "What's that?" For a second, I had to question my parenting methods.
