I hate it when that happens.
Take the Sopranos - filthy language and occasional violence you can count on, but it's usually nothing more than that, so I'll watch an episode w/ my parents, no bid deal. Of course that one episode showed Tony doing his mistress about 5 minutes in to the show. I don't know how long the scene was, but if felt like 45 minutes.
Gavin - what's the story behind that avatar? I've seen it on other sites as well. I like it.
