I am a parent of two elementary age children who take showers at 7:30 and have tv time before bed.
I myself liked Friends in its day and can see reruns at 11:00 on other channels if I wanted to.
But I totally disagree enough to write to you about your choice to put on this mature content show at such an early time. My children do not like it and lets face it your channel was the kids shows. Do you think adults are tuning into this channel?
I believe the content toooo mature… There having babies sex these are adult characters…do you not care about my children or the other children out there? Maybe there should be a vote by parents or children. The age watching this channel are around 10. Do you take your child to R rated shows.
This was a channel I could always feel safe and could rely on for kids programs….do not let us parents and children down….
Please stick to appropriate aged shows as you always have.
Please consider putting this show aside or later like 11pm or hey leave it to the other 20 channels already airing it over and over.
Thank you for taking the tome to read this

I’m a 15 year old girl. A sophomore in high school.I will admit that I’m not an angel. I do cuss and say some innapropriate things as jokes to my friends, but this show is just plain wrong. I really couldn’t believe that this show was on Nickelodean. I still can’t believe it. I was watching nick after school while I was doing my schoolwork. I wasn’t really paying attention to what I was watching. I heard the show in the back of my head. I thought I was watching mtv or comedy central. When I saw I was watching nick I was upset and angry. My younger cousins talk about this show a lot. They like it. I think it’s sending a wrong message to children. It should NOT be a kids show. It’s ridiculous. There is sex, violence, cussing, and racism. I just can’t believe this can air on tv. nonetheless a children’s network. I would really love to see this show get cancelled or something.

Television is getting worse. don’t get me wrong there are good educational tv shows for kids but there are even more disgusting and vulgar shows like this.

Alright I’m not a mother or a father like half of the comment authors on here. I’m fourteen. Glenn Martin DDS is terrible. It’s like they are TRYING to get kicked off or lose many views. Commercials are lame. The dog’s ass is messed up(sorry for language). It’s not even funny. Forget this show. Watch George Lopez, the nanny, malcom in the middle, family matters, fresh prince of bel air (on TBS) and all of nick and nick at nite except the homosexual show titled Fanboy and Chum Chum. Wallace and grament or whatever the dogs name is a better use of clay. Get off the tv Glenn Martin DDS. 0/10 stars

I am so glad that I am not the only parent that is really shocked and mad over this show. This show is on at 7 p.m. right after iCarly and Victorious, which are geared to older kids but younger ones can watch. Don’t most “TEENS” watch the other channels? No need for adult swims or Nick shows that include such inappropriate things. I really don’t think that Nick needs to be showing this show at all, but definitely not at 7p.m. My children are still awake at 7….but also at 8 and 9……so I don’t think Nick or any other KID CARTOON channel needs to have “adult” type shows on at any point. I may be “old fashioned” but I don’t want my kids now or when they are in their “teen” years talking about porn, prostitutes, or any of the other things mentioned. If this is a show that is liked by OLDER children put it on a different channel or MUCH later than 7-8p.m. with no ads during kid shows. It is really sad that kids don’t have a channel that is truely for THEM anymore. I hope that Nick does something about this and listens to the complaints.

I am 15. The show I was watching, iCarly, had just ended and then the opening for Glenn Martin came on. Now, I thought it was bad enough when a character from iCarly dressed up as an old woman and had large fake breasts on, jumping around saying “Im just a busty old lady”. But no, this show comes on and the first thing I see is a dogs anus. What the hell? I have never watched the show, buy after reading other peoples comments, it seems very inappropriate. I will tell you all right now, no kid goes to sleep at 8 o clock. We all go to sleep at around 10 now. And that’s on school days. On weekends we might not sleep until 1 am. My friends sister who is 8 or 9 knows things she should not know, and it’s because of what the media shows us. It’s not just the tv, it’s the Internet. Where do you think children learn about sex nowadays? Online. And there’s Sadly nothing we can do about it. Nick is one of the very few shows that is supposed to preserve child innocense, and it’s now fading away. Just like Disney with all of it’s romantic boyfriend girlfriend garbage. But not even Disney goes this far. I watch adult swim all the time on Saturdays and rarely do I hear the word whore and bitch or the mentioning of sex (I don’t watch family guy a lot so I don’t know what they say but I’m pretty sure they don’t show brians anus all the time). Our culture is becoming more and more based on sex and it’s really pathetic. Stop selling sex to children. I would have liked to enjoy an innocent childhood where my peers didn’t have boyfriends in 4th grade and didn’t talk about sex and kissing. I’m in tenth grade now and half of the student body has had sex, not to mention they all do drugs. A friend of mine who is in 8th has had 5 different boyfriends already, 4 of which she dated these past 2 months. I know the past couple sentences have been irrelevant but because of shows like this you are corrupting the youth. Children are supposed to be the future, do you want them to be sex obsessed adults? Nick, if you want to start showing more adult oriented shows, make a whole different channel or have the shows put on demand.

I think that the show should start at 8 or even 9
It is a really good show, but no way it should be PG
it has to be TV-14

Ok I have a 13 year old and I don’t allow her to even watch this crap. she also choses not to watch. but yes I feel this is gone way to far with this crap. I feel bad for those children who are waiting and wanting to watch and parents are just then fighting with kids instead of having good family time before bed. using the words that are being used is way to far as well as actions. I will never watch nick again and will continue to share my feeling with many others. I know kids hear it all at school but geeezzzzzz we don’t need to hear it at home too. this is not fare to children.

I am twenty years old and my boyfriend and I were watching the tele one night and I saw a show called “Glen Martin DDS.” I am really hoping to get into dental school so it just caught my eye, and since both of us were curious about how on earth they could make a dentist’s life appeal to children on a network like Nickelodeon we watched a little of it. Within the first thirty seconds, we were both completely appalled. This show was on at 7PM and was completely obscene! Sexual references, sexism, and racism were all shown in a positive light as being humorous on a kids network at 7PM! And for all of the lack of political correctness and child-friendly content, it wasn’t even funny. Just gross and obscene. We were discussing it when we realized that this is on at 6PM on the east coast! If a traditionally kids network is going to air shows like this, it should be in a 10 or 11 pm time slot and have a warning to parents before hand like adult swim.

I am tired of this show. I have a 4 and a 3 year old. The first time I saw this show, the main character was ripping a set of teeth out of some guys mouth, and blood spewing all over. I find this extremely innapropriate for children, and I dont believe that 8pm is the time to be showing this garbage on a childrens tv show. does anyone have contact that we can directly send complaints to for Nickalodean??

I dont know how in the world this show can be showing at 7:pm in my area, I just started watching my grandaughter at night and was mortified when the words whore and bastard were thrown around, sleeping around with women. Is this a joke or what? my 5 year old grandaughter will not be watching nick any more until trash like this is removed

There is no shame to be had by parents who allow their children to watch TV, these people that are stating so were brought up in the same manner, how else would they know what is on and what we are complaining about? Nick at Nite puts shows and should be grown up enough to know what is and what is NOT kid appropriate.

Having said such, tonights show on DDS really went way too far, what I heard while fliping through the channels, two young men on the show, one asked ” can you lay an egg” second boy answered “no, but I can lay chicks, lots and lots of them”. That was my last straw for this network, I refuse to allow it in our home anymore.

Nick’s attempt to compete with CN and Adult Swim has taken things much too far. For those that deem it appropriate only means that your minds have become numb and unable to see the difference between good and bad, and between funny and just plain crude. The execs are not expected to be my babysitter, but they sure are expected to offer good and quality KID FRIENDLY shows on the occassions when I do allow them to watch Television. Those that dare complain about us parents taking a stand against indecensy also have the choice to stay away from these sites that are dedicated to us who have legit complaints. Shame on anyone who dares think these these shows and any like it are ok to air during day time hours, nick at night needs to make these offensive shows much later than 9, how about 10 or 11 when most “grown ups” are out looking for just this type of “entertainment”?

I agree that this show should be on at a later time (Granted around here, on the regular channels Family Guy is aired at 6:30). I personally think the show is hilarious, but obviously a bit too mature for kids under 13. But… shame on you parents, for just handing your kids to the television network exec’s to babysit, and expecting EVERYTHING to be kid friendly. What about reading a book? Or reading your kids a book? Or toys that require using imagination, instead of prefabricated brain melting television?

The problem here isnt a television channels ethics. The problem here is that parents are entrusting television to raise their kids. And thats just sad.

The show is not the problem, parents are. If your worried on what your kids are watching then turn it off, and give them a book! If it’s that big a problem wouldn’t it be cheaper, and easier to sell the TV?
Truth is, your children will be introduced to violent television at some point in there life and you can’t stop it. Instead of posting shame on Nickelodeon. Spend time with your children and teach them how it’s just TV. Teach them how what these cartoon people say and do is wrong.
Reach out to them firmly and loving in every aspect of life. In the end they’ll thank you for it.
Stop hating. Don’t like it. Don’t watch

I was at a family restaurant tonight, at 6:00pm in Arizona. We were in the child’s area where the television had the Nick channel on it. This Show, Glenn Martin DDS, came on and the opening joke involved the word “douche”. I feel I just typed a curse word, myself. They showed women in a pool talking about kissing each other. Later there was a BLOW UP DOLL. If this show was on another NETWORK I would be watching it myself, as a 31 year old mother, WITHOUT MY SON. HOWEVER, this show is on a “children’s network”. I know we could say it is the restaurant’s fault for having this station on the television, however, I feel it is the NICK’s responsibility to KNOW THEIR AUDIENCE!!!!!!! Their audiences are children, not future prostitutes.

I can not believe a cartoon on Nickelodeon at 6:00pm has a character that says “Don’t talk about the wives in front of the whores.” Absolutely absurd!!! My children will not be watching this show and I will definitely be putting more restrictions on their Nickelodeon watching.

I was watching last night and at 8 o clock pm est Glenn Martin DDS came on. My daughter who is 4 said she wanted to watch it. I seen previews for it here and there so I didn’t think twice to let her watch it. So for the first time we watched it. On the episode last night one of the character’s said “that 2 faced B****” I thought did hear that right and we have dvr so I listened to it again. Why would anyone start this at 8 pm when most kids don’t get in bed till 9. This makes me very angry. If they’re going to show this they should atleast show them later on in the night.

I am completely and utterly disgusted! AND it came on right after spongebob!

I am watching Glen MartinDDS right now–I think it is outrageous–thank goodness I am previewing it for my almost 8 year old daughter and my almost 10 year old son–it is about the most insulting, obscene, ridiculous program I have ever seen and to think of all the promo for this one–I will never allow this one-not even if my kid was 12-the context and subject matter is just stupid and for a select group of adults!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m so afraid of what the world is going to be like with all this going. I barely watch T.V. anymore. I can’t. It’s sickening. With all the celebrity worship and the inappropriate television shows. I just turned 18 and I’ve been afraid since I was 12. I watch my friends change because of something they saw on
T.V. and all of sudden they HAVE to do it. Like their brainwashed. Even my siblings. And if you don’t go along with it they turn hateful. Violently hateful and it’s freaking scary. Glenn Martin may not seem bad to some people and the may say “It’s only a show.” or “My kids are to young to understand.” Trust me when I say it’s more than a show.

And even if they don’t understand, someone the know, maybe another child, WILL understand. You think they won’t EXPLAIN it to your child? Guess again. If parents could be a fly in a room full of children 5-17 you’d be shocked. You only find out a sample of what young people discuss and do.

Parents beware, it’s getting bad. Really bad. Children and adults alike are steadily going down the gutter.

Early evening is family time. Late night is adult time.
If you don’t want your children watching what might come on in the early evenings there is a simple solution.
TURN OFF THE TV.
Channels like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network are trying to appeal to their target audience. Adults are usually the only ones awake at night-late night. So, they air more adult shows.
I enjoy these shows. But, I would never let children watch them. When my nephew comes to visit, I don’t watch them. I look ahead at the channels scheduled shows for that evening, so that I know what channel to avoid, and when. But, when he’s not visiting, I love watching Adult Swim!
Robot Chicken and Home Movies are my favorite shows!
Though, I don’t like Glenn Martin DDS, but that’s because it’s just poorly written, and tries too hard to be funny.
