Reruns of the very adult police drama air weekdays at 3 p.m. on the FX cable channel. 61 percent of those children say their parents have no rules about TV watching. If parents look at the TV Parental Guidelines, they may be shocked. Not just soap operas are slapped with TV-14 warnings. NYPD Blue, which has stirred viewer protests for being too adult at 10 p.m., repeats TV-14 episodes at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. on FX cable.
