Friends? :)

1996/1997
Least and Most Family-Friendly Shows
4. Friends (NBC) In its second year leading off the peacock network's
powerful Thursday night lineup, Friends remains randy, its cast of six
attractive Manhattanites consistently glorifying premarital sex.
Moreover, with few exceptions, this show was rated "TV-PG" under the
new industry guidelines, indicating (falsely) that it was suitable for
older children and teens, and that most of the material was
appropriate for younger viewers, which it simply is not.

Top 10 Best & Worst Family Shows on Network Television
dietro al primo indiscusso posto per Dawson's Creek e poi Melrose
Place, Will&Grace, Ally McBeal, Spin City e The Drew Carey Show,
Friends fa peggio di due anni prima (soprattutto perche' scopriamo che
era al secondo posto... sfido, c'era la storia di Phoebe e dei
triplets se non erro)
7. Friends
(NBC/ranked #2 last season)
Friends’ drop in the rankings attests to the rising raunchiness of
prime time TV. By maintaining its usual level of sexual content, this
long-running hit about six late-twentysomethings in lower Manhattan
wasn’t a contender for the top of this year’s list, but was still racy
enough to earn a spot toward the bottom, given its inappropriate 8
p.m. time slot. The affair between two of the characters, Monica and
Chandler, supplied much of the show’s humor, as they discussed ad
nauseum their sex life: how they made love seven times during their
first night, how their sex life is "amazing," and "the best," and
other erotic elements of their relationship.

1999/2000
delusione, Friends non c'e'... pero' spicca il meraviglioso primo
posto del wrestling :)
1)  WWF Smackdown!
(UPN/first season)
Airing at 8:00 on Thursdays, Smackdown! exposes children to obscene,
raunchy, and violent content on a weekly basis. Regularly featured
characters included a pimp and his "Ho Train," a sex addict, and a
porn star. Episodes contained women mudwrestling topless, homosexual
innuendo, and drug references. One plot line centered on a wrestler's
sexual dalliance with a 70-year-old woman. Violent content included
characters being beaten with chairs, poles, pipes, 2x4s,
sledgehammers, street signs, chains, a piano top, and hockey sticks,
getting smashed through tables and windows, getting run down by a
limo, rammed by a semi truck, and being set on fire. Foul language
included all the standards and audible use of the s-word, and visible
(though not audible) uses of "f--k" and "motherf--ker."

Friends e' al 9o posto - senza motivazioni, ne' riassuntino
9. Friends
NBC/ 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT) Thursday -- ranked #4 last season
With one season left to go, Friends continues to be one of the raciest
sitcoms in prime time, and its early-evening time slot makes it that
much more objectionable. All six regulars have been sexually
promiscuous, and dialogue has contained vulgar language and explicitly
sexual content.  In past episodes, sexual promiscuity, masturbation,
Monica’s endorsement of Chandler’s fondness for porn, and Joey’s many
sexual partners have served as fodder for jokes.  Last season Rachel
gave birth to Ross’s child, the result of a one-night stand.  
In one particularly appalling episode from this season, Monica tries
to surprise her husband, Chandler (who is out of town for business) by
showing up at his hotel room.  She walks in on him as he is
masturbating while watching pornography.  Chandler tries to quickly
change the channel so she won’t know what he was doing, and switches
it to a shark-attack program, leaving Monica to conclude that he gets
aroused by “shark porn.”  Far from being disgusted by the idea, Monica
later tries to get him in the mood by popping in a tape of “shark
porn.”
