MTV's cool right? The US-based Parents Television Council thinks not. It has launched a new report The Ten Best and Worst Shows on Cable Television of the 2001/2002 Season. And it has keelhauled the music broadcaster as a propogator of raunchy programming.

Among the MTV shows that have been listed in the worst list include: The Real World, Undressed, Celebrity Deathmatch The Andy Dick Show and The Osbournes, which has recently launched in India.

Turner Network Television's Witchblade were among the other shows to be fingered. The PTC believes that because parents don't watch MTV they have no idea of the titillation that the network resorts to keep its teen viewers glued to the screen. Hence, it is going raise a ruckus against the music network.
