The One Million Moms web site has targeted Sutton Foster's new TV Land series YOUNGER for their latest crusade as self appointed media watchdogs. The site claims that it is "almost impossible to describe the depth of depravity" of the new comedy, which was just picked up for a second season.

The group's goal, according to their site is to "stop the exploitation of our children, especially by the entertainment media (TV, music, movies, etc.). Mom, OneMillionMoms.com is the most powerful tool you have to stand against the immorality, violence, vulgarity and profanity the entertainment media is throwing at your children."

The site's greivances against TV Land's YOUNGER are as follows:

Every scene is filled with s*xual innuendos, implications, or encounters. It is impossible to list them all, so here are a few scenes from this TV-14 rated show:

Pixelated n*dity

Woman is completely topl*ss during lunch at outdoor café

"Topl*ss Tuesday" = a slogan for women's empowerment

Gives vag*na pep talks

Graphic bedroom scenes

Excessive alcohol consumption

The site goes on to urge viewers to 'Take Action'!

H*mos*xual attraction

Main character helps friend remove feminine product stuck inside her

This comedy is anything but funny!

About YOUNGER:

YOUNGER follows 40-year old Liza (Sutton Foster), a suddenly single mother who tries to get back into the working world, only to find it's nearly impossible to start at the bottom at her age. When a chance encounter with the sexy Josh (Nico Tortorella), a young tattoo artist, convinces her she looks younger than she is, Liza tries to pass herself off as 26 - with the help of a makeover, courtesy of her best friend Maggie (Debi Mazar).

Armed with new confidence, she lands a job as an assistant to the temperamental Diana (Miriam Shor) and teams up with her new co-worker and 20-something Kelsey (Hilary Duff) to make it in the career of her dreams. Now she just has to make sure no one discovers her secret.

Foster is an award-winning actor, singer and dancer who has performed in 10 Broadway shows and originated roles in the Broadway productions of The Drowsy Chaperone, Little Women, Young Frankenstein, Shrek the Musical, and her Tony Award-winning performances in Anything Goes and Thoroughly Modern Millie. She was first seen on television on "Star Search" at age 15, and has more recently appeared in "Bunheads" (TV Critics' Choice Award nomination for "Best Actress in a Comedy Series"), "Psych", "Flight of the Conchords", "Law and Order SVU", "Royal Pains", and "Sesame Street".
