In its second season, Roswell introduced more foul language, more sexual content, and more violence\u2014prompting the PTC to revise its assessment of the series and give it a yellow-light rating. Unfortunately, the October 30 season premiere on UPN indicated that &#8220;Roswell&#8221; may continue to move further away from its family-friendly roots.<\/p>\n<p>The short opening sequence of the episode shows a man sitting in a stopped car. A woman\u2019s head rises into the frame, clearly suggesting that she had been performing oral sex on the man. The woman gets out of the car to light a cigarette and sees a flash of light. When she approaches the car again, the man\u2019s charred remains are shown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoswell\u201d used to be a show the entire family could watch together, but this kind of graphic content is inappropriate and unnecessary for any age group.
