Read the TV guide, you don't need a TV
“And so it was
Our beloved corporate gods
Claimed they created rock video
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has in 25
“It’s the new frontier,” they say
It’s wide open, anything can happen
But you’ve got a lot of nerve
To call yourself a pioneer
When you’re too ***-**** conservative
To take real chances. “
—Dead Kennedys
I haven’t see it on the history channel, Science channel, or the Smithsonian channel!
Nearly 100% of people see full frontal nudity in the bathroom mirror every day and it doesn’t seem to be the cause of much outrage.
Which shows had full-frontal nudity? They have to be including premium cable to get to that number. I don’t recall hearing of actual full-frontal nudity on cable TV (FX, TNT, AMC, etc.) ... much less network TV.
They must be including HBO, Showtime, Starz, etc.
“Spartacus: Blood & Sand” alone could’ve doubled it over the previous year. My wife took to calling it “Spartacus: T&A”.

What can we as a nation due to stop this invasion of incessant incidences of indecency on our TV airwaves?
Blech.
And yet they censor words like ‘ass’ and ‘butt’ and ‘damn’ on old reruns like Frasier and Cheers which often destroys the meaning of the dialogue. It didn’t bother anybody two decades ago when these shows first aired. Even rock radio stations censor similar words from songs that are over 40 years old.
I was flipping through channels in broad daylight the other day and got tired of seeing “Hall Pass” (frontal male nudity lingering close up) and “Love, Actually” (several porn-type scenes) and tried Showtime Family, where I saw a naked (full back) Danny DeVito opening a closet to find a man holding a vibrator..... I switched it to HBO Family and saw two boys discussing how girls masturbated....
Hollywood considers those things to be family oriented?

Dorsal nudity isn’t a problem.
The majority of complaints I see about NOT having enough nudity on our (USA) channels comes from Europe... The people that are downloading our TV series to watch..
The difference between us and them is that we are still a majority Christian nation... Sadly, Pretty much anyone outside of the Americans (North, Central and South America) are pretty much anti-Christian :/
1 exception in North America is Canada. Canada falls in line with Europe :^(
(I can’t leave out Japan.. not sure about other Asian countries... but when I came to Japan 14 years ago, there were ‘game shows’ and ‘documentaries’ on normal channels that showed a LOT more than I ever saw on TV when I was growing up. Thankfully, most of those shows were after 9pm here. I have no idea what they are showing now.. I haven’t turned on the TV since 2003.)
And that’s just counting the news stories about Prince Harry in Vegas.
Admittedly I rarely if ever watch prime time network TV anymore. But something about that stat does not pass the smell test.
I remember a preacher on TV telling us all that we’d be seeing full frontal nudity on soap operas within 5 years.
That was in 1982. It hasn’t happened, and the soaps themselves are going the way of the dinosaur.
If this is happening it is in the usual and expected places,
like Cinemax.
I call BS. Cable, on late prime, or HBO/Showtime/Prime/Cinemax during a movie maybe, but not network broadcast.
6300%? Someone need to brush up on their math skills.
