The fun and fireworks have been almost completely drained from the newly moderate, sensible (read: boring) Board of Supervisors - but never fear. The only-in-San Francisco legislation those at Fox News love to rip us for lives on, thanks to the city's lesser known but always creative commissions.
The latest example is the Commission on the Status of Women's resolution demanding that NBC cancel its new TV show "The Playboy Club" and replace it with a show that "depicts women's substantive achievements."
Set in 1960s Chicago, the show follows the mobsters and bunnies who, um, intermingled at Hugh Hefner's famed Playboy Club. Its website says it's set to premiere Sept. 19, but perhaps NBC honchos are too busy firing the actresses and burning their bunny suits to announce they've scrapped the show because seven commissioners in San Francisco voted they should.
Or maybe not.

Your post highlights one of the main reasons I simply don’t watch television at all anymore (with my sole exception of NFL football...hey, everyone has a weakness!)
I began losing interest in the mid-nineties and stopped watching completely about eight years ago.
The network portrayal of men as incompetent, insensitive, selfish, stupid, stubborn, helpless buffoons is surpassed only by their portrayal of women (when they aren’t portraying her as a infallible, emotionless super heroine who engages in physical combat with four muscular men, handily defeating them) as venal, vindictive, harpy sluts.
One is as bad as and as stupid as the other.
Heh, I hid my 4th grade report card under my mattress for months. When my parents asked me where it was, I said I lost it.
They never followed up. They knew how it was without seeing it. But I remember the stricken look on my mother’s face when I lied to her.
She wasn’t hurt so much about the lie, I think...I really think she felt pity for me that I would even resort to such a charade...that I knew they would see it as such.
Anyway, hiding stuff under my mattress was the equivalent of handing it over to my siblings, so that was out for anything as valuable as a Playboy magazine.

In case you've forgotten, silicone is an organic compound.
My pornograph has been in the shop since ‘09. Maybe I shoulda shot it.
I don’t watch pro’s, bunch of spoiled babies.
I watch college football.
The feminasation of the game hurts all that try to exceed.
I thought that title was only honorary,Laz. :)
Okaaay.
This show should be on HBO or at least basic cable.
I don’t see the point of having it on network tv where censorship will prevent it from being very compelling.
Some things just can't be made up.

Thanks Impy. “Sex in the City” and “Desperate Housewives”, and for that matter, “Two and Half Men” all managed to stay on the air and make it into syndication by innuendo. Network TV has to have something on besides so-called reality shows, all of which suck, and syndicated game shows, which have an aging demographic which currently is large enough to still make money.
I bet the most offensive part of the show is if they show people smoking.
I agree with Impy though, this should be on cable if they want to maximize “the effect”. Remember that goofy “Swingtown” show from a few years back? That thing should have been done right - in the style of a Mitchel Bros. porn flick.
I suspect the same thing with that new “Pan Am” sexy stews show - lame.

I don’t know how to post pics, plus the Mitchel Bros. movies are XXX, so those pics wouldn’t fly here on FR.
Nice transgender pic.
Didja have to post that during dessert?
C’mon.
Glad you didn’t fall for that. :’)
Thanks! :)
Honestly, I’ve tried to post pics here via HTML, but can’t.
I heard of Swingtown, never watched it.
Grant Show’s pornstache was picture perfect though.
I gotta see that movie where Chuck and Emillio play those porn brothers.
