...network irresponsibility that sacrifices family viewing for raunchy programming...

I would not consider this kind of junk family entertainment even if the words were bleeped.

[FreePaul]

I don't like the idea of this program getting away with that kind of language. But, where is the parental responsibility. Why let children watch trash. Yeah, I know it's hard to keep kids from watching in which case don't blame the networks for the behavior of the kids.

Go outside, cool your jets, have a cigarette, relax. We probably ain't going to repeal the first amendment over someone f'ing on national TV, get over it. Really can you imagine the dialog on the Sopranos without it?

Really, get a life.

I didn't hear it because nothing on earth could get me to watch NBC!

[Bullish]

Why did you subject yourself to the Golden Bozos anyway?

[Hessian]

A far better response to this episode is to write to your local NBC station. They are required to include your complaint in their public file which is reviewed at the time of their license renewal.

Also, letters to NBC - NOT form letters or emails - are important, as well as letters - again NOT form letters or emails - to the FCC.

For those of you who dismiss this incident as inconsequential - especially when compared to The Sopranos, please remember that this incident took place on BROADCAST television. There are enormous differences in a broadcaster's responsibilities compared to ANY cable network.

Personally, I am amazed that there was so little attention paid to the gaffe, while the merits of a Miller Lite ad featuring women wrestling in a water fountain was discussed ad nauseum. (No pun intended.)

I am also amazed that SOMEONE at NBC made the decision that it was not necessary (or that it was too exensive) to delay a live broadcast of Hollywood types who were going to be spending the evening drinking at large tables in a ballroom, awaiting their awards. A recipe for disaster.

Who made the decision, and on what terms? Betcha they'll never tell us.

Bottom line is, NBC doesn't care. They're too busy promoting people eating horse rectums on Fear Factor.

How the mighty have fallen.

What's NBC-TV?

[weikel]

Lighten up. FCC is unconstitutional anyway.

[weikel]

People like you are the reason that Republicans don't have all the vote of the population off the dole.
