So was this show actually marketed as a family program? If not, then why would you let your kids watch it until you watched it first?

Looks like the show is getting canned anyways here shortly..

"They hire a "40-year-old filthy slut who'll do anything" to complete the task of retrieving Hurricane's assets. Before she can even begin, the horse falls over dead.."

I, for one, know how to use the ON/OFF switch.

Get a life! Exercise a little self control and control over the children in your home. If you don't like the content turn the damn thing off. I don't need you to make these decisions for me!

OMG. This has to be the lowest of the low. I am appalled. Sending a letter or two million to the FCC will do no good. They will say obscene is in the eye of the beholder. The best thing to do is contact the network and most important, find out who the sponsors are and put pressure on them. The bottom line is all they are concerned with.

Hadn't seen this and rarely watch FOX, although I will watch FX for the MASH reruns. This is disgusting

Control freaks like you are no better than the diehard socialists you are against because the end result for either of you is enslavement for the rest of us.

Interesting debate. Is this stuff "harmful" to society, where society can be defined to include children? Yes, it is. However, is that "harm" sufficient to censor it with the Consititutional questions that raises? There's the issue.

All I can say is what we do. The TV the kids view is not plugged into our satellite. So they can watch only VCRs and DVDs. Which we have chosen for them. Plus we have a great library so I can check out good (IMO) stuff for them. They are pretty young, so I censor out most kid oriented videos as I believe them to be trash (again, IMO). My wife's circle of friends tends to restrict the viewing also -- in no case are the kids permitted unrestricted TV access. So...no problem.

But the larger problem exists. There are families that permit their kids to watch complete trash. Witness the posting earlier about the 12 year old girl who was engaging with her little friends in oral sex and wanted them to "do the dog". She didn't learn that from watching "Magic School Bus" or "Bill Nye Science Guy" I am positive. Those kids are going to grow up and be very interesting adults. I can imagine how their kids will turn out.

So, if the intention is to write letters, call and freep the sponsors to put pressure on the network, what makes this different from the lefties doing the same to Michael Savage's show and sponsors, which sparked a huge outrage on our parts? I agree with the rationale of learning how to use the channel button or the off button. Maybe there are some people who enjoy that type of entertainment, and don't have the same hang-ups or problems with limiting what their children watch.

Terry Rakolta strikes again.....remember when she tried to get "Married with Children" yanked off the air?

Keen Eddie is a funny show and, if you don't like it, there's a great invention called the "OFF" button on your television.

Just as my parents did not allow me to watch "Three's Company", you should act like a parent and monitor what your kids are watching for yourself. Don't rely on Colin Powell's son to act as your babysitter.

And the irony of this is, the more resistance this show gets, the more it will stir up curiosity. The rating have been mediocre.

On second thought....keep up the work...continue ther campaign! I love this show and your efforts may actually save it from the low ratings it is receiving right now!

What was that old post where the guy asked if duct tape would fix the bullet holes in his TV?

Watching TV is the mistake. Like going to a gang fight, cruising some 'hood for drugs, buying drugs, using drugs-all in the same catagory. TURN IT OFF.

Detective Eddie hired a prostitute (whose ad in the newspaper read, "Forty Year Old Filthy Slut. Will Do Anything") to have sex with a horse!!!

And it's about time the Horse Sexer Upper People got decent treatment on television. It is time to come out of the closet and loudly proclaim, "We have sex with horses and we are PROUD!".

TV is worthless. Turn it off. Problem solved.

As I was cruising the programs on TV last night, I was outraged and very surprised to see a special about some immoral idiots who had built a "male machine" to satisfy horny women. They described and then showed the machine complete with a large penis programmed to move in the "male way." More to my surprise they brought out a female who looked like a stripper heavy with silicone. She was made to lie down, strip off her undies and acted and sounded like she really enjoyed the ride on the machine.

Is there no limit to what the depraved trash that TV producers can and do put on the air and not get an X rating? Sorry, but I turned it off and did not get the name of the network, but it may have been late nite Oxygen. Anyone else see the program?
