Parents Television Council has taken up arms against this show. It made their worst of the week and here's their complaint to the FCC.
Parents Television Council has taken up arms against this show.Would it be too much to ask that if they are going to complain or protest about something they get their facts right?
1. Eddie did not hire the prostitute
2. They were not Eddie's thugs. They were inept criminals Eddie was trying to catch.
3. The criminals did not want the prostitute to have intercourse with the horse. They wanted to extract the semen to sell because it was a valuable race horse. They did not want to do it themselves so they hired the prostitute and gave her a bucket. A far cry from having intercourse.

Would it be too much to ask that if they are going to complain or protest about something they get their facts right?But then the show wouldn't sound as bad. Groups like this frequently just make stuff up. Does anyone remember that guy that complained to Fox about Family Guy and wanted it taken off of the air? (IIRC, his last name was Griffin, the same as the family in FG.) In his letter he claimed to be the leader of some organization, then it turned out that the organization he claimed to represent really didn't even exist.
On the worst of the week page, the title of the page is "That 70's Show".
I sure as heck am NOT going to watch "The O.C.", whose ads look horrible.So if I told you that Doug Liman (director of Swingers, Go, and The Bourne Identity) was directing a TV show for Fox, would that convince you to watch at least one episode? McG (Charlie's Angels)is involved as a writer and producer as well, but that's a less compelling a reason for me to watch.
As far as Keen Eddie goes, I've been watching and enjoying it, but now that it's likely well out of production, can I get some kind of confirmation that Sienna Miller will continue to appear on my television on a regular basis? Please!

Ironically, 24 has a lot more offensive material.I guess these people think its okay to have their kids see people getting killed. But if they hear the word "insemination", they'll be scarred for life!
Most children wouldn't even understand what these people on the show were talking about anyway. But even those children probably understand how to operate the "power" and "channel" buttons on the TV and the TV's remote control.
Note to Parents Television Council: JUST TURN OFF THE TV! (Ask your children how if you can't figure it out!)

Please!Amen. I'm excited for next week's episode. I've been in an, um...similar situation. At least I didn't get punched in the face for it.
