While reading News of the Weird , I came across this:
The “indecent” CBS drama “Without a Trace” for which the Federal Communications Commission is proposing a $3.3 million fine of the network and affiliates was apparently complained about by only two (at most) actual viewers of the estimated 8.2 million who watched it that December 2004 night, according to FCC records that CBS cited in a June filing to the commission. Those two (and 4,209 complaints from people who apparently only heard about the show) did not start arriving at the FCC until 12 days afterward, which coincidentally was the day that a family watchdog organization began alerting its members about the show. The same CBS program had aired in 2003, with no complaints.
Does anyone know what was “indecent”? I don’t watch it all the time.
It’s the “teen orgy” scene, as helpfully preserved for your viewing by the insane watchdog group the Parents Television Council , the one that stirred up the FCC complaint.
And the search page has the following google ad:
I love irony.
Thanks, it seems I missed both airings. Oh well.
