The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a $1.4 million fine against 52 ABC Television Network stations over a 2003 broadcast of cop drama NYPD Blue.

The fine is for a scene where a boy surprises a woman as she prepares to take a shower. The scene depicted “multiple, close-up views” of the woman’s “nude buttocks” according to an agency order issued late Friday.

Lets not debate the many issues that arise from this incident, that’s for another forum.

I just want to know whose got the $1.4 million tush. Whose now-infamous ass was this?

Charlotte Ross. I remember it well, it was the nudiest bit of nudity that NYPD Blue ever showed.

ETA: Google “Charlotte Ross” “nude awakening” with Safesearch off, and you’ll get a pretty good idea.

Thank you.

And I thank the gods it wasn’t Charlotte Rae, which is who came to mind when I first read that name.

I, for one, feel much safer now that I know the FCC has stepped in ALMOST FIVE YEARS LATER. :rolleyes:

Didn’t we see Dennis Franz’s butt? I wanna say we saw Jimmy Smits’ butt too, but maybe that’s just wishful thinking.

And Rick Scroeder’s and Kim Delaney’s…

there were lots of naked butts on that show.

I think the difference is that the one being fined aired before 10:00pm in some markets.
Ditto what ASAKMOTSD said. I’d love to know the explanation for why it’s even an issue all this time later.

I think we saw everybody’s butt . . . and more. But this episode went a little further than usual.

I like to think of that episode as “Little Theo gets His First Woody.”
