Somer: I doubt that anyone considers CBS part of the religious right, so you might want to rethink that thought!

Timm,
Did you read the linked article? I think it's 100% obvious who CBS and Fox were catering to?

Haven't read it yet....CBS really catered to the RR when dumping "Joan of Arcadia" and fostering Ghost Whisperer and the rest of programming. Moonves said that he wanted these programs to target the younger crowd! Do you think Les is getting splinters now?

It's a strange world we live in....but there are certain "taboos" that seem constant, and sex being the "devil's" plaything is a constant in this culture as well. We can show women disemboweled, demons from somewhere, machine guns opening up on crowds, but the idea that people might actually choose to have sex for something other than having kids causes certain folks (who I won't name again) to go into convulsions!

You're just watching the evening news there, Somer! Procreation was the only reason for sex, as far as the Catholic church told me growing up....that didn't work out too good ,either

I think this whole thread is much ado about nothing! I read the article....Jeez..it would have sold if it was a beer commercial...or the Sarrano on the Rocks commercial,right? I mean, there I was at 10:19 at nite wondering if I could make it to the liquor store to pick up A bottle of Sarrano..and the ice of course!! Gimme a break!
