Darn you ABC! DARN YOOOOUUU!

[TheOtherVillainess]

So I'm sitting on the couch, getting ready to watch "Life As We Know It" when suddenly ABC comes on and says that tonight's broadcast was CANCELLED! But WHY?

Darn you ABC. DARN YOU ALL TO HECK!

Awww, I'm sorry. Don't know why they cancelled your program.

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

They showed a re-run of wheel of fortune, of all things. I would like to know WHY they didn't show it and whether or not it was just us here in N.Texas that didn't get it, or anybody else.

Now I have to find my Kelly Osbourne CD to get my Kelly fix.

Grr.

Must have been your local affiliate blocking it. I just love censorship

 

[angel's momma]

It aired here.

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

I guess it was a local thing and at the last minute,too. Just before WoF came on, the announcer did a voice-over about "entering virgin territory' or whatever. I'm gonna give the Belo corp (who owns the local ABC affiliate)a piece of my mind!

was there something bad in the show?

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

How would I know? I never saw it..other than the last 2 eps. The show has been somewhat controversial since before it even aired because of the adult content of the show.

I don't get it. How can CBS get away with showing sex toys on TV and ABC have a show which talks about sex acts (between teenagers) get yanked?

Thanks stinks. The wonderful state of mississippi block what seems like everything here. It should be illegal, we should be able to watch what we want. Another thing to add to the list of reasons I hate the move here to mississippi! I want to go back to California!

Wow that's insane they blocked out the show?!

I don't watch it but I can't imagine living somewhere were they censor shows shown in the rest of the country, that's crazy.

This is clearly a case of censorship by your local affiliate. I watched the show and one of the teenage boys did have sex with his young teacher that he had been seeing. They only showed them kissing and her unbuckling his pants. She also had a condom, which very well may have been why the show was pulled. A teenage boy actually talking about safe sex. Sounds like a good lesson to me. I wouldn't want my young children watching this, but it is a lot better than what kids are hearing and seeing in the halls of any public high school. (I taught high school for 14 years.)

Years ago stations used to not show programs due to content, I can think of episodes of The Smothers Brothers and Maude which were not shown by our local affiliate, but I did not know they did that any longer...I would complain about it to them and to ABC directly..just my two cents on it.

This show is ripping of Dawsons' Creek soooo bad Anyways, it IS censorship to decide what someone else can see and hear.

OP, I'd get a dish if I were you I don't think that they can block those, can they?

More words, please! Why do you believe it is not censorship?

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

Can't afford it right now, which is why we have regular TV.

I DID sent a complaint to Belo, but all I got back was "We'll send this to the right dept" form email.

Blueberry--anybody who watched LAWKI knew it would have objectionable content from the constant "This show has adult themes and language" blurb running across the bottom of the screen throughout the episoides. PLUS at every chance,before putting the show back on after a commercial, there would be a screen up that said the same thing.

Grr...
