Who's watching tonights ER??

[Charade]

They just said the "t" word for breasts. I had to rewind 3 times just to make sure I was hearing what I thought I heard.

What's next?

Were you offended?

It's not a family show and it's on at 10pm. I have no problems with them using adult language on such a show.

I am watching and heard it as well and thought nothing of it. I've heard worse on regular TV on less adult shows!

Not offended in the least. I'm just waiting for full frontal nudity.

Is that term a "no no" on broadcast TV? I guess I'm so used to cable, I heard Abbey say it and thought nothing of it.

I don't know. It's a moving target.

I hear you. Is it just me, or have all of these story lines been done before? *yawn*

ER did have an episode in which a woman's naked breasts were exposed. She was an elderly woman having a breast exam, I do believe, but since the episode was scheduled to air shortly after the Janet Jackson fiasco, that scene was cut.

If you refused to watch it, how do you know what the storyline was?

I never refused to watch it. But like the poster I was responding to, I was also partly tuned out because of the repetitive story lines.

 

[ktpool]

I heard it and it never even crossed my mind to do a double take. I guess I am too jaded by the likes of NYPD Blue

They already showed an elderly woman's breasts full on from the front..Dr Green also said the s word as he died,when he fell from the bed and could not get back up

 

[Caropooh]

I heard it and didn't think anything of it. It wouldn't of been funny if she had said breasts.

 

[Dismom+two]

I DVRed it last night, will be watching it later today when I get home from work. I will have to keep my ears open for that one!

Speaking of such tv shows and can't believe you hear what you hear....does anyone watch Boston Legal???? Now there is a jaw dropper!! Funny as heck though!!

 

[Serena]

I watched it when I went to bed last night. I think it fit with the situation.

 

[VioltePrincess]

remember "Designing Women"? there was an episode when Mary Jo was thinking of getting breast implants. they used the phrase "tag fairy", only with the "t" word referring to her anatomy.

The first two episodes were good, IMHO, but last night, man, retread city!

Let's see, we have John Stamos as the young Doctor Ross, we have the obnoxious Surgical Resident as mini-Romano and we have the gay couple with the disapproving family. Totally BTDT. Hope they get better or I will find something else to watch at 9p.

 

[BethanyF]

honestly, I thought that was one of the funniest lines on TV last night
FWIW...Chicago Hope had frontal nudity...a young black woman had breast reconstruction surgery. The 's' word was said on both Chicago Hope (Mark Harmon's character during some sort of staff meeting) and then on ER (when Dr Greene fell out of bed before he died).
Im sure there are countless other examples of shows pushing the boundries. It really doesnt bother me in the least. Shows like these are on late enough that most young kids are already in bed.
IMO, it makes the shows seem more real. I know if I fell out of bed I wouldnt say 'shoot'. And if Morris were trying to sneak a peek at me I certainly wouldnt say "Im sorry Morris, but you may not see my breasts" Abby's line was exactly what I could see myself saying.

The word was used in the previews for next weeks show, too, in a scene with Morris and the new blond intern.

herc.

 

[palmtreegirl]

My favorite line of the night was when Morris said "Shut up NotJerry"
