Love the FCC

Shaving Ryan's Privates too indecent for TV (http://money.cnn.com/2004/11/11/news/fortune500/savingpvt_ryan/index.htm?cnn=yes)

That is dumb. FCC needs to be canceled

The stations attempted to get clarification as to context permissability for using the F-bomb, and were unable to. In today's prude-happy world, I wouldn't run the risk of fines and/or license revocation, either. The contract prohibits them from bleeping or overdubbing, and ABC will not let them run it later.

I think they should change that law that says everyone must buy a television and watch it. Which amendment was that again?

They are showing it here in San Antonio...I just saw the promo for it right now on ABC.

iceman, you're gay!

Did they cut the opening scene?

I turned it on at 7:04 and they were already at the point where they were at top of the hill and shooting the flame thrower into the bunker. I remeber that scene taking way more than 4 minutes.

I understand the objection to showing Private Ryan in its unexpurgated version. How dare ABC telecast a movie that tries to capture and accurately depict the horrors of war both in terms of the images shown and the language used.

Network TV still exists?

Well, I can also understand the concern of parents not wanting to flip past a channel with their kids in the room to see someone's torso being dragged across the beach.

However, I would prefer if the gov't stayed out of it... If there's public outrage, so be it. Let them make their statements by choosing not to watch ABC.

When I first saw the headlines I thought they were talking about "Shaving Ryan's Privats". That's a whole nuther movie!

As expected

The FCC received complaints about ABC's broadcast and will review them to decide whether to open an investigation, a spokeswoman said Friday.

The FCC should just go away.
