I'm fairly certain that NYPD Blue had a bare boob in there in one of those steamy love scenes, that and they said "shit," both of which caused a stir and I think they have gone away from such raciness. The nudity thing was one of the major reasons why the show was aired at 10pm. Clearly if it was just wanton violence, we could have aired it at 8pm.

I was pretty shocked 10 years ago when Chicago Hope showed bare breasts and nobody said anything. I think a lady who had breast cancer had plastic surgery on her breasts and they showed them afterwards and I don't think there were even any scars. And yet when they said shit on CH, it was a huge deal.

I don't remember the name of the show, but I remember seeing something along this lines several years ago on one of the medical setting/hospital based shows.

Am I totally smoking weed, or did I tune into ER last week and see an old lady on an operating table, and the ER DRs cut her shirt off exposing her breasts while her little granddaughter watched?

And the little granddaughter yelled out "No! Stop! She doesn't want you to do that!" Of course, when she said this, you immediately thought she was referring to the fact that her grandmama was lying there with her breasts flopping all over the table. But then, the precocious little tot said, "No! She's DNR", as in "do not resuscitate".

Did I hallucinate this?

No! That's what I've already posted twice in this thread, but apparently everybody is trying to make us think we are crazy

ER already did this and reran the episode last week just days before the Superbowl.

Nope, you didn't hallucinate that. Noah Wyle brought it up on "The View" this morning. He expressed his disappointment that the network decided to edit out the 2 second glimpse of an 80 year old woman's breast. He said it was not meant to "push the envelope," but to demonstrate the realism expected from an ER show. He noted that it had been done in the past, and a rerun depicting a similar shot was just replayed last week without incident. But NBC claims that "the atmosphere created by this week's events has made it too difficult for many of our affiliates to air this shot."

Ridiculous and I'm shocked to see NBC cower in fear like that. I don't believe the half time show was newsworthy, but this is simply silly. It's late night, it's a medical drama and it's appropriate. If this shot seems at all sexual to someone, they're the one with the issue!

What really offends me is that they were going to show an old ladies tits.

For God's sake, they have Parminder Nagra on the show! Jesus, let's get her full-frontal already!

At the newsstand, I noticed the magazines. There was Maxim, with a topless Michelle Branch on the cover, and Stuff magazine, with Carmen Electra in a tiny pink bikini on the cover, and FHM magazine, with a completely naked woman covered only in body paint on the cover, alongside an article titled "The Sexy Girls of the Winter X Games."
Those magazines are old!

Yeah they were a tad obvious.

It all makes sense now. NBC isnt afraid of showing breasts, they are just racist!



I actually find the editing to be far more offensive than if they had shown anything at all.

What, veiwers arent "adult" enough to handle this?

Nope, as someone said earlier, all this artifical outrage over a second of a blurry tit is like something on South Park.

Whatever happened to TV parental ratings, graphic content advisories and the V-chip? Don't people with sticks up their butts have enough tools to prevent unwanted content from perverting their fragile minds? It's past 10 O'clock. This new found cowardice by network pinheads better not screw with Nip/Tuck when in returns in June.
