The series should have been on HBO and then they could have done that.

Maybe he's the modern day Ted McGinley.

HA! Didn't Married with Children last for a while when he came on? Thought he was a LOT better than Marcy's first husband.

McGinley did 61 episodes of Happy Days, 60 episodes of The Love Boat, 167 episodes of Married... With Children, and 58 episodes of Hope & Faith. He's hardly the grim reaper of television that many make him out to be.

yep, the CW probably shouldn't be considered a real network but H8r is all but cancelled.

They really should cancel everything on NBC except Football and start again.

I think Parenthood is pretty decent.

Guys it's really easy to come in here and bash someone from another country. Let's not be ugly Americans and cut this guy some slack. I think it's great that he knows enough english to enjoy our shows and post in our forums. Kudos to you my Australian friend.

I was speaking purely from an enjoyment/quality perspective. Especially Community and Parks and Rec. :)

I'd call americans suppressed prudes before I'd call australians perverted.

But hey, American Premium Cable shows softcore porn well before 11 pm, so.....

I think our country has lost too much civility over the last 10 years or so. We're so ready to put down foreigners at every turn. This guy said he felt the show would have succeded on pay cable television where it would have been allowed to feature nudity. Is it that odd a suggestion? It is a show about the Playboy Club! And yet he’s branded a pervert for it. I suspect that if had signaled himself out to be a member of the tea party, he would have been regaled for his comments. So no joke here sir.

You punch the guy next to you in the arm. Johnny Drama always comes through with the knowledge.

Did you read his post? He never said anything about it possibly succeeding on pay cable. He specifically said he was expecting naked chicks and lots of sex not some "Boring period drama" His expectations were ridiculous because the show was developed as a network drama. Maybe calling him a perv was a little overboard.

And I'm not a prude, I'm all for creativity that includes sex, nudity and gore. I subscribe to Cinemax and I love Strike Back, which includes that and more. If he wants lots of sex and nudity, he should subscribe to a premium cable channel or download the millions of porn clips on the Internet and not complain about a Network TV show.

For the record, when I was in Sydney, the softcore porn was shown on Over the Air TV, not cable.

I get that Australians are probably getting a bad rap in part because of Arnold Schwarzenegger's shananigans, but certainly we can agree that Europeans have a different sense of sexuality than Americans.

Yeah and even though The Playboy Club had no sex and nudity, the brand name of "Playboy" is synonomous with Nudity and that's why so many groups like te PTC had a problem with it and sponsors were pulling out. Shows cannot survive on over the air free TV without sponsors.

Ahhh ok - your sig DOES explain it all then.

You seem to think that Austria and Australia are one in the same. Never underestimate indeed.
