Quote:It's true, in the earlier days of television that you're talking about, toilets were not shown. On the other hand, did you (or anyone here for that matter) miss the toilet being omitted from a favorite weekly television program? Or could you care less because it was an unnecessary element that did not prevent the weekly yarn from being told?
Quote:Take Adalind for instance, since sex has been a recent topic. She's already 30 something when the series begins and during the course of a 6 season show, she's been through at least five guys. Call me judgmental here, but my guess would be she's been through plenty more before the viewer ever set eyes on her.You opinion about Adalind is a good example. Just like the FCC restrictions that I pointed out which only existed for reason of maintain morality. Also exist in your view that you consider Adalind promiscuous. You make that statement because she sleep with multiple guys. Only a few years ago sex out side of marriage would have been used to make the same assumption. Some even felt sex for anything other then procreation would also be seen as a definition of ones character.
What I find interesting is people who still try an hold onto this idea that ones sex life defines their character. Instead of seeing it as an adult activity like drinking a beer, that people engage in for the sole purpose of the pleasure that it brings. I was using the FCC restrictions to show the what is considered immoral not only changes over time but also buy who is making the claim.
lets consider how violence is handled. The show uses violence as a solution to confrontation. There was a time hanging horse thefts was considered not only moral but an imperative. Now days it could get you a lethal injection. The law has not changed only the perception. So why is it considered immoral for Nick or any of the characters to handle conflict resolution the same as any show depicting a time before conflict was restricted to legal resolutions. Even the bible says an eye for and eye something that was normal prior to the 21st century.
