The group says scenes in the June 29 show at 9/8 p.m. ET/CT “constitute a violation of the broadcast indecency law due to the patently offensive sexual content airing when children are likely to be in the audience. It is even more troubling that CBS chose to rate the episode as appropriate for 14-year-old children.”
In an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, the watchdog group Parents Television Council says “the TV networks will not halt their crusade for the ‘right’ to air f-words and graphic nudity in front of children. Without Supreme Court intervention, the FCC stands to lose all Congressionally-mandated authority over indecent broadcast television and radio content.”
