Wow.
A keeper.

Ripper Street is also running in the UK on BBC1.RunnerFL said:That was made by BBC America for American audiences, not distribution in the UK. They know how we like our violence.
It's supposed to be, that's the point.1953 said:Off Topic
I think the people at 1600 Penn didn't get the message their show was cancelled. Yes, it's that moronic. :hurah:
The Following has much more gore than any of those shows.RunnerFL said:Because FOX ends their broadcast at 10pm?
Have you seen Bones, Castle, Hawaii Five-O, or pretty much any other crime drama?
Totally agree.Mike Bertelson said:The Following has much more gore than any of those shows.
This isn't your typical TV crime drama and has little in common with Bones, Castle, Hawaii Five-0.
It's more like "Red Dragon" (or the '86 version "Manhunter") was made into a TV series with all the darkness and most of the gore.

...that is the latest time-slot available to FOX.hdtvfan0001;3170261 said:Totally agree.
A 9:00pm timeslot seems inappropriate.
Know that.Hoosier205 said:...that is the latest time-slot available to FOX.
Then don't watch it.hdtvfan0001;3170265 said:Know that.
It's still not appropriate for 9pm IMHO.
It is fine for me... That is why they built in an 'OFF' button on the television....hdtvfan0001 said:Know that.

So when they put hard core porn on a bunch of network channels in prime time, that won't bother anyone either.EdJ said:It is fine for me... That is why they built in an 'OFF' button on the television....
Good advice - suspect many others will follow it.Hoosier205 said:Then don't watch it.
Way to take it way too far.hdtvfan0001;3170272 said:So when they put hard core porn on a bunch of network channels in prime time, that won't bother anyone either.
Gotcha - no accountability for having any standards anymore - I smell what's cooking.
Actually....that's precisely what was being suggested.hilmar2k said:Way to take it way too far.
Something they are prohibited from doing. I guess you should stick to The 700 Club and Touched By An Angel reruns. If this is too much for you, then please refrain from watching the news or paying attention to the real world events around you...you'd never recover from the shock.hdtvfan0001;3170272 said:So when they put hard core porn on a bunch of network channels in prime time, that won't bother anyone either.
Gotcha...I'll watch my news tonight to see the exact same depth of gore content.Hoosier205 said:Something they are prohibited from doing.

You are very welcome. Anything I can do to help, as usual.hdtvfan0001;3170285 said:Gotcha...I'll watch my news tonight to see the exact same depth of gore content.
Thanks for your insights.
This type of "case" is made any time lines get crossed in programming.RunnerFL said:No one is forcing anyone to watch anything. If it's "too gory" for you then don't watch, just don't ruin it for those of us who want to watch it.
Under 21? Oh good lord...you'd place more limitations on this program that those that receive an NC-17 rating. If a minor has across to this show then that is the choice of their legal guardian. You'll start burning books and declaring Elvis-type Rock n' Roll as evil next. Welcome to 1956.hdtvfan0001;3170293 said:This type of "case" is made any time lines get crossed in programming.
The key issue was availability at the current timeslot on network TV, easily available to most <21 year olds. If it was on at 11pm or later...that's another story.
As many in the media have already pointed out, it's an optional cable-channel caliber gore program shown on a national network channel in prime time. There's plenty of this stuff on Showtime, etc. to keep the Dexter-kinda-programming fans oozing in gore to their hearts content.
Enjoy.
There is no "line" as you say. There's no definition of what is "too gory" for what time slot. This is just something that people have made up in an effort to force their beliefs on the rest of us. If you don't like it don't watch, it's pretty simple, but don't dictate what I can and can't watch.hdtvfan0001 said:This type of "case" is made any time lines get crossed in programming.
There is no 11pm slot for network TV at all and you know that. Who are you to decide 11pm is the desired time anyways??? And 21? GIVE ME A BREAK!hdtvfan0001 said:The key issue was availability at the current timeslot on network TV, easily available to most <21 year olds. If it was on at 11pm or later...that's another story.
So? That's a lame statement... "There's plenty of..." Please... There's plenty of reality shows yet we continue to get them. You don't see me calling my local affiliates or the press because there's too much reality. You know why? I don't try to dictate what others should watch!hdtvfan0001 said:As many in the media have already pointed out, it's an optional cable-channel caliber gore program shown on a national network channel in prime time.

Just out of curiosity have you seen Full Metal Jacket? It was on this weekend is why I am asking. The scene in the "HEAD" when the marine shoots Sgt. Hartman is pretty gruesome. The Following is tame compared to it.jimmie57 said:It was for me. Wow, it is pretty far out on the edge. Not sure if I will watch it again.
