i found this website for tv show cancelations, what a crock!!!!!!
Though Las Vegas is on its way out, that’s not stopping a conservative watchdog group from taking some final shots at the NBC series. It seems that the Parents Television Council (PTC) has a problem with the last two episodes of Las Vegas. They’ve filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over an image that was shown on the February 15th installments of the five-year-old drama. In the opening moments of the first of two episodes, three young women gather together in the center of the Montecito casino floor and disrobe. They then begin to run around the casino, creating a distraction for some bad guys to start a robbery. As you might expect, this was filmed without showing any objectionable nudity. What the PTC has a problem with is what they claim they can see on small casino security monitors. In a recent press release, they say that the women’s “buttocks are visible, and only shadows obscure their breasts and groins.” In a statement, PTC President Tim Winter said, “This crossed the line of common sense decency. NBC seems eager to test the FCC’s resolve to fine stations for violating broadcast decency laws. I remind NBC that the broadcast airwaves are public property. The TV networks do not own them. The TV stations do not own them. The industry must be held accountable for the content they air and the FCC must act in the public interest by slapping NBC with a significant indecency fine.” These fines are serious business. A few weeks ago, the FCC hit 52 ABC affiliate stations with a fine of $1.4 million because of a 2003 episode of NYPD Blue. As you might expect, NBC has had no comment on the complaint as yet. Though the series won’t be back on NBC next season, the network will still have to pay the fine if the FCC agrees with the PTC. Could this complaint from the conservative watchdog group have had a hand in getting Las Vegas cancelled? Even if the peacock network had already decided the drama’s fate, this issue over the series finale likely ensures the network won’t be changing their mind. Stay tuned! ok first of all, who are these people in this group and were they watching something different than me, i just watched the show again and have no idea what they are talkin about!!!!!!! i think these jackasses need to mind their own business!!!!!!!! if they didn't like the way they did things on the show, who put a gun to their head to watch it!!!!!!! |

it just makes me wonder if this was a major reason for nbc to cancel the show, could the fine have been big enough??????????

What the F*CK. this has got to be a joke. Incredible what kind of sheet this FCC+PTC(MF) can do. I can´t believe it. I hope this is not the reason they shut down the show. If that the way they make millions by looking for mistakes in shows and only in the best shows where they can get something. This gays need to bee...... :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry

like i said before, i don't know if this is the real reason but i just watched the show in question and i saw no such thing!!!!!! these damn holy rollers have nothing else better to do than to start trouble!!!!!! first of all, who told them to watch the show anyway??????? second, who told them to let their kids watch this show?????? their kids should've been in bed anyway!!!!!!!! and they do have such things as parental controls on tv's and computers now so if they didn't want their kids to watch, then just block it!!!!!!! people need to stop being petty, get a life and stop being assholes!!!!!! i went on the website for this parental thing, what a crock!!!!!!! these people think they're so perfect and stuff but watch, half their kids are probably crackheads and trouble makers!!!!!! they need to stop worrying about whats on tv and maybe pay more attention to their own problems!!!!!!

I agree with you 100%. I´m not from the states but I heard people saw for anything to get money and this proofs it. Why do the parent concentrate on what their kids are doing on the streets or what channels their watching after 12am you know R18. This is so pathetic. :angry: :angry:

Typical of the PTC wanting to stick their noses where it doesn't belong. Go back to watching Qubo, you damn fools! Why would you even allows your kids to watch this show AFTER the 7-9 PM CT hours anyways? I would certainly hope this was not the main factor in NBC giving up on the show because that would be just plaid assinine! Parents need to take a better responsibility as to what their kids watch nowadays and then people wonder why we live in such a screwed-up society now!
