Fox Hit With Indecency Charges Over "American Dad" Episode

[DToTheJ]

Update: The FCC is now proposing a $25,000 fine to Fox - specifically, "Fox Television Stations" - for refusing to honor the FCC's request for information regarding the controversial "horse scene" from an episode of "American Dad". Usually, such a fine is $4,000, but it was increased by the Commission, citing Fox's "ability to pay."

The so-called "bank vault" episode of Family Guy was the worst episode I've ever seen. It was sooooooooo boring! As for the American Dad episode, I didn't see it, but with the reference to the horse, I may think twice about that, too.

I didn't see it on tv either...however the clip is on hulu, lol.

There are a couple of The Cleveland Show episodes that were kind of crude and raunchy, the one episode where Cleveland's aunt/uncle transsexual came to visit and started hitting on not just the women but the men as well

Yeah, that one was too much for me.

I thought the bank vault episode was very funny. Sick, but funny.

Too late to say this ahead of time, but I saw the listing for last nights episode after TiVo recorded it for me. I couldn't hit "delete" fast enough! Yes, as much as I enjoyed it then, I don't even want to think about it.
