Television hits bottom, digs deeper
Brent Bozell III is righteously--and rightly--
inflamed over tele-sleaze and wants to see it go away. (Consider converting to Islam, Brent--it may get you the right audience.) He knows his TV history, including the long-running, mega-popular, 70s series "Little House on the Prairie," based on the Laura Ingalls Wilder books
much loved by First Lady Laura Bush. Michael Landon may have been the heart-throb star of the show, but Bozell had a soft spot for Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls, "'Half-Pint,' as she was lovingly called by Pa Ingalls." Since that time, though, Ms. Gilbert's career has taken a bizarre turn. Bozell explains:
Perhaps this is a classic example of how pathetically low our society's morals have fallen in 25 years: Melissa Gilbert just guest-starred on the FX cable network's grotesque show "Nip/Tuck." Are you ready for this? As a woman needing to have a nipple replaced ... because her dog bit it off ... during sex.
[...]
It was somehow not enough to have a little light fun of sex with a cow (ABC's "Boston Legal"), or sex with a horse (on Fox's "Keen Eddie") or even violating a parrot with a finger (on the aptly named UPN show "Shasta McNasty").
If you can stomach reading about the show, Bozell has more analysis of "Nip/Tuck"
