This is the logical end result of the liberal model of television drama and comedy. They need to keep “pushing the limits” to keep people interested. Look back at what was “edgy” sexual banter in the 70s and it sounds almost quaint — you could get giggles by just suggesting two people were going to have sex. Now you need full frontal nudity to keep people interested. Give it 20 years and they'll have people having sex on TV with a small amount of pixilation. And people will be board with it. Titillation is no substitute for good writing.

The shows which do more harm than most are the ones like “Seinfeld” in which casual sex is treated as totally proper and normal.

The fact that it can be really funny does not change the fact that it harms the nation.
