    Anyone watch it?

    Were you deeply offended?

    Any TV license burning?

    Didn't watch it, but if I wanted to hear lots of swearing I would just buy an american ganster rap album.

    I saw it.

    I thought it was quite offensive in that the language was awful but I couldn't see any valid reason to ban it. As far as blasphemy was concerned, the Jesus, Devil, Mary and God in the show were not portrayed as 'real' but as figments of the imagination of the Jerry Springer character so there were no real grounds for complaints by Christians there. Anyway, everyone knows that if you want to take a show off you just have to murder the author.

    I thought the show was mildly amusing, quite clever and well performed but it was hardly great art and it had all the intellectual weight of a beach ball. I wouldn't give it any awards.

    Oh, and Hutch was very impressive but where was Starsky?
