What Hollywood Wants for Regulating Indecency on TV

Executive Director of the Creative Coalition and producer Robin Bronk

Conservative groups argue that there has to be some accountability for the networks, or they have no incentive to keep obscenity off the air.
You know what, that's out of whack. Having the FCC step in our living rooms is not the solution. You're a consumer; it's show business. So don't give the shows your business if you don't think they're appropriate. Vote with your remote control. If there's an outcry from enough consumers, the medium will change, the shows that you don't think should be appropriate will get off the air. It's a wonderful thing, capitalistic society.

So do you think the "F" word will be on TV more in the future?
That's not what I'm saying. If I hear the "F" word, or my children hear it, they should know that is not appropriate. I need to teach them that. And also, if I have a fear of "fleeting expletives," I can take out the television, or I can just have it on the networks I feel are safe. That's the great thing about it. What might feel safe in my living room might not feel safe in your living room, but we can make that choice.
