  Men's Rights Online - Television Issues
The acceptance of testicular abuse on television is largely due to the existence of political correctness, and the retention of the criminal law exemption and civil law privilege that women received during the implementation of Old English Law.
The television networks are very reluctant to portray the act of clitoral abuse as a form of acceptable and liberating, as the feminists would not allow such content to exist; however the hypocritical policy of *political correctness* allows the concept of testicular abuse to be lauded and accepted.
If the television networks are willing to portray the act of testicular abuse as acceptable then they should also portray the act of clitoral abuse as being acceptable, as there is a vast amount of scientific evidence that offers conclusive proof that the clitoris is as sensitive to pain as the testicles.

 television. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Television has become a major industry, especially in the industrialized nations, and a major medium of communication and source of home entertainment.
Television is put to varied use in industry, e.g., for surveillance in places inaccessible to or dangerous for human beings; in science, e.g., in tissue microscopy (see microscope); and in education.
When a television program is broadcast, the varying electrical signals are then amplified and used to modulate a carrier wave (see modulation); the modulated carrier is usually fed to an antenna, where it is converted to electromagnetic waves and broadcast over a large region.

The new era of magnetic tape television, marking the gradual end of fl-and-white kinescope and color lenticular film, was implemented by NBC in the spring of 1958 at their Burbank studios in California.
After a television broadcast had initially aired, and possibly had its telecast rerun, there was little incentive to hold on to such original videotape material when it could be reused for new programming.
Practically all the sample television programming that has survived from the late 50's and early 60's have come from the archives of the CBS, NBC, and to a lesser extent from the ABC television networks.

 DVDFILE.COM: Peter Pan (1960) review
The musical version of PETER PAN, J.M. Barrie's timeless story of the boy who refuses to grow up, first appeared on television in the very late 1950s, when the Broadway cast including Mary Martin in her Tony Award-winning turn as Peter, and Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook, performed it before the cameras.
In 1960 (one or two years after the original broadcast), the cast was reunited to perform the show live again, this time in color.
Alas, the notes on the cover say this production is "richly preserved in color, with all of the immediacy and technical imperfections of live television." That is, television in 1960.
