Topic: Oz television program


  
  Oz (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oz was the first one-hour dramatic television series to be produced by HBO.
Oz took advantage of the freedoms of cable television to show material that would be too extreme for traditional broadcast networks: coarse language, drug use, violence, male frontal nudity, homosexuality, rape, and ethnic and religious conflict.
This was also the case in Israel, where Oz was displayed on the free-to-air, commercial Channel 2, the United Kingdom where Channel 4 aired the show late night and in Ireland on TG4 where it was shown at 11pm.

 Salon.com People | What happens when you satirize hysteria?
Following the July 26 broadcast of "Brass Eye," a satirical television program poking fun at the hysterical and sensational way the media deals with pedophilia, politicians, the public and, of course, itself, the media have been queuing up to condemn the program and "Brass Eye" creator Chris Morris.
It was always going to be a controversial program, but nobody, except perhaps Morris himself, could have predicted the deluge of recrimination, condemnation and spluttering indignation that greeted the latest installment of his scabrously funny satire.
Introducing the offending program with the words "Welcome to Pedogeddon," Morris and his team of writers gleefully filleted every media cliché, mob reaction and hysterical misconception about pedophilia that has stalked Britain and Ireland for the last 18 months.

Washington, D.C. - The Parents Television Council recently released results of the second in a series of comprehensive reports examining the State of the Television Industry—a study focusing on the amount of foul language on television from 1998 through 2002.
A new study of television's so-called "family hour" (the first hour of prime time) found that youngsters watching network television last season were exposed to more coarse language, violence and bawdy humor than in the previous year, according to the Parents Television Council.
Also be aware that individual programs within a series might vary from the norm and would therefore warrant a lower or higher rating, if evaluated individually.
