Fear of FCC Action Prompts Cuts in New WB Sex-Ed Drama 'The Bedford Diaries'
'"We don't believe that the show should have been edited, but the network is very fearful of what the FCC has been doing recently," Levinson said Thursday. "They're intimidating the networks and levying these fines, so the networks are not sure of what they can or can't do."'
'The network, which has used the Internet before to promote new series, is streaming a full, uncut version of the pilot on its Web site. The cast includes Matthew Modine, Milo Ventimiglia and Audra McDonald.'

Personally, I applaud the FCC and The WB for their actions. But I also believe that The WB needs to NOT show the cut scenes on their web site.
Contact your local WB station and thank them for having some decency but to also let them know they shouldn't be showing those cut scenes anywhere.

Contact the FCC and thank them for enforcing standards on the networks.
