Late Monday night, the FCC reversed its rulings against two programs, “The Early Show” and “NYPD Blue,” which it had found “indecent” earlier this year.

“Last night’s decision reinforces the lack of consensus, transparency and clarity that have plagued government efforts to play parent. While the government pondered the accuracy of its own decision against four shows, Americas parents have reviewed, blocked and watched thousands of programs the government may or may not approve of,” said Jim Dyke, TV Watch Executive Director.

“Government officials should spend more time helping parents understand the information available to make informed decisions and the technology available to enforce those decisions rather than trying to make the decisions for all of us," Dyke added.
