Thankfully HBO, Showtime and Starz have been insisting on them.

Just saying...

fark you Showtime for letting Kristin Bell get away with bra and underwear. That's a god damn betrayal to the American public.

And yet, there's HBO's Rome and True Blood to be thankful for.

I'd say he's up to about 250 lbs.?

This is also commonly referred to as it's less formal name, "the giggity clause".

Isn't Xena dead? I'm certainly not complaining about the boobies, but is the new Spartacus another prequel?

No, this series is a sequel. She survived the attack.

The first full episode is actually online at DailyMotion.com - at least for now.

Huh...that's how the first season went: Great 1st episode, decent, but nowhere near as good 2nd, fanTAStic third.

Hmm. Spiffy works for me, but that opening sentence really suggests that the Hero tag would have been more appropriate here.

Especially the Entertainment Lawyers.

CSP: I used to work at the Texas Tech Papa John's. The Law School ordered fairly regularly. Most of the groups tipped decently, even if there was some wide variation of the tips.

Except for the Entertainment Lawyers. Rat-faced, mealy mouth, drug-for-celebrity-buying, needle-dicked farkers never tipped, and always made me wait about 10 minutes passed their scheduled drop off time.

Dennis Franz has not done anything this century
he did survive prostate cancer in 1998.

"The performer has the right to refuse to do [nudity] once they have agreed to do it," says Screen Actors Guild rep Elizabeth Moseley.

"Basically, it is not binding. If the performer changes their mind, the producer (only) has the right to use a body double."

Yeah, but for some actors they probably shouldn't be surprised if they get written off for not cooperating, I mean because that is what the story required.

Of course someone like Kristen bell has too big a name to be forced into it that way, but come on we saw some decent shots in Forgetting Sarah Marshal, wouldn't mind a repeat performance of that.

I find that I enjoy the shows from HBO, Showtime and Stars more than any show on network tv in fact I don't even have cable anymore just Netflix. I enjoy the nudity, because it is nice to be able to view someone that there is no chance of viewing in real life.

MrEricSir: Sounds like a marketing ploy to make people buy "uncut" DVDs of their favorite shows.

probably. I forgot who was talking about this, but some director guy was suggesting that you shouldn't buy uncut DVDs.

basically, the uncut version means that they did not follow the director's vision, and it's a way to release something that significantly reduces the amount that goes to the artists.

/ plus, the uncut stuff is usually just a worse take or screwed up editing. or something. i don't really remember what i read.

It is just nice to not have to suspend your disbelieve that every woman leaves her bra on for sex.

Kristen Bell, who came to fame 10 years ago as a crime-solving high school student on "Veronica Mars," agreed to work in a bra and panties - but not the Full Monty - in the new sex-filled Showtime drama "House of Lies."

DAMNIT!!!!

I dunno. I think I like the way TV is now. It makes boobies more special when you finally get to play with them.

Don't know if I want to look at boobs one day and go, "Meh," because they're so commonplace.

Finally, a reason to watch 2 Broke Girls.

There is nothing legally stopping broadcast TV from doing nudity now, after 10 p.m. In prime time it's problematic because 10 p.m. Eastern time is 9 p.m. Central time, but this could be (mostly) fixed by restructuring to have separate feeds for each time zone. If the Supreme Court actually strikes down indecency regulation then who knows. There are plenty of countries that don't fret about this sort of thing.

I don't think anyone should be forced to do nudity, but if you're an actor on a show that centers around sex or at least includes a lot of sexual content in the writing then you know what you're getting into. Also if you're on a show that's on HBO, Showtime, or Starz, then you should expect it - it's a large reason people watch those shows (other than the fact that they're just usually better in general). If you're unwilling to get nude, someone else will do it. Don't let the door hit your covered ass on the way out.

I'll also say that some of those actresses who do get nude on some of those HBO shows have gotten more attractive to me, like Anna Paquin for instance. I always find her kind of odd looking, but thanks to all her nude scenes on True Blood, I find her sexy now.

Now those channels just need to take the next step and show everything (both men and women) instead of just teasing the audience with booby shots (not that those are bad). Yah, I know that's not going to happen, but one can dream :P.

"That's information I bet Showtime wish hadn't gotten out," he thought, as he deleted that craptastic show from his DVR.

these people are entertainers. they don't have to be. surely the shakespearean actors can also lament that their craft is not in wide demand for television audiences, just as non-nude semi-talented actresses will not be in wide demand after the changes in fcc policy.

Yes and lays with the sheet around her neck or wraps it around her when she gets out of bed. I still don't get the sex with the covers over the back of the person ontop even when they do show the breasts. I can not recall anytime in my life that I had sex under the covers even during the winter in Iowa those covers go bye bye.
