Any other stations doing this? I've noticed the same thing about the independent stations here in Orlando too. I've seem topless scenes in movies, for instance. The local PBS station station also seems to be pretty lax about nudity, esp. if it a British produced show. The network stations don't seem to have changed much, but they may have standards they have to observe to maintain their network affiliation. I also remember that the local station that ran The Deer Hunter made a big point in their ads about it being uncut, but I didn't get around to watching it. Joel
