These Are The Shows That Are Smutting Up Primetime

[jwplayer id="7186924"]

The Parents Television Council recently released a study that says full frontal nudity on primetime television is up 6300% this year. Naturally, they are appalled and we are stoked, but we're not here to gloat over the corruption of the major networks; we're here to take a special look at the shows that the PTC point at when they complain about the smutification of primetime. We hope you're ready for some blurry full frontal fun!

The people over at PTC actually assembled a nice little video file with some of the clips that concern them, so we uploaded and posted it above for your viewing pleasure. Please allow us to curate!

1. Krysten Ritter in "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23"

Chloe, the titular "B---- in Apartment 23," has some issues understanding boundaries. She waltzes right into her neighbor's kitchen, interrupts her conversation, steals her yogurt, and rubs her naked ass on the kitchen counter. Not only is the PTC upset with the extended view of Krysten's pixelated body, but they also point out the futility of masking swear words behind bleeps and symbols. Melissa Henson, director of communications for the PTC, told Fox News, "'The impact is virtually the same as actually showing it. Just as "bleeping" an "f-word" or "s-word" is virtually the same as airing the actual word [...] It just calls attention to the thing that has been edited out.'" Frankly, we're just worried that people are going to pick up the rude behavior displayed on this show.

2. Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik in "The Bachelor"

This is the kind of stuff we crave from reality TV, right? If we were honest about what we want, we'd demand thermal cameras in every "Real World" and "Big Brother" bedroom so we could finally see what goes on under the sheets at night. So God bless Courtney and Ben for giving us what we want. They want to celebrate their time in Puerto Rico together, and gosh darnit, they should do that without any clothing. Not only is this good for ratings, but they probably got a lot of good exercise from skinny dipping in the cold!

3. Maya Rudolph in "Up All Night"

This clip wasn't included in PTC's little round-up above, but they did have it hanging out in their list of naughty shows, so we thought we'd throw it in as an extra goody. After all, how can we say no to Maya Rudolph in the nude? We've been lusting after her for years and years, and since "SNL" doesn't seem to be down with the faux-full frontal, NBC has to step in and give us what we want with "Up All Night." Anyhow, this clip interests us because it's not sexualized nudity, it's just awkward nudity. We suppose those lines are subjectively drawn, but come on, even the way Maya asks to see Will Arnett naked is unsexy.

4. Jessica Kiper in "Weeds"

This is clearly unpixelated full-frontal nudity and it's from premium channels, but we wanted to include it because you deserve a treat after dealing with all that censored skin. Also, the PTC says that a big factor in the increase of primetime nudity is all of the nakedness that happens on HBO, Showtime, and other subscription channels. So, really, we have babes like Jessica Kiper to thank. Thanks, Jessica!

On a final note, we'd like to point out that most of the clips collected by the Parents Television Council show male genitalia. Does this mean that they have a problem with dicks and not tits? Could the PTC be secretly upset about the dearth of lady body parts on primetime TV? Probably not, but we do wonder about all those dongs...
