WB Tones Down "Diaries"

March 24, 2006

It must be pretty difficult to de-emphasize the sex in a TV show about sex. But the WB is gonna try.

When "The Bedford Diaries" premieres Wednesday at 9 p.m., viewers will be seeing a toned-down version of the show's pilot, which was recently edited for fear of incurring the wrath of a punishment-happy FCC.

"They're intimidating the networks and levying these fines, so the networks are not sure of what they can or can't do."
