LETTERS DECENCY IN SHORT SUPPLY IN SHOW BIZ.I'm glad to read Patricia Heaton Patricia Heaton (born March 4, 1958 in Bay Village, Ohio) is an Emmy Award-winning American actress best known for playing lead character and Ray Barone's wife Debra Barone on the CBS television sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. (`` 'Blue' language offends,'' U letters, Feb. 16) walked out of the American Music Awards because of the profanity Irreverence towards sacred things; particularly, an irreverent or blasphemous use of the name of God. Vulgar, irreverent, or coarse language. The use of certain profane or obscene language on the radio or television is a federal offense, but in other situations, profanity . At least she had the brains, morals and values to walk out from an overglorified, ego driven, hedonistic he·don·ism n. 1. Pursuit of or devotion to pleasure, especially to the pleasures of the senses. 2. Philosophy The ethical doctrine holding that only what is pleasant or has pleasant consequences is intrinsically good. sham of a show. Where is the decency in these types of shows? The men, and I use that term very loosely, who bring their wives or girlfriends or even concubines to these shows, should be ashamed of themselves. I wouldn't let my own daughter, if I had one, go anywhere looking like a tramp, especially an award show. Clayton F. Meyer, whose opinion I'm referring to, is right on the mark. I have never watched ``NYPD NYPD New York City Police Department (since 1845; New York City, NY, USA) NYPD New York Play Development Blue'' or ``The District'' either and never will. I don't let vulgarity in my home even if it's supposed to be ``real'' or ``artistic.'' - Michael Foxen Canoga Park Craig T. is A-OK I applaud Mr. Meyer for bringing the attention, once again, to the smut smut, name for an order of parasitic fungi (Ustilaginales) and the various diseases of plants caused by them. Smuts produce sootlike masses of spores on the host. that is on TV and the movie screens. I, too, abhor the language and the content. But I was perplexed over his statement about ``The District,'' which he understands is even worse than ``NYPD Blue.'' This tells me he has not seen ``The District.'' I watch very few TV series: ``The West Wing,'' ``ER'' and ``The District.'' Never once have I heard unacceptable language on ``The District.'' Please tune in and see; Craig T. Nelson Craig T. Nelson (born Craig Richard Nelson on April 4, 1944 in Spokane, Washington) is an American actor. He has appeared in numerous motion pictures. He starred in three television shows, Coach, Call to Glory and The District. and his supporting players do a great job!! - Patricia Adams Glendale CAPTION(S): photo Photo: NELSON |
