Update: Controversy surrounding the upcoming NBC show "The Playboy Club" continues hop up as the Parents Television Council has exhorted NBC affiliates to pull the program. In a letter dated July 25, PTC President Tim Winter told stations, " urge you ... to preempt the program in your community" citing concerns over potential salacious content. The letter also states "NBC is breaking the law with this show," that according to the Pink Cross Foundation, a faith-based organization for former pornography industry employees.
The show, which features Amber Heard, Naturi Naughton and Laura Benanti, focuses on the lives of the famed Bunnies as well as clientele of the original Playboy Club in 1960s. The Playboy Club was a nightclub started by Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner in its then headquarters of Chicago.

TV watchdog Parents Television Council already targeted NBC's new drama The Playboy Club during the pilot stage, blasting parent Comcast over nudity clauses in the actors' contracts. Now, following a Mormon Church-owned Utah NBC affiliate's decision not to carry the show, the PTC is urging more stations to follow suit and preempt the drama set in the 1960s at the first Playboy Club in Chicago. The PTC mocks the official series description, “a sophisticated series about the transitional times of the early 1960s and the complex lives of a group of working-class women." "Putting a veneer of sophistication on an industry that exploits women and destroys families is not laudable, it is disgraceful," PTC president Tim Winter wrote in letters sent out to NBC stations around the country. "In what manner does such the airing of such material reconcile with your public interest obligations as a broadcast licensee?" The letter quotes Shelley Lubben,...

NBC's forthcoming drama, The Playboy Club, is continuing to draw controversy from a variety of morality groups. Starring Eddie Cibrian and Amber Heard and set at the original Playboy Club in Chicago in the 1960s, the series already sounds like a pretty blatant attempt to cash in on the runaway success of that other super-stylish show set in the '60s featuring sexy people sexily screwing each other over in a variety of sexy ways. The one with the hats and the redhead. The Playboy Club already survived the pseudo-drama of being boycotted by Ksl, a Church of Latter-Day Saints-owned Salt Lake City affiliate, when it was picked up by another station in the area, but now two new religious groups are in a tizzy over the show's allegedly racy content. Pink Cross, a public charity founded by Shelley Lubben, a former adult-film star turned religious anti-porn crusader, [...]...

NBC thought they'd be getting a major hit with this coming fall's new stylized 60s drama, "The Playboy Club." So far, the early returns have mostly involved some major controversy.
Of course, when it comes to TV, the latter often leads to the former.
Starring Eddie Cibrian as a shady yet charming lawyer and Amber Heard as a new employee at the original Chicago Playboy Club, the show is an hourlong drama meant to mimic the style and feel of "Mad Men."
Having already weathered the storm of Ksl, a Church of Latter-day Saints-owned Salt Lake City affiliate refusing to air the show (it was eventually picked up by a MyNetworkTV affiliate in the city), NBC has been hit with concurrent protests by two religious, anti-porn groups, who are calling for viewers to sign petitions against the show's broadcast, and promising to boycott advertising sponsors.

Bittersweet. Wholly bittersweet. Dead Like Me: Life After Death presents fans of the original series with a quandary. What is Dead Like Me without Rube (Mandy Patinkin)?
The new Dead Like Me feature film, reprising the plot of the ill-fated television series, answers that question but in a way that most fans will find lacking. By most accounts, getting 70% of an original cast back together 5 years after it ended (quite abruptly, I might add) would seem like a dream come true. Did we notice Laura Harris, who played Daisy Adair, was replaced by Sarah Wynter? You bet your ass we did. Did we care as much? No. What really gets at us - eats at us - is the void left by Rube's absence. Sure, they play it off decently well in the story but you can't replace the grounding character of...

Back among the non-living Showtime canceled Dead Like Me back in 2004 after just two seasons, but five years later it’s been resurrected in straight-to-dvd movie form. MGM announced today that Dead Like Me: Life After Death will be released on February 17th, and it will again star Ellen Muth and Callum Blue. The characters of Joy, Roxy, and Daisy back as well, but Mandy Patinkin is gone, which is probably good news for everyone considering his behavior at his last job, Criminal Minds. Instead, there will be a new head reaper and the story takes off from there. Two writers/EPs from the series wrote the screenplay, but it looks like series creator Bryan Fuller (of the recently canceled Pushing Daisies) was not involved. A new complete series collection of Dead Like Me will also be released on February 17th. It will include both seasons and the new movie.

If you're missing the ol' Dead Like Me crew as much as I am, you're going to be excited to hear that MGM will be release Dead Like Me: Life After Death, the made-for-dvd movie on February 17. Also arriving the same day is the Complete Collection, featuring both season and the feature film. In the feature, when Calvin Kane, a slick businessman who couldn't care less about helping the newly dead, takes over Rube's Head Reaper duties, all hell breaks loose, bringing out the worst in Daisy, Roxy, and Mason. George, however, is determined to set her latest, botched reap right, especially because the boy who was supposed to die, Hudson Hart, is her little sister Reggie's secret boyfriend. In the process, George and Reggie re-connect for real, for the first time.
