In 1988, at the end of Reagan administration, there was a proposed FCC bill which would have banned "indecent broadcasts" on network television 24 hours a day. Fortunately, the bill was killed in Committee and fell into further obscurity during the George H.W. Bush administration. As such, how would the history of television been different for the past 20 years, without the gradual introduction of nudity, graphic language, and violence that we are accustomed to after 9:00 PM/10:00PM C/M (Central/Mountain Time)? Would there have been an NYPD Blue, South Park, or Cheaters?
