Conservative religious and family groups said Friday that they plan to file complaints with the FCC charging that ABC violated the agency's indecency regulations when it aired Saving Private Ryan Thursday night. Fearing such action and the possibility that they might be fined, some 66 ABC affiliates refused to carry the broadcast, which nevertheless produced the largest Thursday-night audience that the network has been able to attract this season. Among the groups complaining about the Ryan screening was the Rev. Donald Wildmon's American Family Association, which cited the film's "excessively profane language." It added, "ABC crossed the line by airing at least 20 'f' words and 12 's' words during primetime viewing hours!" The FCC acknowledged over the weekend that it had received numerous complaints about the telecast.
People need to just shutup. I am sick of conservative religous and family groups trying to control everything. If you dont like whats on TV, switch the Channel or turn off the tv. Dont try to control others just because u dont like it. Oh yeah it was a movie shown as a tribute for veterans day. War is hell people should know about it, not the sanatized crap you see on tv nowadays.
