Show Ph02The Herald JoumalCachn Friday September 24 1993 Cache ‘NYPD Blue’ Some things should best be left private and forget NYPD Blue There are bigger fish to fty this week KSL die local CBS affiliate deserves a round of applause In these days at sneers and Weeding heart outrage at any mention of censorship die book burners at KSL saved our virgin eyes Sunday night when they chose to pull the dug on a few seconds erf despicable programming during 60 Minute Three cheers Imagine! Dining a program about a modem art auction we were almost faced to see a ceramic men’s urinal right up n close and personal Of all the bad taste pornographic ploys have they no decency? I know that when I go into a men’a bathroom — the rest room — I immediately snap my head away lest my eyes actually have to look at to see die urinal on the waD KSL saved us As Moriey Safer waltzed through other outrageous examples of what at least someone in this world calls “art” KSL had the vision to spot dud urinal before we could and black it out Safer’s voice could soil be heard but the screen remained a pure peaceful blue I don’t know if you realize the significance or not (you might drink I’m kidding) but think about this buster Women may have been watching! Your wife might have seen that! Or worse even still young girls could have sneaked a look they could have seen their first urinaL Minors! Need I say more So join me — thank you KSL Let’s go after ad those commercials for feminine hygiene products on the lifetime channel next Did anybody miss NYPD Blue on KTVX the ABC channel? Yeah right I know Who could have skipped it after die advertising blitz by die Rev Donald Wildmon and his American Family Association I mean was anyone going to watch the show before these people began their crusade to save our children from die three seconds of naked butt they got to see if they tuned in7 So I watched and I liked what I saw That is I liked the show and don’t understand the outrage Is censoring this show really going to protect anyone’s children? Look if die highlight of your kid’s life is that one moment when they can get a peek at a blink’s worth of female skin every other month so on TV then your kid needs a life NYPD Blue is not die problem I’ve seen swimsuits with more butt bra commercials with more skin and heard rougher language at Lojgan High’s powder puff football game Tuesday night The one minute bedroom acene in NYPD Blue was passionless not erotic at all and I’ll agree it easily could have been cut from the show I’m not a prude but the acene was a boring distraction from an otherwise sharp plot It should have been developed and saved for week three four or five The characters on die other hand sizzled with fury with energy with realism The show is good and will get better as aoon as the rage diea down Dennis Franz as die cop sets the stakes early with crudeness and a passion to plug the mob Oh alcoholic New York detectives really do talk like dun? Surprise His partner — David Caruso die man in die bedroom acene whose btot no one gets to see — is a foil but with an equally electrified undertone a man who is erne to cuff a few mob heads before the ahow gets axed But it won’t get axed too soon Why? Because it's good People will watch it Fifteen million watched last week and most were pleased If you don't like cop shows turn the channel to Dateune NBC If you can stand urinals stay out of the baduoaoL That’s yow choice Bat I don’t want television stations making up my mind for me 4 MICHAEL HEDGES By Putrick Williams Utah Nationally known guitarist Michael Hedges will appear at Hall Concert die Kent m State University at 730 pjn Wednesday of the Chase Fine Arts Center scum-ridde- nde-vie- 5 NEH MUSEUM OPENS By Patrick WUhams No less than three exhibitions open Tuesday at Utah State University's Nora Ecdes Harrison Museum of Art kicking off die school year at fee museum A series of lectures activities for children and an opening reception are also slated w 8 LOOKING BACK ByAJ Simmonds series by historian AJ Simmonds takes a look at the impacts humans have made on die Bear River A long-ter- m a 9 CIRCUS IS COMING The Singling Bros and Banmm and Bailey Circus celebrating the 200th anniversary of circus in America win appear at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City ol high-volta- ge 7 lm Vitale Cach&odttor 10 THE MINI PAGE By Betty Deboam Two pages especially for children This week: In the United Stales There is Greek Everywhere 12 A LOOK BACK By ftktF Schmid A collection of historic Logan photoa recently Somers to USU hss the historians in Special Merrill Library exd ted SlCOVER: railway in A A" t'v i rArrAv m i' id' rVV i " t ll'O Vi ii n kj IT by Ray 4e The photos allow thn construction of thn Logan around 1915 and Brigham Young 1900 Photos courtesy of USU gJWrhUaround f v I |
