I forgot about Californication last night, but it was flicked on TV so I watched the last 10 minutes of it. By the rate Family First were going, I was expecting to see a sex scene within five seconds of watching the show. Alas, one didn’t happen until 2 minutes in. But even then it was just some simple boobs with a carefully placed hand to hide the really dirty part of a womans body.

Then it went into the sex, (”I want a fuck” she said, how unpredictable). Pants go off the main character and then we see the doggy style. It was sort of like porn but with both characters (?) taking center stage. Then, she started getting into it, pushed him back and he hit his head on the wall, picked up the painting that fell off, and they both threw up.

OK, so 9.30pm perhaps felt a wee bit too early for such things, but then there was that sex scene in NZ dramedy Rude Awakenings, and that was on before 9.30. Didn’t hear anything about that. Also, there was a TV show on TV One where the second scene of the first episode was two guys having sex with both characters being in full view (whereas later in the episode there was a sex scene with a man and a woman, but the camera was limited to above the chest). Recently, there was Eating Media Lunch on TV2 which had a woman having sex with a chicken (a re-enactment of the sex tape shown a police party).

Of course though, there are numerous instances of sex on TV (these days we even have breasts shown during the 6pm news) but these are the things I sort of expected to hear something from Family First. Maybe though they’ve now shifted their bed time from 8.30pm to 10pm and are getting grumpy and irritable from the lack of sleep.

To be honest though, Californication wasn’t that funny so probably won’t end up watching it again.

(PS, I find it rather ironic that Burger King dropped their ads from the program. Their ads are just women in bikini’s with the Burger King logo slapped at the end! One was even banned for having too many sexual overtones.)
