The “B” in ABC

By: American Decency Staff

By Lisa Van Houten As we reported last week, ABC has added another show to its lineup referencing the word “b—châ€Â in the title, “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt. 23.â€Â See our analysis of last week’s premiere episode. The creator of “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt. 23â€Â is Nahnatchka Khan, a proclaimed lesbian, who previously worked as a writer of the extremely lewd and vulgar show “American Dad,â€Â airing on Fox TV.  Khan has said about her new show, "I hope that America loves it despite the fact that it can (be) … raunchy…â€Â Even the show’s creator proudly describes the show as raunchy!  That’s one thing we can agree on. Click here to urge the sponsors to pull their support from this blatantly raunchy show. Of the 14 advertisers from last week’s premiere episode, only 2 returned to advertise on last night’s second episode.  The two returned were Warner Brothers (a Hollywood movie company) and a local ad – Meijer’s supermarket. Last night’s advertisers included Tropicana, Olive Garden, TJ Maxx, Volkswagen, Claritin, and Samsung. The show centers on two New York roommates – June, the “good girl,â€Â and Chloe, the proclaimed psychopathic “bad girl.â€ÂÂ  Although, ABC uses a different “Bâ€Â word to describe her, other than “bad. One reviewer stated about the two characters:  “…viewers might like the June/Chloe pairing so much, they might want to see the two together romantically.â€Â In reply, Khan, the show’s creator, reportedly said while she doesn’t have immediate plans to do so, she could see that happening. In last night’s episode the character Chloe makes crude references to sexual exploits with women, as well as with men.  Khan described the character’s bisexuality as: “Whatever is sexy and awesome and fun." While roommate June seems to have no interest in “batting for the other side,â€Â this episode showed her in bed with Chloe’s married father. Express your concern to the advertisers of this show who are empowering the increasing lewdness on network television.
