FCC: ‘Angel’ wasn’t indecent
A love scene from the canceled TV show “Angel” that showed a female character turning into a vampire and biting her partner’s neck did not overstep federal indecency rules, the Federal Communications Commission ruled Friday.
It was one of two scenes from a November 2003 episode of “Angel” that were not “sufficiently graphic or explicit to render the program patently offensive” by contemporary standards, the FCC said in denying an indecency complaint from the Parents Television Council.
“Angel,” which was canceled by the WB last year after five seasons, starred David Boreanaz as an 18th century vampire.
