Not really impressed with this

Very similar to the UK version but this is going to be a lot more censored compared to Channel 4's but the old guy on the bus trying to watch the phone video was amusing

Yes it's definatly censored beep out swearing really change the show but it's a good attempt at the show but it's needs to be more shocking. . i can't believe parent group made a big deal if they saw British they would have an heart attack.

'Skins' -- Parents Org. Wants Kiddy Porn Investigation



The sex-obsessed, drug-heavy MTV show "Skins" is under fire from a very powerful parents org. that's now calling for a federal investigation into potential child pornography violations ... TMZ has learned.

The Parents Television Council has fired off a letter to the U.S Department of Justice AND the U.S. Senate and House Judiciary Committees ... over concerns the show uses underage actors in graphic sexual situations.

The organization explains, "In addition to the sexual content on the show involving cast members as young as 15, PTC counted 42 depictions and references to drugs and alcohol in the premiere episode."

The group adds, "It is clear that Viacom has knowingly produced material that may well be in violation of [several anti-child pornography laws].  

Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that MTV execs have already met to discuss the issue.

So far, no comment from MTV.

Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-25-2011 07:27     Subject: Skins (US) 1x02 Tea

Betty going back to Tea's place was amusing especially when she meet her family in the morning and then her Nan joining her in bed as she was enjoying her own company was funny

Tea place is crazy and her family is big but the fact none of them know about her is amusing and introduce Betty to family after their sleep over was funny . Her dad really cares enough to kidnap that guy that hassling his daughter was amusing.

Did you notice that they edited out make out part , with (Naomi from uk version) they didn't.   

That blind date was funny when she realise it was Tony but dancing with him was great that wasn't  what i was thinking when she threw her jumper on the floor but the laughing was a turn off

Tea is rather attractive but this great episode much better than Tony episode and more interesting .

What was Chris thinking by spending all that money and not realising his mother had gone but how embarrassing having a hard on for so long, i forgot about Michelle odd shaped breasts from the original show
Author: bala    Time: 2-1-2011 09:10     Subject: Reply 11#11 codebreaker's post

Yes i had forgotten about that but chris spend $1000 in a day was ridiculous but falling down naked down the stairs might have hurt. I found funny him getting locked outside his house. i also forgot about teacher and student relationship.

It's sad to think her friends think of her as drug dealer i mean none of them are concerned about her the only reason they are friends with her is because she can get prescription drugs for her . Her mother is selfish person and her dad is just a bit strange i am surprised she didn't shoot him when they were on the hunting trip . That guy was a bit creep hitting on her.

Don't none of these kids go to school ?

Stanley using Cadie to get the blue pills was cruel and the Doctor giving her the pills wants a check up from the neck up herself and Michelle mother was a handful but her boyfriend was a pervert at the party

Well these are teenagers who are self fish you sometimes wonder how these people don't social services checking up on them

These American shows have most people seeing councillors and popping pills for one thing or another

Well sometimes you wonder why they become parent sometimes it might be an accident but when you decided keep the kid you need to be responsible
Author: codebreaker    Time: 2-15-2011 07:44     Subject: 1x05 Stanley

The bicycle accident was amusing and the guys stalling the teacher because Stanley was late was nice and Michelle getting jealous was just like the UK version but Stanley wrecking his dads old banger i thought was funny and what the judge said about his dad after letting it go to court was great
Author: codebreaker    Time: 2-23-2011 11:03     Subject: 1x06 Abbud

That was one tough but lucky mousse and Abbud should of known better than trying to kiss Tea but finding her with Tony was too much for him
Author: bala    Time: 2-28-2011 12:22     Subject: Reply 19#19 codebreaker's post

Yeah Stanley friends are great but using the car to speed didn't go to plan . The way Tony treats Michelle was so bad but Stanley doesn't have much luck either, these love triangle are always predictable. i also thought was funny  what the judge said about his dad after letting it go to court was great . I like ending with them tell truth to each other
Author: bala    Time: 2-28-2011 13:10     Subject: Reply 20#20 codebreaker's post

What his friend did to Abbud was awful telling the custom officer he had a bomb up his behind must of hurt . It was rather funny they didn't show them checking .Chris making out with the teacher when other teacher was in the tent was amusing.Licking the toad was disgusting .

I really felt bad for him finding Tea and Tony but seriously fall off the pole was crazy he's lucky and he has every right to be angry at her.   

ps: finding out who the stranger in woods was funny since Abbud was driven away with her.
Author: bala    Time: 3-1-2011 07:42     Subject: Michelle

Wow this was great episode she finally had it with Tony and it's a good thing the doctor ran her mother test on her because she found out she had a clamp.Her mother really get around and i am surprised she turn out so normal.

Stanley get opportunity with Michelle was great but he got a little too excited quickly but found it amusing her hand stunk down his pant. You really do feel sorry for her because you would think she knew about Tony but her friend trying keep it a secret backfired on all of them.  

But that was one hell of goodbye she gave Tony just when you think she was fall for him again she told him get lost

It's a good job Stanley was over excited or he may of also caught chlamydia from Michelle and she was lucky the doctor examined her by mistake but i liked the way she finished it by one last fling because they were STD compatible

She had a condom in her bra she told stanley about
Author: bala    Time: 3-8-2011 05:39     Subject: Daisy

Well a nice episode but Abed was lucky after trying to get laid for the whole season he get offer from unexpected friend but it look like they could become more
Author: codebreaker    Time: 3-8-2011 05:44     Subject: Reply 26#26 bala's post

I can understand why Daisy covered for her sister for the damage to the piano but sacrificing her audition money to replace it was sad and Abbud screams of joy was amusing
Author: bala    Time: 3-8-2011 06:34     Subject: Reply 27#27 codebreaker's post

Wow her sister look identical to her
Author: codebreaker    Time: 3-15-2011 08:17     Subject: 1x09 Tina

Chris's brother watching Tina come down the ladder was amusing and Tina pulling the fire alarm to get out of her own test was crazy and why do they produce a show with bad language only to bleep some off them out, Dave getting Tina arrested should of been expected
Author: bala    Time: 3-15-2011 08:27     Subject: Reply 29#29 codebreaker's post

Yeah but policeman giving Chris a doll and asked him whether she trust him was strange surely it male doll not a female doll?
Author: codebreaker    Time: 3-23-2011 15:44     Subject: 1x10 Eura - Everyone

The woman on the ladder got more than she bargained for when she saw Chris which was amusing but Cadie and Stanley on stage was impressive, Stanley getting the kiss he wanted from Michelle was a nice way to end the first season

Yeah stanley getting the kiss was nice but Eura really knew how to get the whole gang together but i did think it was amusing when Tony parents were argue about him and she decides to strip off and pour milk over herself

Music Television has dropped the Guillotine of Cancellation on the neck of its controversial, often-shirtless teen drama Skins, a.k.a. American Apparel Ads: The Series. The big question that one person out there is now asking himself is, "Was it canceled because of ratings, or because it was too controversial?" I've got this one: Yes, yes, and also because it was terrible. There wasn't even a werewolf in it. [EW]
