Not really impressed with this

codebreaker

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

bala

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.

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

bala

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 .

codebreaker

This was a great episode and her laughing after making out with Tony was funny

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

bala

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 ?

codebreaker

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

bala

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

codebreaker

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

bala

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

codebreaker

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

codebreaker

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
