Many viewers of the hit CBS show “2 Broke Girls” refuse to turn the other cheek — or the channel.
Instead, at least 91 “fans” of the show have made informal complaints to federal regulators over the last two years about the crude sexual double entendres and outright crassness of the show.
Among the complaints of dialogue containing such words and phrases as “shoot on my chest,” “penis alerts,” “bitches,” “girl-on-girl porn,” and “giving head,” according to the complaints sent to the FCC.
The bawdy show, created by Michael Patrick King, whose credits include “Sex and the City,” follows two young women — one rich, one poor — who work as waitresses and try to fulfill dreams of running their own cupcake business.
“Forced fellatio and ejaculation on a woman’s breasts are not prime-time material,” one angry viewer from Kentucky wrote in one complaint, revealed by Governmentattic.org.
Another complaint begged the FCC to do something for her two “shocked” girls.
“At least review the program to see that I am not exaggerating this description,” the viewer wrote about an episode that involved naked dolls being used to illustrate “a graphic sexual act.”
A viewer from Massachusetts, according to Adweek — which reported on the FCC complaint on Thursday — griped about another episode in which the rich, blonde character, Caroline, asks what’s expected on a first date with a poor guy. “Anal,” responds another show character.
“Why has the government been so lax in allowing this?” asks the viewer.
“From constant comments about sexual positions and ejaculation in every orifice to menstrual cycles in much more vulgar terms…Two Broke Girls is unrelenting,” wrote one viewer from Texas, adding that while he found many CBS shows funny, the network should be more responsible about what it airs. “I don’t know when TV censorship died in this country but we need it back.”
Another complaint, from an outraged Californian, cited references to “derogatory homosexual lifestyle behavior, condoms, sluts, getting laid, getting wood, dropping wood, horny and sex with two redheads, just an endless parade of sexual jargon.”
Many viewers were outraged that CBS would air commercials featuring the main characters on stripper poles during the Super Bowl.
The Parents TV Council, which has long been pressing for a clean-up of the government-regulated airwaves, declined to comment on the individual complaints.
CBS said it had no comment on whether the FCC has been in touch on the issue.
Another CBS show, “Two and a Half Men,” also received a boatload of complaints, according to Governmentattic.org.
While most were serious, some did contain some unintended funny moments — like the viewer who wanted to replace “Two and a Half Men” with the late ’50s/early ’60s classic “Leave it to Beaver.”
