Cable networks had started running R-rated motion pictures. So David Milch and I went off and wrote the script, and it was pretty out there. Broadcast Standards and the legal department looked at it and said, \"You can't do this. You have to cut this.\" I walked away.\n\nNine months later, [then ABC head] Bob Iger said, \"Let's try again.\" So we sat in his office like two little boys, drawing dirty pictures: naked men and women. \"How much of this can you see? How much of that?\" Frontal nudity was off the table. But I wanted to have adults in realistic sexual situations. You had to see breasts from the side. You had to see asses. There was no discussion of male tush versus female tush. It was generic tush. I guess it was two years before we pulled even Dennis [Franz]'s pants down.\n\nIt's one of the enduring surprises to me that it pretty much stopped there for network TV. Once we were a hit, I thought it would really open a door. Instead, all of the subsequent breakthroughs came on cable. Of network TV's many failures, that's one."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
