Parents Television Council Angered by Sons of Anarchy Sex Montage
FX’s Sons of Anarchy has angered the Parents Television Council due to the fact that the basic cable series opened up last week’s episode with a series of sex scenes. The sequence showcased the emotional state of several of the series’ main characters. And for those that were paying attention, it also featured plenty of star Charlie Hunnam’s posterior assets. The montage featured six couples indulging in various sexual acts (and one character was masturbating). It was dubbed “the fucktage” by show insiders.
PTC President Tim Winter: “It’s official: In order to watch cable news, ESPN, Disney or the History Channel, every family in America must now also pay for pornography on FX. Last week’s episode of Sons of Anarchy opened with the most sexually explicit content we’ve ever seen on basic cable, content normally found on premium subscription networks like HBO or Showtime … If FX wants to be like HBO and air this kind of explicit content, then they should become a premium network … Families should not be forced to underwrite pornography. Cable Choice is a solution whose time has come, and there could hardly be a better example of it than this.”
It’s worth mentioning that Sons of Anarchy airs at 10pm ET and that FX runs a TV-MA advisory warning before the show (and after every commercial break).

FX has renewed the vampire-virus thriller The Strain, from executive producers Guillermo del Toro and Carlton Cuse, for a 13-episode second season that will debut in summer 2015.

We look forward having [The Strain] on FX for as long as Carlton, Guillermo and Chuck Hogan need to tell this epic tale.”
The Strain drew 12.7 million total viewers for its series premiere. The horror series has averaged 4.5 million viewers for first-run episodes, including DVR playback.
