“I think that is the first time network television has had an oral sex scene,” declared Julianna Margulies after reporters were shown clips from the upcoming season, including one which showed, um, how her alter ego on THE GOOD WIFE earned that name. When asked by a reporter if she’d researched that statement, the actress became a tad snippy, calling the poor chap “despicable.” Never fret, Julianna, we hear at thetvaddict.com have your back and prove as much by offering up five shows that have previously gone where you’re just now getting around to.
COUGAR TOWN
In the pilot, Jules son had the first of what would become many awkward encounters with his free-spirited mom when he comes home to find that she’s been… pleasuring a suitor.
90210
The remake of the high school sudser opened with a teenage girl showed her boyfriend what she’d learned in sex ed. The Parents Television Council got their panties in a bunch while the rest of America collectively shrugged.
LAW & ORDER: SVU
In the episode “Hooked”, Hayden Panettiere put aside her HEROES pom-poms and broke out the knee pads. When caught in the act, her alter ego insisted she wasn’t having sex. “Just oral!” declared the teen. “Oral sex,” replied an incredulous Detective Benson.
GOSSIP GIRL
May I direct your attention to the season two episode titled “Pret-a-Poor-J” in which we got a rare glimpse of a man (Chuck) doing the hard work courtesy of a steamy fantasy which left Blair needing to… take matters into her own hands, as they say.
FAMILY GUY
Yes, Julianna, cartoon characters were exploring the love that you seem to think dare not speak its name before you got to do it on network television.
