[*] Monday, February 4, the ABC television network will air a made for TV movie, "Consenting Adult", based on Laura Hobson's novel of the same name. I hope it will be as good as the book, which I read several years ago. One thing that bothers me is the way the TV networks treat any program that seriously deals with homosexuality. They always pre- cede the program with warnings that material presented "may not be suitable for all family members". This is evident in Showtime's series "Brothers" in which each show is preceded with a message about "parental discretion is advised". Nothing in this series could really be called "adult" material. Except for once or twice the word "sh*t" appearing, this show could be on the commercial TV networks. I did not watch "Making Love" on the commercial network. I wonder what parts they cut out. I would bet if anything, they cut the part where Zack and Bart kissed. I know this scene caused quite a commotion in the theater. Does anyone know if any scenes were cut from the TV presentation? -Jim Griggers
