Action
Action was a short-lived comedy series about a Hollywood producer named Peter Dragon, who is trying to recover from his last box-office failure. It aired on FOX during the 1999-2000 season. The series was critically praised for its irreverent, and sometimes hostile look at Hollywood culture. Thirteen episodes were produced. The show was created by Chris Thompson and the show runner was Don Reo.
Action was unusually explicit for a series on American broadcast television. The characters regularly used obscenities which were bleeped out (the DVD release restores them), and the writers managed to introduce sexual humor without explicitly calling attention to it.
For example, in one scene Bobby Gianopolis has a prostate examination while standing at his desk during a business meeting. When he tells the doctor he's ready for the examination, the doctor tells him he has already begun.
In another instance, Peter Dragon and Holden van Dorn drop in unexpectedly at Adam's apartment. During the ensuing scene, it becomes clear that Adam had been watching pornography and masturbating.
