CATHOLIC LEAGUE for Religious and Civil Rights: "NBC WILL NOT AIR OFFENSIVE SHOW AGAIN
Catholic League president William Donohue offered the following remarks today on NBC-TV�s response to the objections the league had with a recent episode of �Committed�:
�On February 24, I wrote a news release protesting the way the Eucharist was mocked in the February 22 episode of �Committed.� I asked that NBC retire this episode for good. Alan Wurtzel, Chief Executive for NBC�s Department of Broadcast Standards and Practices, contacted me immediately and pledged to review the episode in question. He called today to inform me that this episode will not air again.
�On the two occasions that I spoke to Wurtzel, he proved to be fair and decisive. His professionalism has certainly won my admiration. Accordingly, the Catholic League considers this matter closed."
