I never got around to watching MTV’s remake of the acclaimed British series. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Parents Television Council claims the cancellation as a victory for decency. But my sense from friends who watched is that the show didn’t find a following not because it was uber-scandalous, but because the raciness wasn’t to any particular end.
