In
June 1992 CBS introduced a very controversial TV series called Grapevine.
Only six episodes were ever broadcast. The show was about relationships,
but was doomed because of too much sex. This show examined all aspects
of relationships. Modern romances are very complicated, and an important
component is sex, which led to it's prompt cancellation.
Overview:
Three friends - Susan, David, and Thumper gossip about a couple they all
know going through some kind of crisis. Each week a new couple is introduced
along with several supporting characters. The problems they encounter are
always sexually related either directly of indirectly. The topics included
infidelity, impotence, commitment, video taping, showering, masturbation
and sex toys.
