PTC Targets CW's '90210'

NEW YORK The Parents Television Council is again going after one of its favorite targets, The CW television network, this time for not making the premiere episode of its new fall drama, 90210, available for advertisers to screen before it airs.

The PTC said if advertisers are not allowed to screen it, they might find after buying commercials in the show that it has story lines like current CW drama Gossip Girl, which the PTC said have “glamorized drug and alcohol use along with casual teen sex, including threesomes.”
