LOS ANGELES — Even as networks delay or drop potentially sensitive episodes and clip violent scenes in the immediate wake of terrorists' attacks, network executives expressed uncertainty yesterday about how lasting the effects of Sept. 11 will be.
"Everyone wants to see this as a demarcation line in popular culture, and it may very well prove to be," NBC Entertainment President Jucker said.
"But I think it's too early to know exactly what that is," he said.
the attacks bumped the official start of the new season a week, to Monday. While networks gingerly returned to regular fare after grueling, nonstop news coverage, viewers seemed eager for the change.
"You can see it in the prime time ratings." Zucker said.
"Clearly, people are looking for some diversion, and clearly that is role that entertainment can play."
A repeat episode of Friends with the wedding of Monica and Chandler on NBC last Thursday drew 17.6 million viewers — unusually high for a rerun.
Late-night shows returned somberly last week, but already have returned to comedy.
In general, networks took no chance of giving offense. Even a lightweight comedy like Ellen, the new CBS series starring Ellen DeGeneres, was subject to revision.
DeGeneres' character spoke in Monday's premiere episode about losing her job in the dotcom collapse. Her mother's reply — "I hope you didn't get caught in the building" — was removed from the show.
The change was made "in light
of the recent tragic events," the network said.
In a coming Friends episode, changes are being made in a scene in which newlyweds Monica and Chandler (Courtney Cox and Matthew Perry) run into airport problems on their honeymoon.
More problematically, a number of new series are set in the world of the CIA or other government agencies, with stories that edge perilously close to aspects of the tragedy.
CBS pulled the pilot episode for The Agency, which opened with a Middle Eastern scene of a booby-trapped hostage, an American flag stuffed in his mouth as a gag, dying in an explosion.
Airing in its place tomorrow will be an episode about a plot to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
