Among the study’s findings:
– There were 76 incidents of nudity on 37 shows in 2011-12, an increase from 2010-11 when there were 15 incidents on 14 shows.
– Nearly 70 percent of the scenes in 2011-12 that depicted nudity occurred before 9 p.m. and as early as 7 p.m. — when children might still be up. The previous year, 50 percent of the scenes took place before 9 p.m.
– ABC (14) and NBC (12) led the way with episodes depicting nudity, with CBS (7), Fox (2) and CW (2) trailing.
– Of the 76 instances of nudity during 2011-12, only five took place during a show with the appropriate “S” (sexual content) descriptor at the beginning of the program
