Nip/Tuck is an Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning American television medical drama series created by Ryan Murphy for FX Networks.

Overview

Nip/Tuck follows the lives of two Miami plastic surgeons, Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon). The show, while not strictly a soap opera, has some story arcs. In its debut season, Nip/Tuck was the highest-rated new series on American basic cable, and the highest rated basic cable series of all for the 18-49 and 25-54 age demographics. The fourth season of the series premiered on September 5 2006 on FX Networks.[1] The fifth season will have its premiere in fall 2007, and will consist of 22 episodes,[2] making it the longest season of the show yet, with Joely Richardson returning for 15 of those epsisodes.[3]

Controversy

Main article: Issues addressed in Nip/Tuck

The Parents Television Council has criticized the show.[4] The show is, however, shown at a late hour with multiple 'Viewer Discretion Advised' warnings. A particular scene involving a foursome pushed the PTC into starting a campaign to get the show taken off the air by writing to the sponsors of the show and threatening to boycott their products.[5][6] Another scene the PTC criticized depicted a funeral home worker removing and assembling body parts from dead women, including his sister's head, then sewing them together to make "the ideal woman". The PTC president described it in a decency hearing as "incestuous necrophilia."[7] Sony, arguably the biggest sponsor, continues to support the show.[8] Nip/Tuck's fans stand behind it, arguing in its defense that, from a fictional perspective, the show has explored things that have already happened and continue to happen and have been documented in historical newspaper stories anyone could read.

Real-life basis for surgeries

Series creator Ryan Murphy has stated that the medical cases featured on the show are "100 percent based on fact".[9]

  • In Episode 1.13 ("Escobar Gallardo"), the featured surgery involved a druglord changing his appearance via plastic surgery. In July 1997, Amado Carrillo Fuentes, one of the world's most powerful drug traffickers at the time, died while having plastic surgery to drastically alter his face (and while having 3 1/2 gallons of fat sucked from his body).[10]
  • In Episode 2.4, ("Mrs. Grubman"), the featured surgery involves a patient addicted to plastic surgery. Plastic surgery addiction is a real phenomenon, and is believed to stem from a psychological condition called Body dysmorphic disorder in many cases.
  • In Episode 2.9 ("Rose and Raven Rosenberg"), the featured surgery concerned the separation of two adult conjoined twins (played by Lori and Reba Schappell). While there have been many cases of conjoined twin separation, the surgery featured in this episode shares some details with the 2000 separation of Gracie and Rosie Attard, which resulted in the death of Rosie.[11]
  • In Episode 2.10 ("Kimber Henry"), a surgery in the show involved a male writer/humorist getting breast implants as resource material for a new book. This shares some similarities with the story of Canadian Brian Zembic, who in the year 2000 got breast implants to win a $100,000 USD (£50,000) bet. Unlike the patient on Nip/Tuck, Zembic decided to keep his breasts, and later displayed them to the world on an episode of The Man Show.[12]
  • In Episode 3.1 ("Momma Boone"), the featured surgery appears to have been based on a 480-pound Florida resident Gayle Laverne Grinds, who died after emergency workers tried to separate her from the couch she had lived on for 6 years.[13]
  • In Episode 3.13 ("Joy Kringle"), the featured surgery involves a woman who unknowingly has carried a petrified fetus inside of her for 17 years. Lithopedions (or "stone babies") are a real, albeit rare phenomenon that result when a fetus dies during an ectopic pregnancy. Two recent cases reported in the news include a 49-year-old fetus found in a 76-year-old woman (2000), and a 39-year-old fetus in a 67-year-old (1999).[14]

Nip/Tuck became an instant basic cable hit from its 2003 series premiere and has grown in audience ever since.

For its third season, FX aired Nip/Tuck solely in the fall of 2005, instead of during the summer season like the two years prior. John Landgraf, president of FX, stated that such a move was a "huge risk" since it stacked up "against the full barrage of fall network competition."[17] Despite some critical backlash on its third season, like the grade of D+ from Entertainment Weekly,[21] the story arc involving The Carver attracted an audience to the series larger than any season before, culminating in a December 20 2005 two-hour season finale, entitled Cherry Peck / Quentin Costa, which became the most-watched program in the history of the FX network.

Including Cherry Peck / Quentin Costa, three episodes of Nip/Tuck rank as the three most-watched programs ever on FX. The second season finale, entitled Joan Rivers, which aired on October 5 2004, drew 5.2 million viewers. It was then eclipsed on September 20 2005 when the third season premiere, entitled Momma Boone, drew roughly 5.3 million viewers.[22]. Exactly three months later on December 20 2005, the aforementioned third season finale, entitled Cherry Peck / Quentin Costa, drew 5.7 million viewers. Of those 5.7 million viewers, 3.9 million viewers were in the 18-49 age group demographic, "making the finale the No. 1 episode among the key advertising demographic of any cable series in 2005. It's also the largest demographic number for any single telecast in the network's history,"[17] according to Zap2It.

According to the September 8 2006 Mediaweek column The Programming Insider, "the fourth season-premiere on Tuesday, September 5 2006, from 10-11:10 pm averaged a stellar 4.8 million total viewers and 3.4 million adults 18-49, building over its season three average by 25 percent and 26 percent, respectively. Nip/Tuck's performance among adults 18-49 ranks as basic cable’s top-rated season-premiere in the demo for 2006, as of September 8 2006."[18]
