I think it's always pretty fucking funny, but not having seen Tuesday's yet, I still agree it's totally hitting its stride. If I get obsessed with it, will that be "Rescue Me likes carrots, asshole!"?
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Yes, but only because something with the word "fuck" in it (fuckwad, fuckstick, etc.) is about the only language that FX ISN'T letting them get away with.
Signed,
Still just about does a noser every time I think of the "twunt" discussion.

Yeah, about that. I was watching something on... TNT, FX?... the other night. I can't remember the name of the show, though it wasn't Rescue Me, because I'd remember Dennis Leary. A gritty "we fight crime" thing. Anyway, I swear I heard "shit" a couple of times. Is this new? Used to only hear that on the pay cable stations, right? Or have I just been out of touch?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
"Shit" is still mostly off-limits, but not on all shows. The Shield, on FX, has a lot of cursing (it's rated TV-M for that reason).
Funniest thing evar: watchign a VH-1 retrospective on South Part, where they discuss the episode about saying "shit", but neither the animated characters nor the VH-1 talking heads are allowed to say the word. It was a whole discussion about bleep.

OK. I'd have thought I misheard, but then it happened again. Now it's bugging me that I can't remember the show. It was very blue. It's new. I think I have to go try to figure it out now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
As far as I can tell, you can say almost anything except "fuck" on FX.

Sometimes, the channel will censor the language if they broadcast the show before 7:00 pm. A few weeks ago, I caught "The Crossing" on A&E at 8:00 am, and they bleeped a few phrases that were intact every other time I've seen the movie on that channel (a few "Goddamns" and a reference to a general's balls).
The History Channel's broadcast of "Band of Brothers" keeps the "shits" intact, but replaces the "fucks" with other words.

Found it. It's "Wanted" on TNT.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Like when Jon Stewart talked to the "Bullshit" author, he mentioned that only the airings that night would have "Bullshit" not bleeped out.
Does Comedy Central really go all out in their late-night airings, like the ads say?
I am fascinated by the increased swearing on the regular cable. And I LOVE IT.
