Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes, the channel will censor the language if they broadcast the show before 7:00 pm.

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.

That's because you have a potty mouth, young lady.

I caught the South Park movie after midnight on Comedy Central a few months ago, and it was definitely uncut and unedited--all the harsh language and visible body parts intact!

Once upon a time, there was a broadcast corp (I don't remember what channel) that used to overdub all the cursing and it was REALLY annoying and yet extremely amusing at the same time. They'd attempt to use phrases that matched the mouth movements. And not the expected "shoot" for "shit." I remember only laughing to the point of tears over "fishsticks" in some gung-ho action shot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes.

Except the FCC wants to regulate "indecency" on cable, so I hope the naughty words don't give them ammo.

Really?? Wow, because I was kind of scandalized (not really - I find profanity hilarious for the most part) sitting in the movie theater. On TV? I can't even imagine.

This is BRILLIANT:

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oh man, this reminds me of that Carol Burnett Show skit of a redubbed WWII era movie with Harvey Korman and Lyle Waggoner as sailors having a bar fight and yelling "Thank you!" "No, thank YOU!" at each other.

I've seen various Kevin Smith movies uncensored, so I'm going to say yeah. But I think it's weekends-only, not every night.

I am fascinated by the increased swearing on the regular cable. And I LOVE IT.

me too. Nip/Tuck is like an HBO show, except they don't say fuck. ("Cunt" might also be off-limits.)
