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.

Up with the sun

Does Comedy Central really go all out in their late-night airings, like the ads say?

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.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like they say "cunt" on Nip/Tuck, but it might just be obvious that that's what they mean.

They'd attempt to use phrases that matched the mouth movements.

My favorite from "Do The Right Thing" on network TV: "Mickey Fickey YOU!"

I've got replacements I use from when I was a nanny (or now, just around children.)

fuck-> fudge
shit-> scissors (it's a family thing)
don't give a flying fuck-> don't give a flying finn

There's one involving ducks, but it escapes me at the mome...oh. "lord love a duck" except that really isn't a replacement, it's just... something.

I'm thinking that's replacing "Fucking motherFUCK!"

move out and draw fire

The Breakfast Club had "hot beef injection" replaced with "hot love and affection."

Whatthefuckever.

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

The Breakfast Club had "hot beef injection" replaced with "hot love and affection."

"Hot beef injection" could mean anything. Like, for example, giving antibiotics to a fevered cow....

The Breakfast Club on TV is the WORST. Especially because it hasn't been re-dubbed with The Changing Times.

Except it is more used to express exasperation or disgust. Accompanied with @@.
