Do any cable shows feature uncensored F bombs yet?

The term F bomb annoys the **** out of me. Who the **** invented it? The word is **** for ****s sake and everyone uses it. It’s just a ****ing word. People are such stupid ****s!

 

But when you consider that a***** and h***** are also censored, we get A bombs and H bombs.

 

In the UK theres a very handy guide to rude words on TV.

Some people use the adage; '-word', instead of '-bomb'...
I remember a prank wherein someone had a guy in the airport make the statement;
"White courtesy telephone for Harry C Word!"

 

Personally, I find comedy skits on tv funnier with bleeps. It just makes things seem more silly and ridiculous.

For example- the old Dave Chappelle shows are somehow much funnier with all the bleeps intact. Like when John Mayer starts playing guitar in the black neighborhood barber shop.

 

As I've been watching more and more shows, I see that this is (thankfully) the norm on FX/FXX. Snowfall, What We Do In The Shadows, Dave, Breeders, etc. all have HBO level of cursing. USA Network, Paramount Network, SYFY, and Fuse also have shows and/or movies where this is the case.

AMC for some reason, is not like this at all. Their shows have between 0 and 1 f bombs, usually the former.

It's funny that Better Call Saul episodes with tons of murder and no cursing get a TV-14 rating, but an episode with no violence and literally one F bomb gets a TV-MA rating. Saying the F word is super mature content apparently (even though 12 year olds curse all the time, to little detriment) but committing mass murder is not a big deal.

So now that cursing on basic cable shows is normal, I wonder if nudity will be next.

 

I really do think that cable networks could have gotten away with this 5 to 10 years earlier, but didn't go for it until 2017 or so.

 

I totally wish that the FCC ended their censorship on OTA shows. We could get some serious dramas on those networks.

I just can't take any show seriously when criminals and degenerates say "freakin".

 

It does sit rather uncomfortably with me that US (and by inference British) culture finds violence more acceptable than nudity and indeed swearing.

At least in the UK 'Naked Attraction' is redressing the nudity issue!

 

I'm watching that right now and that would NEVER fly in the US lol. I can't even picture HBO having that much full frontal nudity, less so any platform that does reality shows.

 

Show Robocop the directors cut on network tv.

 

The ESPN documentary about Michael Jordan The Last Dance has had some F bombs in it

 

Weirdly it's a fairly good show! It's certainly an eye opener.

 

I'm enjoying it.

 

And we shall leave it at that!

 

But now I have a legitimate question. Is it possible to watch all of the episodes in the US without torrenting?

 

Back in the 2000s, I remember seeing episodes of Sex and the City on DVD and on cable, and they certainly had F-bombs in almost every episode, not to mention implicit sex scenes (as opposed to explicit). When the show went to syndication, all those scenes were edited out.

 

I saw one of those lists, as well(might have been from Lifetime Networks), and one of the groups of words was literally Carlin's "Seven Words" bit. It was hilarious.

WOR-TV(Ch.9 NYC) let a bunch of naked women air(view from the back) for a few seconds on The Benny Hill Show in 1979/80. I was shocked(and happy). Got it on a moldy Beta tape.

If you want a PDF of the UKs acceptable language it's right here as a PDF.

It's a fun read.

 

I've seen parts of this show. The people look kinda gross, at least the segments I've seen. I know people are generally plain and look like this but I don't wanna see them

 

To the best of my recollection, I thought I heard (I was half-paying attention) the F-bomb from Norm Abrams via The New Yankee Workshop when the episode first aired.
IIRC, it was the one about a cupboard.

I tried looking up the project just now via Wiki (great, reliable source for the correct running order, epi. title, and also much easier to navigate than TVdotcom, as well), but there were a half-dozen eps. with cupboard in the title.

I do remember he was applying contact cement to a surface, and when he laid the laminate on top, he said something to the effect of...
Once you set the laminate on top, leave it there (under his breathe)Don't eff with it!
Could have been don't fuss with it, but I'd like to think it was the former!

 

I just DVR'd Wolf of Wall Street on FX and they censored out all the F bombs, even though it was after 11. I was disappointed so I stopped watching.

Oddly though, they allow the the CS word.

 

Paramount marathoned Yellowstone recently and even the episodes that aired in the daytime were uncensored.

They also show uncensored breasts on this show, that's probably a first for ad supported cable.
