Has anyone else noticed, while many of these shows are immoral and unethical, they still have the same rules about showing nudity, and airing of curse words…keep in mind it is 2015??? These rules are even in place in after hours and overnight shows. It seems the rest of society has pretty much accepted all kinds of things, but when it comes to network tv, they are still sticking to the same rules as 20 yrs ago?

I remember back when NYPD Blue stirred things up when they aired shots of male and female rear ends, but this was back in the mid 90s…again, its now 2015 and even today, its rare to see this on major network tv.

Seems like many people would be fighting this kind of censorship, especially in modern times?? Not to mention, its Hollywood and the entertainment industry, they are usually not known to have high morals and ethics…but when it comes to network tv, it seems they have more than most anymore…(confused?)

Actually I have noticed the opposite. Swear words are prevalent. The S word is not even a fineable word anymore and I have seen several uses of it on TV. Not to mention A “family show” like the “middle” is full of blasphemy. And while full on nudity may not be very common, graphic sex scenes and scantily clad actors are much more common. I have never seen more cleavage than if I watch some of those shows.

I don’t watch much TV (waste of time, really), but when I have, I’m like you. I’ve noticed that the networks will air just about anything but full frontal nudity, and I suppose that’s coming.

Interesting, maybe its different depending on what region you live in, I live in KY, I watch a fair amount of tv, I dont think I have ever heard the S word on any major network shows. I do know many shows Ive watched, they actually bleep out the A word, 3 letter word referring to ones rear end…That was a bit much imo, thats not even a curse word, but they still censored it out!!?

This is not a big deal in most other countries, its common for them to show full nudity on tv shows, commercials, etc. Its strange the decadent US has laws about what can be shown on tv, when majority of the worlds immorality originates here.

Perhaps in Kentucky you guys don’t watch football. I don’t know if that is a big deal in the south or not…

Most games will involve not only easy to read lips, but actual sounds and comments of swearing. I have heard the F word, N word, S word and others. Actually it is quite common. Now in the Union our leader uses the F word in pressers. You may not get that down there…😉

I think if you watch TV and keep these things in mind you will find that you are hearing WAY more than you think. And that is part of the problem. Long gone are the days of Full House, Saved by the Bell, Cosby, Growing Pains etc. Here are the Days of Modern Family, Fresh off the Boat, TBBT etc.
 
I’ve lived in Georgia (not Atlanta, and no longer in the South). Football is HUGE in the South.
