I remember that several "dream on" episodes aired between 1994 and 1996 after late-night airings of tales of the crypt

Dream On aired on HBO from 1990 to 1996. It did also air on FOX but only for six months in 1995.

Did it toned-down the love scenes, remove nudity and edited out the foul-languages?

Yes, they did.

Unfortunatly, FOX took away all the reasons for watching that show.

;)

Fox also added a laugh track.

Sunday Night's at 8:30 pm Central Time.

Although easily the raunchiest of the Big Four networks, even Fox would shrink from broadcasting "Dream On" in all its original splendor: the "F" word and other coarse language in abundance, frontal female nudity galore and (in later episodes) flat-out humping--uh, all in support of the comedy, naturally.

As it turns out, however, it was with syndication in mind that two versions of "Dream On" were shot simultaneously, one including the "adult-oriented" scenes for pay-TV, as Fox calls them, the other minus the nudity and profanity.

In the first episode, for example, the Fox version had Martin's whipped-creamed lover inexplicably wearing a bra. In HBO's, she was bra-less. Several mentions of the "S" word for excrement were omitted, as was a colorful synonym for penis and an equally colorful reference to male masturbation. And the "F" word was replaced by "screw."

In the original Episode 2, as Martin and his young date fell to the floor, she was shown from the front, removing her shirt and exposing her breasts, followed by several torso shots that also showed her breasts. In the Fox version, she was shown from the back. No breast shots.

Sunday's episode finds a sentence with the "F" word replaced by this line: "Of course, she's got to be good in the sack." The cleansed version also substitutes a very sedate sex scene for one on HBO that showed Martin and his lover beginning to have very aggressive sex, followed by a shot of his face as he watches her masturbate.

The "S" word is omitted, moreover, and instead of hearing someone exclaim, "Jesus Christ!," we hear "Wow!"

Wow? "Dream On," perhaps no longer the boldest or sexiest comedy on TV, at least as presented by Fox. But still one of the funniest.
