Does anyone LIKE comedy series of today wherein every -well,almost every-word of dialogue is a foul,four-letter word?I guess these days,that's what is referred to as "sophistication".Feel free to post your thoughts about this subject.

Was surprised to hear the s word the other day on TNT. And "s.o.b" freely used on ABC Family.

I dont watch new TV shows (ex Survivor) and it sounds like I am not missing much.

The worst word ive heard on tv is the b word. But it's only standard channels, like ABC, Lifetime, Nick, etc.

I am not a prude or believe in any form of censorship, but cursing in comedy shows should not be allowed on network TV. That stuff should be on HBO, Showtime, etc. only.

Rezny@gmail.com · 05-05-2010, 06:18 PM

I personally hate it.

And one thing more:Every time,well,almost every time,after they use a swear word,there is laughter.Why is this?Do people think that on comedy series of today,profanity is funny?(And yes,I know about freedom of speech,censorship,etc.)

I like the swearing in television series. In fact I wish they could say ***k and s***.

If that happens it will most likely turn viewers away. I don't mind F-Bombs in movies and series on HBO, Showtime, etc... but they have no place on channels like ABC, CBS , NBC or FOX.

I used to Like Kathy but I am no longer a fan since she said "
Jesus had nothing to do with me getting this award. You know what? F**k Jesus!" I did agree on the first half that she was not trying to be phony by throwing Jesus a shout out but when she said F- Jesus, I lost any respect that I might have had for her.
