The episodes where the “N-word” is used, allowed now?

In at least three episodes of Sanford and Son th “n-word” is used. One to me was probably the funniest line of the whole series (when Fred asked the cop in court about arresting white drivers）

Are these episodes allowed on channels that rerun the show?

I know at least 4 instances Of Fred using it and at least one instance Of Esther using it.

I don’t think it’s use is shown on tv only streaming. Though a few years ago it was said on Prime Time during The Carmichael Show (with a disclaimer).

I've seen both ATV and Get allow it.

I think it would only be edited out on TV Land

I bet it was Fred's idea to include the "N" word in the script as the producer probably would not allow show's writers to put in the script such a word. Fred knew he was pushing the red line on NBC censors
