Cursing only really became a "staple" of the show this past season.Seasons 1 and 2 had some cursing but not as much as Season 3.It doesn't really bother me.

The main reason there is cursing because, although fictional, they want it to seem as lifelike as possible. and say what you will about normal sitcoms coming close, you can't walk down the street for a minute without hearing a swear come from somewhere. plus how can he not swear when larry gets in his trademark explosive arguments?

The most cursing comes from susie, she is always angry.

Over the yrs the show has been on I have come to really like Susie and her cursing tyraids makes me laugh out loud now Susie Essman is a very funny Lady Larry saw her in a club doing her act and told her about the show and her part hired her on the spot never had to audition for it

The cursing doesn't bother me at all. It's a part of the show. It'll just make it impossible to be syndicated.

Thats what I was thinking never could syndicate CYE because of the funny adult language like the episode where they open the restaurant and everyone is cursing at the end very funny scene but couldnt be shown on syndicated reruns

Sex and the City is being syndicated and that has cursing and full-frontal nudity! Trust me, they will find a way.

In my mind cursing isn't what it used to be. Granted I am only 23 years old, but growing up if we were to swear we would get yelled at and grounded. Nowadays you hear anything and everything on TV and in schools. Cursing on CWE is something I usually look forward to. If you remember the one episode "Beloved Aunt" or another word was used for it I think.... if you catch my drift. It is just funny to hear Larry say. I don't really find any swearing offensive just because I hear it all the time at work, bars, etc.

It doesn't add anything. We don't need it.

I'm with you on this one. I have only seen a couple of eppys of Sex and the City, but I remember the ones I watched on HBO weren't exactly clean. I found myself wondering how in the heck they were going to put it in syndication. But then again, they also put the Sopranos on "Bravo" and that has a ton of swearing in it.

You are totally right on this, Chocolate! Sometimes swearing can be funny, but it doesn't add anything if the show itself is already funny! If every other word is a swear word it really starts to get on my nerves!

The only time I've ever seen CYE was over a year ago at my mom's house. She has On Demand and I watched a couple of episodes. I really didn't care for the swearing, which might be why it's taken me so long to watch it again.

The Sopranos on Bravo still has a lot of cursing on it. Except they cant say the F word or any variation of it or any of the Badda Bing Club Strippers dancing topless or sex scenes with nudity.

The Sopranos is a show to be honest I love and You have to have the cursing especially in it. Because real organized crime mobsters when they talk.

Especially when they are angry curse using the F word and all the different variations on it. The Sopranos edited versions come off lame to me.

teddybare · 08-18-2008, 06:05 AM

I hope they never syndicate CYE and put an edited to death version on basic cable & local tv stations. I mean CYE is a comedy for adults its a very good critically acclaimed adult comedy. I mean Larry telling jeff or Richard Lewis to shut the freak up or frump up or Susie yelling at Larry calling him a freakin nut or freakin idiot. Come on thats just wrong. Leave it on HBO and dont change a thing about CYE

Schmoopie · 08-25-2008, 01:19 AM

I honestly think that if "Seinfeld" were on HBO instead of NBC that it would have had a lot of cursing in it as well. That's a shame, really becuase what made it so funny was how they got around all of that. I was watching a show from Season 3 yesterday and there were definitely a few curse words said, but of course, they didn't say the whole word.

And then there was the "Non-Fat Frozen Yoguart" episode with the kid telling Jerry he was funny.... I loved how they kept bleeping out words!
