Generally speaking, the rule is not to use words of more than two syllables or sentences of more than seven words. TV producers (not audiences) have trouble with big words or just lots of words.

You just used too many words in that sentence for me to understand Geoff. That's not cool.

I understood that
Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt... Zap! My skin's soaked right through to the skin! "The Beatles will exist without us"

Do you work in TV? Sorry; I was just taking an easy shot: I'm always doing shtick and not a lot of what I say here is intended the least bit seriously.

Work in TV? Hardly! I'm a teacher. It was just my lame attempt at humor. Sorry!
Yup good old Georgie (Carlin that is) figured that out for us
But yes I have recently heard more words on regular tv that shocked me...the B word for one. And the other word for poop too. I mean I say those words everyday of my life but I was still shocked to hear it on public television! Even on the radio too I hear things. I am used to satellite radio now too though so no censorship there.
After the 9 oclock watershed you can pretty much say and show anything on British TV . A few weeks ago i saw a programme involving a camera a man and a women getting jiggy , and if i say it was a journey to the center of the earth , i think you will get the picture of what they show on British TV . I was rather shocked , they would go that far .
you know, i really dont see whats the point bleeping out words. I mean you dont need a great mind to figuere out what the bleeped word is! So just bloody say it! My, and they say free speech.... Besides, naughty words go with a certain type of people you know. Like, you wouldnt hear the prime ministers opponent swearing about the prime minster now would you? and then you would assume to hear the naughty words if you watch some modern-street-men-movie or something.
But bleeping words in songs, now thats just silly!
For anyones info, did you know that the s word is not considered rude in Sri Lanka and it is used in tv....!

It's the same way in Canada: the censor goes to bed around nine or ten o'clock and you can show more or less anything after that. Maybe it's only US networks that get fidgety about the jiggy.
British TV as just about shown everything now Geoff apart from a live execution . The jiggy used to be more arty now it's just porn . The programme i caught had the camera strapped to the guy's meat and two veg , i nearly choked on my pizza as i was taken on a tour round the cervix . And the C word is used far to much , i don't like that .
Any of you seen the show "Nip/Tuck" on the FX network on cable???? This show pushes the boundaries of what can be said on regular cable. It's pretty racy for TV.

Oi!! Can't say I've seen anything like that over here; it sounds more like Anatomy For Dummies than erotica. So I guess there's no need to get the cable or satellite hooked up again, then.
B*stard is a no no in Britain yet i hear it all the time on US Sitcoms
Doesn't it depend on the context? Maybe it's allowed if they're actually talking about someone who technically is a bastard? The same thing could obviously go for a word like 'b****'.
Yeah, you can get away with pretty much anything on Dutch TV. One of the public channels even broadcasted "Deep Throat" last year. So basically they used tax money to broadcast a hardcore porn movie. Needless to say that not everybody was too happy with that.

That's funny considering what else can air. They say it here all the time. Along with b**** and various other tame curse words. After 9 or 10 you can hear the f-word on Comedy Central. The only reason I know this is because I watch South Park. If I watch after a certain time, they don't bleep. I have NEVER heard the C-word on regular t.v. though. I think that's considered worse than the f-word over here. Nudity is another matter altogether. We're way too uptight over here. The most the guys get is a side boob. And the girls might get a butt shot every now and then. But usually by some obese old guy, so it's really not worth it in the end.
Well, I'm pretty sure you can't say anything along the lines of, "F YOU Mr. President" on tv. lol When this came across my mind, I was just like man..... If only i were on tv. hahah
Wouldn't that just be a shocker to see?! Actually, scratch that, more like an unforgettable moment for the great American television as we know it.
