In some TV shows I have noticed certain swear words slide. But then on some of the same networks, they cut the same swear words, if it is in a movie which they place on. What is the deal with that?
Different swear words are assigned a different level of points. A program is allow to use up a certain amount of point per half hour. The can say the less vulgar words many times without going over, or they can use a more vulgar word just a couple times. If they say perhaps maybe twice, then they used up their points for that portion of a show. Different networks and media distributors have different standards, so it won't be consistent fro one channel to the next.

In addition, there's also time of day. Currently NBC, ABC, and FOX's Broadcast Standards and Practices departments collaborite, using the FCC as a guide, on what is inapropriate for one time or another. Thus why "Prime Time" is a large deal- 8pm is when "Young, Impressionable Children" are considered to have gone to bed, but parents are still very much awake, thus has the laxest rules for the largest audience. Not the most relaxed rules mind.
So... a show with a bare butt and ten fucks can show without censorship at 11pm, with perhaps a mosiac and bleeping at 7pm, and perhaps not at all at 3pm, after school.

It seems that TV language became a lot more lewd just in the past few months. Up until last Fall, many shows used words like "frak" as a substitute for "fuck". Now it's becoming common for them to simply say fuck. I'm used to it in movies, but it's becoming surprisingly common in ordinary TV series.
I wonder how long it will be before words like shit and fuck become common even at 3 pm. I guess TV is quickly catching up to how many people talk in real life. I heard some pretty ripe language on morning talk shows, particularly on a show called "The View" Perhaps it's assumed that kids are in school when that's on in the mornings.

Actually it begun before he took office. But there does seem to be more of it. But if these same networks place on a movie, god forbid they should even say bitch, which I have heard in ordinary TV.
Oh well.
And there's also that one cable channel which doesn't block a single word. It is 100something.
