    Is there still not much swearing on TV in the US these days?

    Ever since Kenneth Tynan first used the 'f' word in 1965 British television has become notoriously foul-mouthed. Whether it's c**t,w****r or t**t you can say it as long as it's after the 9pm watershed hour. I've read US TV is still in Victoria times as far as such language is concerned. Is this still a fact these days?

    Somewhat the same, after 9 or 10 p.m. things get a little warmer but most everything gets bleeped out if it's considered profane.

    Hey, I can go next door and hear all that stuff if I want I don't need to hear it on the television. Sorry if I seem to be a prude but hearing the F word a hundred times just doesn't interest me any more, neither does calling a woman a C word, or someone an @ssh**e. After I got through my 20's it was a downhill from there.
    Some profanity is used in early hours but not the f word. Or s...t etc. Son of a Bitch and Bastard are constantly use on some "drama" shows. On pay per view cable/satellite every word you can think of is used especially on HBO Friday nights.
