If TV censorship had been less restrictive back in the day...

… how might your favorite shows been different?

Surely Rob and Laura Petrie would have slept in the same bed. But would the Ricardos and the Mertzes have swapped partners?? :eek: What would the Ponderosa have been like? How might your favorite show have changed if today’s rules applied way back then?

At a minimum, I see hijinks as the male castaways make their way to the girls’ hut…

Whaddaya think?

Hmmm… perhaps, if they could have gotten laid now and again, the Cartwright boys wouldn’t have become notorious serial killers?

McGarrett would have called a traitor working for the Red Chinese something stronger than a “dirty, double-dealing fink.”

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a fuck.”

We might have gotten to see Sally Struthers naked when that would still have been a desirable event.
Saturday Night Live would have been overtly filthier, I think.

Gilligan’s Island would have been a lot more interesting.

The costumes on Star Trek: TOS would have been far more revealing than they already were.

It would have been much plainer that Gunsmoke’s Miss Kitty was running a brothel.

There would have been a lot more gore on shows like The Untouchables and Combat!

All I know is that the guy in Small Wonder who went to all that trouble to make a completely life-like robot in the shape of a little girl would probably be locked up for life.

Uncle Arthur might have become TV’s first openly gay character. Or are there gay warlocks?

Jeannie would have probably not have called Tony “Master” and not lived in a bottle.

But she could have shown her belly-button.

The Nazis on Hogan’s Heroes would have been a lot less funny. :frowning:

Tonto would have been beaten up a lot worse every time he went into town to buy supplies.

Any blacks who tried to settle in a small community like Walnut Grove would have been run out of town (or worse).

Major West and Judy would have been coming out from behind the styrofoam boulders all flushed and sticky a lot.

Flo’s line would have been “Kiss mah ASS!”

“Ward, you were awfully hard on The Beaver last night.”

Beaver would have used the gun Ward kept in his den to kill Eddie Haskell.

Sure she would. It just would have been a lot kinkier.

My first two thoughts were Gilligan’s Island and Jeannie’s belly button, too.

We are in such a rut.

Let’s see, Betwitched … threesome with Serena?
