It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Quite a bit more than you can on US Network TV. The f*** word can be used on free-to-air here as long as it's justified and it screens after 8.30pm. You can even get away with the c*** word if it's justified and after 9.30pm. One of the free-to-air networks here showed the Larry Sanders Show - absolutely uncut - at 10.30pm. Nudity isn't usually a problem either subject to the time slot. Violence - and sexually-related violence, in particular - is what they really worry about.Originally posted by rah

There's always a place for government-funded broadcasters as alternatives to commercial mainstream. Unfortunately, the experience is that most of them head down the same commercial path, chasing viewer ratings just as fiercely as the commercial mainstream broadcasters do. Which is idiotic and self-defeating, because they never have the budgets the commercial mainstream broadcasters do, so they (a) lose out; and (b) waste an awful lot of money that should have been spent providing the alternative.Originally posted by Ming

I'm re-watching it on cable for the umpteenth time. Garry Shandling is one of US TV's absolute heroes, IMHO. Did you ever see his first series? The name escapes me at the moment. I'll have to check.
Edit. D'oh! It was called "It's Garry Shandling's Show". Made in the late 1980s." ... and the following morning I should see the Boks wallop the Wallabies again?" - Havak

Larry Sanders had to be edited considerably for broadcasting over-the-air.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
