Even then, broadcast TV is allowed to do certain things based on context. See Roots, which had bare breasted women on primetime TV in the 1970s.
I can't believe I saw this on a basic cable/satellite channel!

I hate that just because we can attitude. I avoid all new shows and just stick with the OTA channels. I dread the day they start allowing the s-word in prime time OTA TV shows surprised they have not yet already.
Still not enough be be mainstream you think they would be more s-words on Primetime especially during certain gritty shows like Criminal Minds L&O SVU or The Blacklist. Don't get me wrong I am glad they are not said it is annoying to me but I am still surprised.
I was shocked at the suggestive scenes they put into early episodes of ST Enterprise featuring a scantily clad Jolene Blalock. Probably it would have survived beyond the 4-season run had they kept that up. So to speak.
Something I’m unaware of about Holiday Inn? Bing Crosby?

TCM is still an uncut cable channel. I am talking about OTA stations. The only time I encounter bad profanity was on some PBS channels late night.
Once OTA ratings really drop is when you will see the restrictions really loosened to compete with cable and streaming. Honestly prime time on network is in a lot of ways unrealistic when you listen to the dialog. Just think of how much better the Chicago cop shows would be if they could speak normally.
Sarah Connor would be mortified if she knew what she has started.
WNET Channel 13
WLNY Channel 21 I have not found anything offensive late night which is also the sister station of WNET.

I watched the show "The Good Girls" from NBC that aired Sunday night around 9pm central time. Christiana Hendrix character was in her bed imagining the Hispanic tatted thug she is working for illegally , standing over her in her bedroom. She reaches over to her night stand and gets something we can't see and puts it under the covers between her legs. Then the vibrating sound starts coming from the bed as he struts around the room smashing all her breakables in her room from the mirror to every vase ,jar and plate she had on display, never breaking eye contact with each other. This went on till her husband sticks his head in the room and asks her how to make pancakes for the kids. The buzzing sound stops.
Two years ago on NBC the show "Shades of Blue" that starred Jenifer Lopez and Ray Liotta had a scene where Ray ( whose character was the police chief in New York , married with kids ) meets a young guy in a pool hall ,plays pool with him and flirts with his eyes and body movement. The next scene is he is in the alley way with this young guy obviously simulating fellatio on Ray as he stood over him on his knees and holding his head to his groin and Ray making weird faces . Regular tv is quickly on it's way to being just as dirty as cable. Start saying the F.. word and M...F..... and you have HBO equivalency.
