They started experimenting more and by 2016 they were letting loose actual detailed Skinemax level nudity, F-bombs and even more shocking moments (i.e. most anything on FX including Snowfall, Southland & I Am the Night on TNT, and many more).
They were afraid of sponsors pulling out back when cable TV was first a thing. Half the time, they'll still let some stuff play uncut but they're still afraid to show nudity unless it is part of the show itself.
They used to show unrated versions for home media for various TV-14 rated shows like Vikings and Battlestar Galactica but times have changed indeed!

And FX is a cable station because I know The Americans had a lot of sex scenes with Keri Russell's naked butt.
We don't talk about Bruno! No, no, no!

She gets naked all the time. It's a cable station, not network tv. Cable networks can have all the nudity they want.
Flawless victory. Another one for the good guys.

I was like…this is odd, on network TV too
Paramount is not network TV. It's a cable channel.
The moniker "Network TV" is reserved for ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and PBS, channels that you can get with just an antenna.

I didn't need to use a rifle. I'd steal their Bowie knives and stab them with it.

No. #1 All deer are barefoot.
No. #2 A deer armed with a Bowie knife is still no match for a hunter with a high-powered rifle.

Yes I remember those days. We were men by age six. I used to hunt deer barefoot with a Bowie knife.

I used to walk 13 miles to school through blizzards.
TV sure has changed a lot since the old dayz!

I was flipping through stations yesterday (TV Land?) And watched it for the first time.
I found it very interesting and I'll try to catch it again. I missed the titty part but was kinda shocked by all the F-bombs!
