Bowdlerise/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

Line 48:

* In most foreign airings of Season 4 of ''[[The Amazing Race]]'', there is no mention of Reichen & Chip being "married", and their kiss at the Finish Line was edited out.

* The ''[[Glee]]'' episode featuring songs from ''[[Rocky Horror]]'' had them all butchered to network standards. Justified by the actual school production censoring the show in-universe.

* When rerunning episodes of ''[[Eerie Indiana]]'' on Saturday mornings, Fox Kids bizarrely edited part of the episode Zombies In [[P Js]]. In the episode, residents of Eerie turn into shopping zombies when they fall asleep and there's a sequence of Marshall and Simon slapping each other in the face all night to keep from falling asleep. Eventually, however, this fails and they go sleep-shopping with the rest of the town. When Dash finds them later, he's unable to wake them up until he slaps Marshall. In the Fox Kids edit the scene of Marshall and Simon slapping each other is left in but the shot of Dash slapping Marshall is edited out, cutting from Dash snapping his fingers in front of Marshall's eyes to Marshall rubbing his cheek and looking angry, and rendering Dash's line "Thanks, I needed that," senseless.

* When ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' episode "Be My Baby Tonight" is aired, the scene (after Ashley asks Will about sex) with all the innuendo is usually cut out.

* BET's reruns of ''[[The Wire]]'' would not only edit the profanity, sex and violence but also edited the show down into a 1 hour timeslot (including commercials) on the network cutting many scenes and when episodes were aired from the seconds season any scenes [[Unfortunate Implications|featuring the docks storyline that was central to that season, which featured mostly white characters,]] were completely removed causing the season to be made up mostly of scenes of the criminals from the first season sitting around in prison.
