I watched quite a bit of prime time tv last night.  Surprised the number of times I heard the f-bomb on Canadian TV.

CBC's Baroness von Sketch Show dropped the word 8 times in the first six minutes of the show. It was funny but I was surprised.   And the British import Catastrophe which followed at 9:30 naturally had it's share of salty language too.  Not that it was surprising on a program from the UK.

Meantime over on CHCH they were showing the movie Bridesmaids at 8pm unedited.  A very funny movie with lots of profanity.

Always have found it interesting that a somewhat uptight country like Canada has always been a little more European in attitude when it comes to what is shown and not shown on commercial television in terms of language and sexual content.  

Even back in the 70's I was intrigued that many of our television stations would show movies unedited with nudity and language .Citytv may have been first, but others followed soon after.   Sometimes movies were chopped but other times not at all.

I remember years ago when CTV was showing the Sopranos unedited right before the CTV national news.  The program normally went overtime and  they ran a preview of tomorrow's program.  The preview was just filled with swearing and violence.
 
Immediately they cut to Lloyd Robertson for the CTV national news.  Lloyd looked somewhat bewildered what he had just watched on the monitor. It was memorable, and a little funny, but Robertson being the pro he was handled the situation well.
