Was it just me...?

I was watching American Dad last night since I'm at work when it comes on. There was a scene in the closet of an art gallery where the valet mentioned they had **** fighting. Subsequently one landed on Francine's head and messed up her hairdo. She stepped out of the closet and said:

'Your [BLANK] really did a number on my hair.'

I'm not editing that myself, the audio was dropped out for a second, although it was obvious what was being said, even if you can't read lips. Since the whole **** fighting gag was already set up and obvious (not to mention the word '****' wasn't bleeped out when '**** fighting' was mentioned, was it REALLY necessary to block it out 2 seconds later?

I'm used to some things being edited out on national television, but not usually a network's own shows. I have to admit that at present I'm in the bible belt, but damn.

Hmmm...
I did not watch it yet but i have it on dvdr as i set my standalone to record it along with a few other's, gonna have to watch it and check it out.

I watched that too, and the '****' wasn't bleeped or dropped when i watched it....she said it loud and clear. I don't know why your station would silence it.

Some local stations edit content sometimes. I missed that episode so can't tell you but I'm sure it wasn't bleeped out here.

[Noahtuck]

Yep!!

Dirty SOB's!! FF to that spot, watched it and they totaly cut the audio, no bleep, no background sound, nothing!! totaly cut the audio from that one spot

Just her saying that one word.

Well, after about 8pm in Australia you can hear all the F-words and C-words you like on TV. Two free to air channnels show uncut movies. Even with all that, it is nothing compared to Europe.

I have it taped, and it wasn't bleeped/silenced in my vicinity.

BTW, why have a "didn't watch it" option? You're trying to find out about something in the show from those who have watched it, right?

I hereby revoke your polling license.

San Francisco does not bleep TV swear words?

[Supreme2k]

I doubt if S.F. does (especially the ones that are double-entendres) and I rarely see them bleep them here (except for the obvious ones), though I do get the same Fox affiliate.
In fact, they've already used a similar gag before, with the news reporters:
Diane: Well Tom, the city of Boston is examining its conscious tonight in preparation for a visit from the Pope.
Tom: That's right Diane, and I'll tell you what else will be examined... this ****. Yes the Rhode Island **** society will be sponsoring free check-ups for this years **** awareness week. I don't know why they went with such a suggestive name; they could have just as easily gone with rooster. Diane.

Yep, they did not censor that one here either, or one's that i thought were worse than that on "family Guy" but they sure did on "American Dad" for that one joke, which was obviously from the lead in of the closet scene 2 seconds before the "offensive" 2 second "Bleep" "cutout"

I remember that one from FG. Not sure what made this one worse than that one.

Some local stations edit programs, others don't. However, the stations who edit generally don't change the closed captioning.
