> I'll probably get some of these wrong because I'm not in the the US and don't quite grok the network/cable divide Almost all of those are broadcast shows. I strongly suspect that all of them are, but I don't have personal knowledge of the entire list. As far as I can tell, the divide is pretty straightforward: Cable: nudity Broadcast: everything else In theory there's no requirement for a cable show to have nudity, but since they're allowed to, they all do. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> As far as I can tell, the divide is pretty straightforward: > Cable: nudity > Broadcast: everything else This is almost entirely wrong; non-premium cable (which is and was always the vast majority of cable) had and observed essentially the same structure and content rules as broadcast, with ad breaks and no swearing or nudity. Premium cable where each channel or later small branded group of channels is a separate surcharge on top of the broad package tended to have no ad breaks and looser content rules. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
