Another thing that Breaking Bad did is semi-censor themselves. I think back then, they didn't say the F-word on AMC. But that didn't keep Breaking Bad from keeping it in the script. They just blanked out that word (like "I <silence> Ted"). Then on the stream, they had it uncensored. There is no reason that networks couldn't do the same thing. That way they could cover serious topics and not make themselves look stupid.

Did they actually self-censor? For some reason they got one F word per season, and that might have just been where it was used that season.

I never knew the show had nudity until I rewatched on Netflix. Also I'm pretty sure that the original AMC airing silenced the F in "I F***ed Ted".

Hmmm, actually I guess they were allowed one "censored" F word per season. So your original point holds up.

Yeah. And I didn't find it distracting at all. It made the point clear. It would have been ridiculously cheesy and distracting if they had instead said "screw" or "fudge" in those situations. The F-word was damn appropriate. If I were network TV, I would do the same thing. Even if they had to blur their mouths. Then people would be clamoring to watch the uncensored streamed version (after a few months).
