why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

i was watching the jersey shore on netflix a few weeks ago and wondered why they kept all the beeps in. it made me wonder why they wouldnt release it uncensored for dvd.

obviously i get why sitcoms wouldnt. sometimes the joke works better with the beeps that were in the one episode of the series or it would probably upset some people. but for an adult themed show like jersey shore it makes no sense. hells kitchen would be great on dvd without the annoying beeps. im sure there are other examples but im tired and cant think.

didnt the osbournes have an uncensored dvd? or am i mistaken?

I'm just amazed that someone actually goes out of his way to watch Jersey Shore!

Good question, chino77! I've often wondered the same thing.

In Canada, Hell's Kitchen was shown uncensored on the Food Network, and has been released as such on DVD. I like Hell's Kitchen with the profanity in; I find it makes it more enjoyable.

The Osbournes was released uncensored as well. In fact, I remember watching it when it was first on, uncensored, during the 10PM hour.

go out of my way? its a few clicks on my remote. its not like i walked 10 miles in the snow to buy it at a flea market. besides the shows is so ridiculous, its good mindless fun. i avoided it like the plague until my girlfriend wanted to watch it. i turned it on expecting to ignore it and surf online. by the second episode i couldnt stop watching.

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

I like Jersey Shore too..haha

but yes, good question. JWOWW uncensored.

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

is that the same food network we get here in the states? i was just watching chopped tonight and they beeped ass!

i didnt realize HK was uncensored on dvd...for some reason i thought it wasnt.

I find the idea of a censored "Real World" morally repugnant.

Why can't they put out a version that appeals to the GGW demographic, and shows what they are blurring dammit! What is the use of having night vision cameras, if i cannot see what is really going on in the dark?

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

MTV never releases anything uncensored.

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

i understand blurring things out, its the swearing being beeped that i dont get.

"adult themed show like jersey shore" :lol:

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

sex with multiple partners, treating women like meat, fighting and drinking every night isnt adult themed?

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

Maybe in your world thats adult themed but when I was 12 having sex with a different female every night and going on alcohol binges was how I rolled.

Las Vegas did this on a couple of season sets. I was surprised the first time I was watching an episode and there were boobies poolside.

On the Arrested Development DVD, there's an extended version of the pilot where they don't bleep out the language and it's a bit jolting. The episodes are actually funnier with the bleeps (such as when Buster goes on his rant about his mother). Leaving the details to your imagination makes it all the more hilarious.

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

It's not the same but the US and Canadian channel share a lot of the same programming and the company that owns the US Food Network owns a 20% stake in the Canadian version.

The Canadian version brings in other sources though, Food Network Canada is also the home for Top Chef in Canada,

Jersey Shore was released on DVD uncensored here in Canada. It wasn't released like that in the US?

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

I also thought both DVD seasons were uncensored.

weird...season 2 is censored on netflix.

i guess i should have looked on amazon. all they have is uncensored versions. i guess i just assumed that netflix would have the uncensored version if it was available.

Same goes for Survivor... why blur out the T&A on the dvd?

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

Probably something in the contract with the contestants?

So it would make you happy to hear a few more fucks?
I have to say Jersey Shore is the worst of the worst.

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

I think that the beeps make Jersey Shore better. And what is with this constant backlash against Jersey Shore? Yes, it is mentioned a lot in the news, etc. But it's one thing to bash it after seeing a few episodes, but so many times it is based on just hearing news reports about the show or something. The actual threads for the show on this site reveal many people who initially wondered why the hell it was on the air (and I was also wondering this), but those people ended up hooked. I enjoy the show, I enjoy Breaking Bad and Mad Men too...lots of options!

If you order that, you should also get a coupon for a free/obligatory vasectomy.

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

if it was released in canada anyone here can buy it also if they want to, why you would want to is different subject

Re: why arent more tv show dvds uncensored?
 

its better than hearing annoying beeps. im not offended by curse words so i see no reason not to hear to them.

im curious why you think the beeps make it better? i can see saying that for a sitcom but not for a reality show.
i avoided the show and thought it was stupid without seeing a single episode. i just went by what i heard about the people. i recently started watching and its funny as hell, im hooked.
