Bear in mind that I've spent the last year and a half living with a PBS station that offered me ZERO Britcoms.

When did they start putting up a "Viewer Discretion Advised" notice before Monty Python episodes on PBS? I mean, the two warnings we have here are not bad: one's a old man wearing a smoking jacket, garter belt and high heels as he gives the warning, and the other is a typed message from the station saying "we've shown these in their entirety for many years and if you don't like it, watch Teletubies"...well, something like that.

I guess someone complained about the show...I wonder what took them so long, after all these years O_o

There is a new Prudish Movement afoot these days.

Me thinks viewers are getting a bit too sensitive lately O_o

Then again, why aren't they slathering warnings on all the crap they show on the major networks? Monty Python is tame compared to the shows they're carrying.
