Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think they can be a bit less careful about what words they use, and AMC (random shot of Scott coming out of a shower aside) was kinda notorious during its last years for having less flesh on screen than nearly any other soap since the 70s, but the show wouldn't really benefit from anything more than that (and by language I don't mean actual swearing, just that I know even in the later years there was a lot of network censorship about what words could be used--for instance in the past decade they seem to think abortion has become a naughty word and always use a euphenism).

Members Khan Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Profanity? I'm fine with it, although it'd be weird to hear La Kane call Brooke a c*unt. Nudity? Eh, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Only one more person has to sign and then I'll watch with happiness. Pretty sure everyone knows who that is. Also. About the profanity thing. I wanna hear Dr. Dave say the f word!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'm not a prude but I think the shows would be best served by sticking to basic cable standards for language/nudity. You can have good drama without going R-rated. Look at Breaking Bad or Mad Men. Of course we aren't talking about that kind of storytelling but If the stories are compelling, then the language is a secondary concern. Nudity strikes me as a potential pitfall. I'm not tuning in to the Pine Valley version of Red Shoe Diaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 This pretty much describes the last 5 years of ALL MY CHILDREN on ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I wouldn't mind a little more profanity in terms of they can say bitch and words like that more. And I wouldn't mind the occasional FUUCK YOU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wizzerkat Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I don't care if they had profanity/tasteful nudity as long as it was not gratuitous and right for the story. I don't really think they will do much if any of that, though. Love that Debbi has signed on as I still have a crush on her If this goes off, I wonder if they would have people come back for flashbacks even if they don't sign on for the show at large?

Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Yes,cougars are attractive to me too. But imagine an AMC with nudity and profanity. Do you really wanna see Erica Kane, titties out, shouting "!@#$%^&*] ME RAW, JACKSON!". Just no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 LOL except it doesn't. It was the most chaste show on daytime during those 5 years... Nudity didn't seem to help any of the 80s attemps at cable soaps like New Day in Eden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
