Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 I don't watch FX often but when I do watch their shows it's because of the overall writing and the characters not the nudity and cursing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 But the nudity and cursing doesn't keep you from watching, does it? You simply accept that it's the norm for those shows. This language and nudity is now the norm for these shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 And it's not what's keeping me from watching them either. Frankly, it doesn't even make the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 The sex scenes so far haven't been extreme at all. What has been on OLTL reminds me of what used to pass in the 80s and 90s before they started cracking down -- same with the fantasy with Cara and David.

Members Khan Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 Really, to call what we've seen thus far on AMC and OLTL as "racy" (something I cop to doing myself) might be overstating things. I mean, I must admit, it hasn't approached anywhere near what I used to see on Blowtime at four in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted May 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 I haven't seen the new AMC or OLTL - what kind of swear words are they using? Are we talking "hell", "damn" and "crap" or are we talking F bombs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 All they have said is sh-t and assh-le. I think a couple of F bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 The world is so strange. Women have been repeatedly raped on AMC for over 40 years (The mind games Michael played with Bianca before her rape were more offensive to me than Angie saying "sh!t") yet curse words are where some draw the line. ABCD didn't shy away from showing violence, graphic violence (I consider watching characters shoot each other point blank pretty violent) in the last 2 decades yet a little nudity is just. too. much.

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 Who said that's where they draw the line? I'm saying it's unnecessary and doesn't make the shows any edgier like some claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 Plenty of people. Not here necessarily but I've seen comments to that effect online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 Too much? Not really. It looks to me as though someone is trying too much for no real reason. If one character said one word within the first few weeks I'd say it's normal. Now I feel as though I am a geeky soap freak someone is trying to make feel me feel that I am one of the cool kids when I watch my stories. I am fine with the "nudity". All I have seen so far is soap sex that didn't feel like watching two elderly lesbians in bed. I don't mind the "bad words" when they serve the character. But I don't get impressed by them and I get tired of them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 No f-bombs. It's all basic cable stuff (which seems to mean anything but that word...) "like watching two elderly lesbians in bed." LOL what? It doesn't but it does help the dialogue to sound more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BreakingDownTheWalls Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 I don't watch any dramas or whatever, but I know there's no way these reboots can compete with those shows. This. Before we go proclaiming that they're better than the network soaps, let's wait and see where they are 6 months to a year from now. If they're even still around. And from what I've heard, they're not any different from the network shows other than the cussing and the nudity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 AMC barely even had hired writers before they started filming--it's their own fault, but to say they had more prep time than other soaps is absurd. You seem to not like to read half of my posts. I agreed that it WAS hyperbole to make such exclamations. This is he way people tend to be in general--especially on the internet. It doesn't change if they have people standing around, shaking their heads announcing "Well you will be sorry, remember how this worked out last time.:" But if that's fun for you--more power to you.
