Saw this on Chiller tonight


Cox Cable has a 'Chiller Theater' channel (#369 in the Las Vegas area; don't know about the rest of the country).

What I don't get is that the channel (just starting out, not much of an audience yet) makes no attempts to censor graphic violence, yet they're really anal about bad language. Zombie Town played back-to-back with another low-budget zombie flick called "The Mad", and in every instance of profanity, the words are replaced with silence (which is preferable to substituting the dialogue for cheesy replacement words like 'darn' and 'motherlover').

You can't get this channel unless you've paid for it. Back when Comedy Central was a premium add-on and not a given like it is today, they used to get away with S-words on transplanted British programs (such as Absolutely Fabulous and such).

Maybe Chiller is gearing up to be the horror equivalent of the Sci-Fi Channel.

Seth McFarlane has a friggin' TV set for a brain.
