CALLING ALL NETWORK FANS!

[NZone]

aren't those usually edited down a ton?

[Olivia]

Yes and no. I'm assuming we're just talking about basic/general channels so I guess they are edited, but at the same time, if it's on late at night I don't think they are.

But over the years they are putting on movies earlier and earlier with less/no editing or it seems that way.

[NZone]

also aren't they edited down for time?

[Olivia]

Yeah, that's what I was including in the editing. Not just some of the content, but the running length too. You're right.

So, a lot of times with movies that were released in theaters with an R rating, if you see them on TV, you'll notice that if, say language in one scene was a problem, a lot of times that scene will be completely removed from the film if it does not contribute that much to the story, but if it does, then a lot of times the studios will tell the stations to air it between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., or the studios will get the actors to, for TV broadcast, re-record the lines in those scenes with less offensive language.

I know that in the film Happy Gilmore, whenever it is aired on TV, a lot of the film is redubbed so that stations can air it at 6, 7, 8 o'clock in the evening. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116483/alternateversions)

R=Restricted Under 18

An R rating means that it is for people who are 18 and older only.

Usually on TV the highest rating you'll usually see is PG-13.

[bozonessinc]

Right you are Tomswift. My Tv is set to block out R rated stuff because its mostly naked people and Porn...

[NZone]

R=17 and older, Porn is usually NR

There are alot of R rated movies on the tv.

Whoa! That's not true at all! I've seen several R rated movies, and they're NOT full of nudity and porn! I don't know what movies you've seen, but like NZone says, porn is probably not rated...or maybe NC17. (not that I watch porn.)

[bozonessinc]

Sorry, I have not watched R rated movies. I was just making a guess. I guess I should not be so steretypical...

[Olivia]

A lot of R-rated movies might just have a lot of swearing, a lot of violence and/or mature issues too.

[FrankJoeATAC]

I've seen one R-rated movie called The Rain Man. It was pretty good, but it did have some swearing, and one other inappropriate scene.

[JoeHardyRocks]

I've seen 'Open Water'. I'm not sure what it was rated, though. Oh, and 'Jaws'.
