Bleep My Rerun Says

It always seems strange when some sort of questionable language is bleeped or blanked out of a rerun show. Why is it objectionable now but it was fine when the show first aired? In some instances it makes sense obviously “Sex and The City” reruns shown on basic cable channels are not allowed to use the words that the show got away with on HBO. The part that does not make sense is the shows that originally aired on CBS or NBC are now more censored on Hallmark or A&E. The specific examples I noticed are from “Golden Girls”,” Empty Nest” and “Criminal Minds”. The words that are usually blanked out are “bitch” and “godddamn” the part I don’t understand is why it was ok to say these words on NBC in 1985 but not on Hallmark channel in 2011. Also in the case of “Criminal Minds” the show is still airing on CBS and is allowed to say those words but they are censored on the reruns A&E shows. I find it kind of contrary that the words are objectionable despite the content of the shows when they are not saying those words. The Golden Girls always talk about sex even when they use metaphors and innuendos to make it seem cleaner then it really is. Meanwhile “Criminal Minds” features gory murders and descriptions of serial killers, rapists and pedophiles’, so blanking out a few borderline “bad” words hardly seems worth the effort since the show is still not happy or suitable for children. The only theory I could come up with for the difference in censoring is the time of day I know some networks are allowed to have more adult content late at night so maybe they clean up the dialogue on the reruns so they can show them during the day presumably when children maybe watching. That being said children should not be watching “Criminal Minds” at any time of day. I actually can’t tell what they are trying to blank out of “Empty Nest” it usually seems like the end of an insult but it’s not obvious what the missing word or phrase should be as is often the case when a word is removed. At least it’s better then some reality shows where there’s more bleeping then actual dialogue.
