I didn't expect India! Iran for sure does that too. The zoom part was kind of nostalgic :) they are getting better and better (just technically). They were even covering women bodies!

Shit load of money and resources for these nonesense censorships.

I'm from India and I have seen shows like BBT, HIMYM, Friends, etc,. dozen of times on different national televisions and then again on streaming platforms. I have not seen a single instance of censorship in these shows(except for subtitles replacing words like Fuck with ** on national television). I'm not saying we don't censor at all but it's definitely not as bad as this post or GP is saying.

Thanks for chiming in. I am really surprised to see the grand parent comment to be the top one on this thread. I guess facts don't come in the way here when people want to collect some brownie points by self-flagellating.

In India, movies & shows that are shown in theaters and broadcast media are subject to Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). However majority of American sitcoms are OTT and hence still not under the purview of CBFC.

Let's not dwell too far for an example:) "Sacred Games" had enough sex, nudity and cussing - far more than average American sitcom
