The FCC says it's okay to have offensive material after 10 PM since many channels are shown on the east and west coasts at the same time, they use 1 AM as a safeguard to be after 10 PM on both coasts.
I've actually been annoyed with Comedy Central because they haven't been showing the unedited shows and films after 1 AM like they used to.
The rules for cable are supposed to be looser than the rules for network since you pay for cable but sometimes, the cable channels, like BBCA, are cowards.
Dick and penis are both acceptable now although I don't know if a network show would try it. Fuck is supposed to be fine after 10 PM but I've never heard it earlier than 1 AM except on accident or on a pay channel. However, PBS used to have fuck on their programs before the post-Janet Jackson super bowl crackdown.
