@@courylanders4142 - The New Quantum Leap is pretty Bad. It needs much better writing. The Indivudal episodes are not good and the Macro-Plot whatever that is going to turn out to be doesn't make up for poorly written individual episodes.
They're running this series on SyFy again now, and now they're censoring out words like "negro", "colored", even "retarded" and "Redskins" (spoken by an Indian character). It's really really sad. I'm glad we have these original clips so we don't have to try to hide history, good bad or ugly.
They don't know where to draw the line, and maybe parents don't know how to discuss slurs with their children. School is a place to teach, but they want to ban books rather than talk about what's wrong. Such as "You can't say these things to other people, or even talk like this in private. But you can quote a speech or book to discuss it." The irony is that those most anti-"PC" want to bring back the N-word so they can say it in public. A week ago I went looking for a list of words they are muting; thanks for sharing. I didn't think Sam said the "N" word (not nuclear) but one of those you mentioned. It sounded like Jimmy Kimmel's "unnecessary censorship" bit where by bleeping a word or part of a word, it makes it sound worse than it was. In the road trip episode the sister says "moron" and "twerp" but those weren't muted on SyFy marathon. Pretty much everything was muted on the episode "Jimmy" even though mental retardation used to be the medical diagnosis (before they changed it to autistic, spiking the numbers and freaking out parents), while the six-letter version was always a slur. I caught Sam saying the 8-letter version by lip-reading. I misremember whether they also muted the word "whore" which the wife said in the episode where he's a southern lawyer.
@@sandal_thong8631 For the record, Sam did utter THE n-word in "Color of Truth." And it aired then and in repeats without any controversy. We're becoming so hyper-sensitive. I have to strongly push back on where you said, "most anti-"PC" want to bring back the N-word so they can say it in public." The only belief going on here is that we have something resembling a thick skin and realize that these words exist, they should be avoided in polite company, but saying n***er is no where even close to any physical harm. Papa John got run out of his buisness just for QUOTING Col. Sanders. It's gone from "be polite and don't use certain words in certain company if you can avoid it" to "Even quoting someone else is worthy o ruining that person's life." It's WAY out of proportion. It's not so much that I want to hear n***er, but I see the slippery slope that we're going down and it's quite scary.
@@tomservo75 John Schnatter of Papa Johns didn't just quote Colonel Sanders, he made it up, showing his prejudice (May 2018). Before that he embarrassed the company by saying he opposed Obamacare because it would supposedly cost 11-14 cents per pizza (2012). He had already got on the Trump-bandwagon parroting his attacks on NFL players protesting racial inequality and police brutality (Oct 2017). He removed their sponsorship symbols of the NFL, saying protests were hurting their sales. He had to go; sales went down do to _his_ actions. He's now promoting a conspiracy theory saying Biden is responsible for the Russian invasion of Ukraine to distract Americans. Rich people including celebrity actors and politicians are not like a barber repeating stuff heard on the radio; they have personal assistants to fact-check for them and manage social media accounts, even if they're not going to read the paper to get to the truth. So that means their false and offensive statements are not accidents but deliberate lies. I couldn't tell from your OP, but your second post shows you are on the wrong side that believe Black lives DON'T matter. We've gone down the real slippery slope, so that the far-right are now against free and fair elections because Glorious Leader didn't win and it's fraud just because he said so.

@@matt_canon exactly. Which sadly seems to be a distinction we've recently lost. And hey I am as left wing progressive as they come. ACAB. BLM.

There's a time and place but unfort a lot of major corps wanna cover their asses and just put a blanket ban on things.
I disagree with you. I think use of a Word depends on context. In the context of the time and setting of the story- it is appropriate. I also do think it is Wrong that Black People can use the N Word all the time, but if a White Person uses the Word- no matter what the Context- they are in real, real trouble.

People criticizing the new remake should watch the old episodes. It was always about social issues.
