Child's Play: The TV series

Not being rated R is really not an issue. I’ve seen some pretty violent/gory stuff on SyFy (or Sci-Fi for those who prefer the old way).

The Chucky movies aren’t known to be gorefests anyway. At this point it’s about story.

I’m glad it’s on regular tv. I was concerned it’d be some streaming or premium channel exclusive.

It's not about gore. They can work around that. The thing is that Chucky has a hilariously potty mouth. And now that can't be a thing.

Oh that. Some shows allow cussing. Pretty much anything but the F word nowadays. Even that’s allowed in some cases I think.

Some programming gets uncensored reruns late at night.

If it's a show where Chucky can't say "you can't f*** with the Chuck" then don't bother.

Though I'm reasonably certain it is ending up at SyFy because the other ones didn't want it.

Ok I’m pretty sure you don’t seriously mean the whole show is pointless if he can’t use the F word or that phrase (which if I remember correctly was only ever said in part 3)

How do you know nobody else wanted it?

A show can be good without dropping the F bomb every 5 minutes. This is nitpicking just to do it.

No, not nitpicking. This is Chucky. He says it every other line.

4 was fun, even if it doesn't hold up particularly well now. 1-3 still play great. 5 was one of the worst movies ever made. 6 was surprisingly good, legit scary like the first one. 7 (the latest) isn't bad but has a lot going on.

Andrew, you simply can't reason with people who think that "different" and "good" can peacefully co-exist.

You and I get it. That's about all we can hope for.
