Hm, didn't register at all they were excessive.  Then again, I watch
HBO series and Oz is one example where the guys say fuck every other
word, along with racial and sexual slurs.

Dead Like Me is considered a 'cult' classic of the newer generations
and did get some good critical reviews.  However, after two seasons,
the show was cancelled.  I believe there was some conflict of
interests in crew.
