I am late in reading this, but wondered what all of these post were 
about so I took time to read a few. 

I have never seen this show. I don't know what profanity was used. 
HOWEVER, talking about 'menstrating during intercourse'?, GIVE ME A 
BREAK!! What kind of a show is this?? That has no place on TV, 
especially prime time, as someone said it was. And I agree that it 
has no place in a "family" store. And Kemper would be out of place 
if he came in behind you and told the man to turn it back on. As out 
of place as he is in suggesting that people who don't like the show 
are less than 'intellegent'!!  Personally, I don't think that they 
need to play anything in a store, it is all too loud anyway. I just 
want to shop in peace.
