It just seems so out of place. Just once or twice an episode. There's no reason for it. If it was said 20 times a show I wouldn't say anything. But like I said it's so out of place and pointless to write it in the script once or twice.
shareMy wife wont watch it because of all the F-words. I like the show but the language and the laugh tracks need to stop.
shareYour wife is probably the type who is offended by everything. It's now very common to hear people say "I'm offended by that", as if it gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase.
"I'm offended by that".......
Well so *beep* what.....lol
? this is how most people talk. If it offends u then don't watch.
shareOut of place? Have you never spent 5 minutes around good ol' boys and ranch folk? Sorry but that's how we talk, Burly. Not trying to be rude, obnoxious or crass, it's just the day to day vernacular we all pick up by early teens. I had to clean things up when I moved to a more "respectable" big city and I still catch hell for my proper speak from older relatives. What you see on this show? Heck that's the cleaned up version of what it's really like.
shareIt's a sitcom. It's not to be taken literal. I'm very much aware how good ol' boys talk seeing that I live smack dab in the middle of Appalachia. It just seems like that they have to say strong language just because it's on Netflix. Take out the 1 or 2 f bombs in an episode and it's still the same dialogue. I just don't understand the need for it.
shareLike I said, the fact that what you see on the show is such a watered down version of reality, it clearly fits your "not to be taken literal" guidelines. I'm sorry you find it offensive, because to me it is familiar and even comfortable. Clearly my sort are who the writers were aiming at, not yours, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't find that very refreshing.
Just pretend they're saying "Bazinga!" and you'll be fine.
I like the small amount of foul language. I find it refreshing. Like Johnny is saying, it adds a little verisimilitude. The language feels natural. So I don't mind it.
sharejust watched the pilot, was surprised to hear an F bomb in it. didn't know it had swearing in it, F and S word.
I find it out of place cause of the laugh track, if it didn't have that it would be fine.
it'd be like watching Big Bang Theory and Sheldon dropping one randomly, It would be strange.
That's what makes it different. I dig it.
shareTotally agree. I watched the pilot, which I will admit was herky jerky at best. I'm not much for laughtracks, but I was 100% hooked when Colt put his foot up on the coffee table and Bo asks "WHAT THE F&@K IS ON YOUR FEET?".....cue laughtrack...
I will watch every episode that Netflix airs of this show. Best program on TV since Big Bang Theory's first season, except much more relatable to rural America, which has been ignored by sitcom creators for far too long. I read one review that states that Ashton Kutcher has no credibility in a small town setting.....they knpw he grew up in rural Iowa, right? Sheesh!
Yes, I also find it to be refreshing.
shareWhat's the difference between language and lewd jokes? If you're mad about one then you should be about the other. No difference
shareI grew up in Wyoming. We say what we feel which include lots of f-bombs. Just because it's a sitcom, doesn't mean they need to make it fluffy for you city boys.
shareBecause Netflix doesn't have the same rules as television they don't have to worry about the FCC and I think they are just enjoying the fact that they CAN use the F word. It's probably the first sitcom-like show to do so.
shareI believe it was Don Reo's idea to mix a conventional sitcom with more realistic language and dramatic moments.
That is so Haven! 🌌
I found it refreshing they ramped up the number of f-bombs in Season 2. A well timed f-bomb adds more color to the dialog. Deadwood is a great example of well timed f-bombs and holds the record for the most.
shareThe only thing that separates us from the animals is our language, another thing America seems to have forgotten.. ..Sad
shareOne or two F-bombs sounds normal. But this second season it seems almost non-stop from multiple characters. It is lazy writing. Most people have a wider range of words to express themselves. We have some very colorful characters in our little town and they don't just rely on the F-bomb over and over.
