TREK EPS not up to specs...

In the other thread I am discussing why GR even bothered to move to sydicated shows if they ended up being under the same scrutiny, this time the channnels and Paramount, as they were under NBC's do called 'touch censorship'..

In fact, other than "Conspiracy"'s head blowing up shot, what episodes of TNG-DS9 (the syndicated shows) would not have been aired on TV due to subject matter/violence. Other than Dax's kissing the other woman, I can't think of any episode that would have been to 'hot' to air. Considering that by the time the 90s come along we already have Network TV doing risky stuff like SOAP--ALL IN THE FAMILY..ect....not to mention Dynasty and Dallas and MELROSE which were far more sexier than TREK. We had ATEAM and other high violence shows....we had MASH-ALL IN THE FAMILY already doing racial episodes, and GAY episodes, and rape episodes...Not to mention Soap which had everything going on...

So...can you list me episodes of TNG-DS9 (Voyager and Enterprise do not count) that were far too violent-sexy or whatver to have ever aired at 9pm on a regular network (ABC-NBC-CBS-FOX)

Were there ever really any? I mean the violence was always very fantastical, there wasn't excessive blood or anything.... Then again, I often don't get the regulations of American broadcast networks considering these things...
