FX's boss says the idea is to get Damages seen by as many people as possible after getting decent reviews but unimpressive numbers in its debut. And it can't hurt MyTV, which aired only telenovelas when it was launched a couple of years ago and has been floundering since that flop.
But theres a catch: No sex!
Sexual content and sweary FX language will be cut from the shows to give them a TV-14 rating. We didn't know this, but the censored versions have already run on FX when the shows are repeated during the day.
Beware! FX will also air the watered-down versions in their Damages marathons later this year.
Damages is the second FX series to be aired on a broadcast network. web; Fox aired a few episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
