Corrine said cuddilypy get it over it.
It was okay, my dad and I got a laugh from some of it, Pro Z never needs to wear that bike suit again that was just creepy.

Corrine said cuddilypy get it over it. but what if they said 'hell'? is that going about children's tv levels of profanity?

cuddilypy isn't as bad as 'hell' and it also depends on what you are saying to consider 'hell' to be a swear word. I personally don't say cuddilypy or any swear words, the onyl thign I actualyl says it 'that sucks' or something.

That depends on your ethics. If you take the banned words and interpret the law very literally (judicial restraint), then no. It if interpret it with a stretch on what the idea of the law is supposed to be, then yes (judicial activism). (<--stupidly applying what he learning in Government class).
You kind of have three categories swear words: borderline, minor, and major. The borderline are what most would not consider swear words because they are often used as figures of speech but there are a few more restrictive in how they define a swear word. That is what we're dealing with here. I would say that it is above children's levels of profanity because that level should be 0. I mean, we complain that children are out of control with the way they dress and speak and then we put it on television and say it is alright for them to do it? Nice going with confusing the already confused teenagers *shakes head*
When I first heard a swear word in Harry Potter (2nd movie) I was shocked because the movie targets ages that are quite young.
Corrine was out of character with her speech. The writers really took from freedom in writing this episode. Things from it probably should have been set up in Seasons 1 or 2. Instead, it looks out of place.

I think I need to re-watch Probability - I didn't notice Corrine say that word... I'm sure she said 'the day of my life' because I remeber being slightly confused (as in 'eh? Oh, maybe it's a Canadian turn of phrase.') Perhaps they cut it out of ours? That would be weird though, as it's shown later here than it is for you guys and I'm sure FKids would let one measly minor word go. (OT - the amount of swearing in Harry Potter is probably appauling. I'd like to point out that hardly anybody says the word 'bloody' or the phrase 'bloody hell' quite as much as Ron Weasley ) Statistically speaking, having shows depicting teenagers who don't swear is not really very realistic. Not all teenagers swear but plenty do Hmph. The Janitor is rude. He nearly knocks somebody's head off with an owl bust and he doesn't even say sorry... *tuts* What is the world coming to? I'm more worried about the lack of manners than the increase in swearing But again with the imminent death vibe. I know it wasn't caused by Corrine in this circumstance but it's there. Maybe Corrine is actually really morbid?

Marshall, Corrine, Janitor. Everyone out of character today. Even Stu, while boneheadingly almost killing everyone, is too nice. It wasnt well written. They sacrificed the characters for stupid comedy. Only having Marvin return was a good moment.
MC, every teenager swears. I woudnt put it more than 5% who dont. Doesn't make it right and that won't protect you from getting in trouble for saying any to teachers. - MirrorCard
**deleted content** I don't know if we want to allow that (and we were told to stop) - MirrorCard Thankyou MC, seems like everything I say/type to Mac just gets ingored. You're already warned Mac, I'd listen to the mods and I if I were you-FNM

Marshall, Corrine, Janitor. Everyone out of character today. i guess thats why they call it a "filler" episode? Stew is Stew. duh. he's a 6 time gold medal winner too? whoa. did he ever kill anyone when he won gold medals? response deleted. What you were responding to was deleted. - MirrorCard

Filler episodes that have no association with established the established character of the characters *thinks about that* is a sign of a show that that isn't at the expectation that we had placed on BHH that seperated it from the other TNBC shows.
HailStorm, I actually didn't notice it either. I assumed I had missed it.

Overall, I enjoyed the episode--much better than the stats class I took last semester with the bell curve and all. It sort of reminded me of The Twilight Zone. I'm not sure why, maybe the Janitor's little speech at the end. Stu, such strength could lead to such damage. For some reason, Z's bike outfit reminded me of Cubby--maybe just the helmet and glasses. Marshall, prioritize and time management.

Who wrote this thing? it felt like another series. it didn't feel BHH-ish. Sort of reminded me of those Final Destination movies..w/o the real gory deaths of course. it was more like looking for the signs and figuring out who's next type of thing. "Deaths Design" hahah. ;D and of course i HAVE TO comment on my dear Tony Janitor. YAY!! YUMMY!!! TEH BULGE!! i watched that part at the end 10 times. i love when he talks. i love tonys voice. you can hear the canadian in him. i love it. and it was pretty darn hilarious when he knocked that UGLY statue off. (hilarious as in he was clumsy, not that Z was gonna get hurt) it deserved to break..that hideous thing. (I think HS can do pics with that statue like she does with Big Vic/Little Vic..that'd be cool) SHAME ON YOU JANITOR for scaring me like that...sitting so close to the edge of the roof. anyway..i give this one 2.5/5. but for Janitor content 5/5.

I still like and enjoyed Probability... it had somewhat a 'mystery' feel to it...kind of like a mystery program or book...though it did deviate from the norm it was great fun...*nods*...
I wonder how many takes the 'statue incident' took...and how many owls they had... and how many the 'Durst - Marshall - Stew - window - ceiling fan incident' took... great stunts in this episode...it should win something for imagination...*nods*... hmmm...guess it's kind of a stand alone episode like Hemispheres...enjoyable without having to know the back story... ;D ;D ;D
