I have to admit that I was pretty surprised with the first/second shows and the language, but fortunately it has toned down a bit. I've seen the first seven now and actually, for the time and neighborhood, the language is pretty acurate. Tough to get around sometimes, but I, for one, have begun to really enjoy the characters and as for the costuming, I'm fairly good with the mid/later Vic era and they're really well done. Just my two cents :) Chris G.
