This is kinda useless to those of you who don't have CBC-getting "its on our local cable 'cause we're close enough to the border that its considered a local station" (lowest point of that border, I believe, but what hey) relatives you can whine at to tape it for you (as I do), but hey, I do what I can!

I was just trolling ahead on the CBC site to see if the Da Vinci movie had made it on schedule yet. After this detour, will continue.

on Fridays, starting the week they rerun the pilot.

Thanks for the good news, ghostjmf. I watching it faithfully when it first started and then somehow got out of the habit of watching it. I've been wondering if it would be renewed and/or shown in reruns this summer. Glad to see it will be. This time I'll make sure to remember to watch it.

Good god I hope it is on CBC HD so I can rip the show. Like many others I had to put up with the terrible quality and sporadic analogue TV rips for the first season.

Is that June 7 or July 6?

(best not to use those kind of abbreviations since this is showing in Canada and the US, and abbreviation standards are not consistent...)

Thanks!

In Americanese here: I was looking at the CBC's online schedule calendar for the month of June. I mean, hey, Brit-influenced people may get the date order wrong when they write, but the calendar looks the same as that here "down south" as it were.

If you wait 'til 7/6/07 to see this show, you're gonna miss it, in other words.

It was great watching the pilot movie again last night. A whole lotta things made so much more sense. I can't recall: Were the four-letter words silenced the first time around? I don't remember that, but maybe they were. Found that a bit distracting. But otherwise, I enjoyed seeing it again.

A few f-words slipped through initially, but they were more thoroughly bleeped out after the first time. The rest were left alone.

The f-words in the series should remain intact, as they did in the first run.

I'm pretty sure it was more than just f-words that got bleeped. Seems pretty dumb to me, since it's not like these guys are going to talk in polite Queen's English.

The other thing that bugged me was that as far as I could tell, CBC didn't promote rerunning the pilot movie or series at all. We were watching the NHL final telecasts, and I can't recall a single time when "Intelligence" was promoted. The pilot movie would've run regardless of whether the series continued, as it was scheduled on an alternate night when no game would've been played. Yet I didn't see a single ad spot devoted to it. They had the perfect opportunity to promote this series to a larger audience, and blew it.

I'm still awaiting the mailing of my copy of the pilot, but will get it "eventually".

Anyhow:

CBC did bleep "the f-word" on the rare occasions it occurred on Da Vinci. Other swear words they let through (but Program Partners didn't, sob).

A good example of "f-word silencing" on Da Vinci comes in an episode which contains my favorite line, not the f-word line, which made it through the CBC but got totally clipped out by Program Partners. Even though, technically, it contains no registered swear words.

F-word is here, a couple lines up (& I haven't replayed the Program Partners version to see if this line is even still there):

CBC version of episode #85, season 7, "First The Seducing, Then The Screwing";
Scene at end with Zach & Da Vinci in Da Vinci's office:

(this is not verbatim but is close, as I replayed it recently to get that other line verbatim)

Da Vinci: says something about "your friend Mon-tee" <spelling to get Da Vinci's occasional somewhat-French accent here; Nick Campbell, while not of French descent, lived in Montreal for a while growing up, so maybe picked it up>

Zach interjects: "Monty, the lying little mother<silence>.."

I know for you Canadians I'm far behind, but here in The Netherlands the pilot of Intelligence starts coming sunday on the Hallmark Channel, and after this the entire series is aired on sundays. After reading a lot about the show, and after seeing some video samples on the internet, I am really looding forward to this. I'm curious if they will bleep out the f-words, but actually can't imagine it, f-words hardly are ever bleeped out here.

I guess I will be reading the reviews of the episodes of Thesnowleopard that I found here after each episode I see.

[–] monique-ponsen 18 years ago

Okay, yesterday I saw the pilot of Intelligence, and I must say that I liked it very much, and now I am curious of what is going to happen further. Next week they start with the 13 episodes so I don't have to wait much longer to see. I still like Ian Tracey very much, although in the beginning I had the feeling: "Hey, there's Huckleberry Finn as an adult playing the role of Jimmy Reardon." LOL. But then again, the reason I watch Intelligence in the first place is to see Ian Tracey play again, I had not seen him since Huckleberry Finn, but I got a renewed interest in him after I saw the DVD of Huckleberry Finn and his friends.

By the way, all the F-words, JC words, etc were not silenced out here.

[–] rdeschene 18 years ago

Yet, interestingly enough, the f-word came through loud and clear, at least once, in last week's "Intelligence" rerun.

[–] thesnowleopard 18 years ago

According to Chris Haddock, CBC allowed them two per episode, which appears to have been an agreement struck after the pilot aired. Wait until the ep Ian Tracey directed comes around, though--he managed to sneak in five or six, bless him. That cracked me up. I always did wonder if that expletive and hand gesture he did in Cheap Aftershave were a deliberate poke at the censors. Now, I'm wondering if they'll fuzz the extra ones.

We had a fun, uncensored discussion on Stolen Briefcase a few months back about the various expletives sneaked under the wire in DVI, DVCH, the pilot and the series. Ah, the things you get to do on Yahoo groups that you can't do in places like IMDB...
