I only noticed it in the last two of ep, incl last night.
Mindy said 'sh*t' both times.
It seems odd on a show that airs on basic cable before 9 pm, at least Pacific Time.
I'm not offended by it, or a prude - I have two positions named after me for God sake!

Since it switched to Hulu. Where are you watching it that it's on basic cable? Canada? I don't know what the rules are there. However, it does seem like they've upped the swearing since the switch. That said, it always surprised me that they could say d*ck when it was on broadcast. To me, that seems like a stronger work than sh*t.
I don't know what the rules are, if any, for Hulu. On pay cable, there apparently are no rules, as Veep had an episode two weeks ago revolving around someone calling Selena the C word (which they used). However, it's also possible Mindy wants to keep it semi-clean for possible syndication reasons.

Yes, I watch it on CityTV, Vancouver, Canada. I figured as much it started after switching to Hulu.
I had to rewind on my DVR when I first heard Mindy say sh*t last ep when she visited Peter in Texas. Did she just say...?
D*ck doesn't seem harsh to me, definitely less harsh than C.
I remember being really young watching the first Beverly Hills 90210 way back in early 90s, where some guy called a girl a bitch. Being so young, me and my sister's jaws dropped LOL, and it wasn't like we were raised super strict either. ahhh times changing.
TMP still a good show though, glad it was picked up by Hulu

Ha! Mindy said sh*t again on last nights ep. while playing softball. That's 3 eps in a row (that I noticed).
I'm beginning to think there's some swear quota that writers/Mindy wants to reach, weather its an inside-joke or what-not. One "sh*t" per episode
And I remember Dynasty (and Knots Landing and Falcon Crest). I didn't watch them, too young, but my mom did LOL.
I can imagine Dynasty and the word "bitch" being a big deal back in the 80s.
These days, screw swear words, elementary kids are sexting during recess!
Man, I'm sooo glad I grew up in the 80s & 90s.

It's funny how a memory like that sticks out. The first time I heard bitch on tv as a little kid was during a Simpsons episode, an episode about Santa's Little Helper. I told my aunt they said the B word on tv and she actually thought I meant butt or something. Now sh!t is pretty commonplace on tv. Funny how things change.
shareSpeaking of swearing and slightly off topic. Google Schitt's creek and Colbert. It's interesting how arbitrary the censors can be.
